Hyde Park in Joe Steele[]
Following their deaths in the fire at the New York State Executive Mansion in Albany, 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 the 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.[1]
