[edit] Jesse W. Fell

I think this is same person as Jesse W. Fell. Suggest merging.A mcmurray 21:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe not but it seems an awfully big coincidence to have two political/business leaders of the 19th century with the same name from the same state. Could we do more research here and figure it out?A mcmurray 21:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

No, they cannot possibly be the same. Jesse W. Fell was born in 1808, by which time Jesse Fell was a judge and had invented the antracite-burning grate. Maybe they are related? We possibly should have a disambiguation page, though...--Stephan Schulz 21:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Are we sure that is right?A mcmurray 21:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Especially considering Jesse W. Fell's lack of sources.A mcmurray 21:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Jesse W. Fell at least seems to be fairly well-known: [1], [2], [3], [4],[5]. --Stephan Schulz 22:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

OK. Good deal. I just wanted to make sure, that's why I posted here instead of making some extreme changes, because I wasn't sure.A mcmurray 00:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tone

There is a strong cynical tone in this article that is actually distracting. The reader is drawn into the author's apparent bitterness about the destruction of the Fell house, but the reader doesn't care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.195.245.246 (talk) 11:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
