Am looking for information on Harry Travis Summersgill, aka Henry Traverse Summersgill, about 1872-1931. He was born to the third wife of Henry Traverse Summersgilll, a jeweler who had come to America from England. The first two wives died early. HT was born first to a young wife, and went to Verrmont Academy, then to Brown University, where he was quite an athlete. Then he went to Virginia, and finally he went to Tulane, where he was a medical student, and while he was there, he coached the 1900 and the 1901 Tulane football teams and his record was spectacular - they went from zero games won to 6 - all games in 1900, and 8 and 1 in 1901. He received his MD degree from Tulane in 1902.

When he lived in New Orleans, he apparently stayed with relatives.
He never married. He had a younger brother, and in his later years, he first lived with his mother in Vermont, and then went to Long Island, to visit his brother, where he died.

I'm interested in finding out more about this person. He was here in Cincinnati for about six months in 1913.

Thank you
