Among the most notable residents of M. M. Brown's Mayfield Heights allotment was Ezra F. Kendall. Born on a farm in New York, Kendall became a famed actor, comedian, and playwright. Well known on the Vaudeville circuit, Kendall reached the height of his popularity with "A Pair of Kids," a farce comedy in which he starred in the 1880s-90s. Kendall moved to Cleveland in 1906 and purchased a large 12-room residence in the Mayfield Heights allotment, where he lived when he wasn't performing all over the country. Kendall reportedly died of "apoplexy" in 1910 at an Indiana sanitarium where he had sought to recover his health. | Source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs DivisionDownload Original File
