The following is from an article that appeared in the Milwaukee Journal in June of 1895 regarding former major league players:
(John) Peters is connected with the water department in St. Louis.(Daniel) Morgan is a successful businessman in St. Louis.(Billy) Redmond's whereabouts is unknown
Billy Redmond was actually dead. Based on Peter Morris' research, we now know that Redmond, who had been working in St. Louis as a bricklayer, died on either April 2 or 3, 1894 and was buried at St. Matthew's Cemetery in St. Louis. His last name, and that of the other family members buried near him, is spelled "Redmon" in the cemetery records and on the tombstones.
