Hyde Park in Joe Steele
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were buried in Hyde Park in 1932. At the funeral, a mourner named Cousin Lou told New York Post reporter Mike Sullivan that he suspected Joe Steele's involvement in the Roosevelts' deaths in a fire. Sullivan had had this suspicion himself, but lacked the proof to go to press with such an inflammatory accusation, and advised Lou not to do so either, for the same reason.
