Between 1833 and the time of the acquisition of the rights to Dr. Morse s Indian Root Pills, the company remained under the control of the Comstocks through the additional involvement of Edwin s brothers Lucius, Albert Lee, John Carlton and George Wells. The Indian Root Pills were first formulated and manufactured in 1854 by Andrew B. Moore , who was then operating under the name A.B. Moore in Buffalo, New York .

He was also a member of the Nesser Brothers , a group consisting of seven brothers who made up the most famous football family in the United States from 1907 until the mid 1920s. It is unknown of the extent of which Ray played with the Panhandles. While he did appear in photos advertising the Panhandles, he did not play in many games with the club. However why he played in so few games remains a mystery. According to family accounts, Ray sprained his ankle in a game one day, and they put liniment on it and put his sock and shoe back on. He went out and played with it, and when they took the sock and shoe off, the skin just came right off of his foot. While the rest of the Nessers became boilermakers for the Pennsylvania Railroad , Ray decided not to follow his brothers footsteps. Instead he became a policeman for the city of Columbus, Ohio . According to The Columbus Citizen Journal newspaper on June 6, 1927, Ray, a corporal with the Columbus Police Department, chased and shot an Angelo Furne who fled from the scene of an accident. During the chase, Furne held a hand out in front of body. Nesser fearing that he may have had gun, fired along with his partner an Officer Knight and shot Furne killing him. Both officers actions were cleared by a review panel. Raymond died on September 2, 1969 ... more details
