hat.jpg

tracey the hatter2.jpg

No stranger to endorsing products, Ty Cobb, Major League Baseball outfielder, was willing to lend his name or likeness in exchange for a nice payday. Clothing was one such line, and this straw hat is one of the rarer Cobb items from the early 20th century. Made by "Tracey the Hatter," the inside top of the hat features the company name, "Norristown, PA - Erie, PA - Jamestown, NY" and the name "Ty Cobb." A 7-1/8" size tag hangs from the inside band. The hat has remained in remarkable condition, with just a bit of staining in the center inside, no cracking to the leather interior band, and good condition of the straw.

March 21, 2015 Post-Journal

In Years Past...1915...Tracey, the Hatter, opened his new store at 115 Main Street in Jamestown the previous morning. The place had been completely remodeled since it was occupied by the Wells Fargo Express Company and the present appearance was all that could be desired for an attractive and up-to-date hat store. Jamestown was the twelfth city to be selected by the Tracey concern for a branch store. Other stores were scattered over the eastern and central states. Edwin A. Tracey would have charge of the local store and he expected to make Jamestown his home. A goodly number of men visited the new store in the morning and afternoon and each visitor was presented with a souvenir in the way of a hat cleaner.

An Hour article about Dr. William J. Tracey, late in his life, reported that it is the only instance in Norwalk of a school being named for a (then) living person. He was a surgeon, a founder of Norwalk Hospital and a long-time member of the school board.

 

30 Sep 1891 Daily Norwalk gazette and Saturday's Norwalk record

Dr. William J. Tracey and Miss Kate Finnegan were married this morning at St. Mary's parsonage, by Rev. Father Slocum. After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served at the residence of the bride’s parents on Center avenue, after which the happy couple started on a wedding tour to Washington, D. C.

 

18 Aug 1897 Evening gazette (Norwalk, Conn.)

A Wise Selection.

Dr. Wm. J Tracey Elected Health Officer For South Norwalk.

An Important Meeting of The Board of Health Held.

The newly appointed Board of Health of South Norwalk, consisting of Dr. G. S. Kendall, Dr. L. M. Allen and Dr. W. B, Bean, held their first meeting at the residence of Dr. L. M. Allen, on Washington street, last evening and discussed health matters for that city. Dr. Kendall, the president, occupied the chair and Dr. Bean acted as secre­tary of the board.

The principal object of the meeting was the election of a health officer and minor officials.

Dr. William J. Tracey of Norwalk was unanimously elected health officer of South Norwalk for a term of four years, John W. Dake plumbing inspector, Chief of Police William Vollmer sanitary inspector and Attorney William H. Tammany clerk of the board of health.

The selection of Dr. Tracey as health officer was not only a compliment to that efficient physician, but a wise one on the part of the board of health, and it will receive the hearty endorsement of all who desire to see the health rules enforced without fear or favor.

 

Norwalk Hospital Association

Since 1868 local doctors had been meeting professionally, as the Norwalk Medical Society. Its secretary, William J. Tracey, MD, became medical director of the hospital in 1892, first of a Tracey tradition of physicians that is still going strong a century later, in the fourth generation.

Board of Health Member: Edward Tracey, MD

Edward J. Tracey, MD, and his family. Dr. Tracey practiced surgery in Norwalk for many years and has served as a member of the Norwalk Board of Health since 1978. The Tracey family connection goes back much further than Dr. Tracey’s tenure on the Board and even further than Norwalk’s centennial. Dr. Ed Tracey’s grandfather, Dr. William J. Tracey, was Norwalk’s health officer from 1893 to 1913. According to Norwalk: An Historical Account (1979), the elder Dr. Tracey “was everywhere—peering into wells and water tanks, cesspools and sewers, privies and piggeries, marking mosquito-breeding pools, examining conditions in the Jail House, and tracking down every single case of typhoid fever.” At a time when infectious diseases and poor sanitation were leading causes of poor health, Dr. Tracey took the death rate in Norwalk from one of the highest in the state to one of the lowest.
