Life edit

He was born on September 23, 1876, in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. Disbrow came from a wealthy family.[1]

He was indicted for the 1902 murders of Sarah "Dimples" Lawrence and Clarence Foster in Good Ground, but found not guilty at trial in 1903. He was then hired by a neighbouring family as a chauffeur mechanic for Joan Newton Cuneo, an early US woman racing driver.[1]

Disbrow raced in the first four Indianapolis 500s, with a best finish of 8th in 1913, and also in the 1910, 1911, and 1915 American Grand Prizes.[2] He died on July 9, 1939, at his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[3]
