This Week in Cincinnati History: Coney Island Easter Egg Hunt & Nicholas Longworth III Funeral, 1931
On April 4, 1931, the Cincinnati Public Recreation Commission held an Easter Egg Hunt at Coney Island. Charles Swibold, 12, won the egg hunting contest. His prize was a golden egg, along with a season pass to Coney Island and its pool. The second place prize was two tickets to the Reds season opener. Keep an eye out for some footage of that game soon! It seems only boys participated in this egg hunt. Why might that be? Nicholas Longworth III was a prominent politician from Cincinnati. He was married to Teddy Roosevelt's daughter Alice, and he served as US Speaker of the House. He died on April 9, 1931.
