Adirondack Daily Enterprise, July 27, 1961, JOHN ENGLISH DIES AT AGE 95
Pioneer Hotelman
Pioneer hotelman John English died last night at his home at 69 Margaret Street. He was 95. He had been in ill health for several years following his retirement from business in Saranac Lake where he operated the Hotel St. Regis.
Born at Silver Lake on August 25, 1865, Mr. English was the son of Philip and Hannah Gleason English. He came to Saranac Lake in 1883 and had made his home in this village since that time.
The well-known hotelman worked at the old Gilligan House for Jabe Alexander as porter and in 1888 was hired by the Algonquin Hotel as porter when the famous Adirondack hostelry was located on the shores of Lower Saranac Lake.
