| Biographical data |
| Name: Litzenberger, William L. |
| Born: |
| Died: |
| |
| Notes: |
| The New York Daily Tribune of 4 Aug. 1895 has 'William Litzenberger' twice and 'W. Leitzenberzen' once. Hilbert and Lahde have 'William J. Litzenberger', but the American Chess Magazine of Apr.-May 1898 (p.629) has 'William L. Litzenberger'. This suggests that the 'L. Litzenberger, of Staten Island' who appears in Hilbert's biography of Napier (p.9) is the same person. The Brooklyn Standard Union of 23 Feb. 1895 (p.7) has 'E. Litzenberger'. I am guessing that this is an error, but it could be a different player. |
