[edit] People from ... Category

Why is Mr. McFadden listed as being from Elmira, New York (USA)? He was born in Granville Center, Pennsylvania (USA) and worked for a bank in Pennsylvania before later becaming a senator from Pennsylvania. His only recorded contact with Elmira was that he attended a college there. NPeters22 originally had Mr. McFadden in the People from Pennsylvania category but HOT L Baltimore changed him to the People from New York category on 26 OCT 06. Believing this change to be an oversight, I am reverting the category back. If I am wrong, please explain and un-revert. JimScott 09:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poisoning Claims

According to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8450558837192717138 (around 11:50) Mr. McFadden was poisoned. Does anyone know anything about this ? 20:00, 15 June 2007

I've heard this elsewhere also An Astounding Exposure. The wikipedia article itself says his death was due to poisoning. If true, he would be the only Congressman assassinated by poisoning in the US. P L Logan 19:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm no right-winger or conspiracy dunce, but I found a couple of publications that reference. I'm open to being disproved, but apparently, User:Mateo_SA just wants to delete any mention of it, ref or no, using mere ad hominem arguments that since some sources may be anti-semitic/nazi in nature, the claims of poisoning are thereby untrue. I will admit though that it's been horribly difficult finding any alternative, more reputable reference to the exact causes of his death and claims of assassination attempts. Might actually have to go to a real library to discover this. J.A.McCoy (talk) 23:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
