Biographical data |
Name: Driver, Philip Brognard |
Born: 24 June 1879 |
Died: 22 Aug. 1956 |
|
Notes: |
Gaige (Chess Tournament Crosstables) has 'Driver, P.C.' at Philadelphia 1904-1905 and 'Driver, B.P.' at Philadelphia 1911. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of 5 May 1932 (p.28) has 'S.P. Driver'. I presume these are all meant to be Philip Brognard Driver. |
