...one brother survived, one did not...

Harry and William Engenhart worked at Western Electric and attended the company outing on July 24, 1915. The two brothers were on the Eastland that morning, with one surviving and the other perishing in the tragedy. William survived, but Harry sadly never made it home after the Eastland capsized into the Chicago River.
