The Eagle Diamond: The Mysterious Origins and Fate of the Most Famous Dihexagon in the World

Louis B. Endlich (Tue., Jun 8, 1858-Sat., Jan. 7, 1893; https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/104181630/louis-b-endlich) discovered the glacial-drift diamond as a 28-year-old farmer plowing his father's farm.

The year 1886 gives the discovery date even as the year 1888 gives the introduction date of the glacial-drift gem to the world outside Endlich family and friends.

That year the Widow Endlich located briefly from Kewaskum Township, Washington County, southeast Wisconsin to let Colonel Frank Alonzo Boynton (Fri., May 24, 1867-Fri., Feb. 21, 1941), as jeweler living in Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, look at it.

The Theresa Diamond also goes by the name the Kohlsville Diamond.

The alternate moniker heralds from the Wisconsin gem housing in a glacial drift not only near the town Theresa but also near the town Kohlsville, also in Washington County, Wisconsin.

The Taubman Museum also contains within its permanent collection Annette Nancarrow's Self-Portrait.
