Meat man Pynchon

[Paul Mackin]

Browsing the New Yorker files I  found something I didn't know.

The city of Springfield, Massachusetts, has honored its leading  
founder, William Pynchon, by naming a handsome history museum after  
him and in many other ways, but, though everybdy pays tribute  to him  
as a pioneer settler in the Agawam country, the fact he was the   
father of the meatpacking industry is always politely overlooked.

from a March 27, 1948,  New Yorker profile about another meatpacker,   
Henry Blackman Sell. p.32

Any relation, Otto?
