| 8355 | Richard T. Burrell was reared on his father's farms in Holt and Grove townships and in the acquirement of an education attended the district schools and the public schools of St. Joseph, Missouri. After putting aside his text-books he devoted his attention to general farming interests in Taylor county for a period of eight years, and now owns a tract of three hundred and thirty-three acres in Phillips county, Colorado. On retiring from the work of the fields, he edited and published the Gravity Independent at Gravity, Iowa, and subsequently studied law for three years under the preceptorship of A. D. Harris, of Gravity, and Flick & Jackson, of Bedford. On the 9th of October, 1902, in Des Moines, he was admitted to the bar before the supreme court, making an average of ninety-two per cent on all questions asked. He at once began practicing in Gravity and was prominently identified with the legal interests of that town until August, 1906, when he formed a partnership with L. T. McConn and removed (page 361) to Bedford, where he has since prosecuted his profession as a member of the firm of McConn & Burrell. The zeal with which he has devoted his energies to his profession, the careful regard evinced for the interests of his clients and an assiduous and unrelaxing attention to all the details of his cases, have brought him a large business and made him very successful in its conduct. He owns a commodious and attractive home in Bedford and has also invested to some extent in real estate in Gravity. | BURRELL, Richard T. (I410)

| 8363 | Robert Frederick Foster (1853-1945), a native of Edinburgh, Scotland and "connected with some of the best families in Great Britain" was hired to be Loisette's business manager. It is said that Loisette's classes prior to Foster's hiring never exceeded two or three hundred, Foster "secured for his introductory lectures such as he had never before addressed, and his classes suddenly increased to more than a thousand." "Loisette Exposed" published the terms of Foster's employment. Compensation was "20% of the total amount received from any class organized by Foster, after the expense of organizing the class have been deducted." The author cited as an example a 14 week period between Dec. 10, 1887 and March 14, 1888. Classes were held at Michigan University (400), Baltimore, MD (1087), Detroit, MI (1005), Philadelphia, PA (1500), and Washington D.C. (1100). " Estimating the average expense for each city at $500, we have $2,500 to deduct from $25,000, realized from 5,000 pupils at $5 each. Of this Loisette received about $18,000 and Foster $4,500, besides expenses. From this it would seem that a man must have strong reason for resigning a position that had paid him over $50 a day for more than fourteen weeks and for which he had a four years' contract. It might also be interesting to know what induced Loisette to release a man who was puttiing $1,300 a week into his pocket, which he had to travel only a few miles, and talk about four hours a week to earn." The author further states that upon meeting Foster he learned he was thoroughly ashamed of ever having any connection with Loisette. "Mr. Foster soon discovered that he himself knew a great deal more of the "marvellous" system of memory in its practical application than Loisette, who was as subject to mind-wandering and had as poor a memory as any of the mental wrecks whom he so vividly portrays as "mnemonical teachers." "Loisette Exposed" even went so far as to publish Foster's letter of resignation, written on April 25, 1888 at Baltimore, calling Loisette a humbug and a fraud. Foster later published, in 1897, "Foster's Complete Hoyle: An Encyclopedia of All the Indoor Games Played at the Present Day." It was still being updated and re-printed as late as 1953. | LARROWE, Marcus Dwight (I16391)

| 8366 | Robert Owings was a surveyor and a staunch Roman Catholic. On October 14, 1727 he received an assignment from another Roman Catholic, John Digges, for 500 acres in the disputed Conewago area around the present day Hanover, PA. There is an indication that the Maryland Roman Catholics directed their attention to the northern frontier of Maryland because of anti-Catholic feeling. John Digges of Prince George's County had, on October14, 1727, received a Maryland warrant for 10,000 acres against which he applied 6,822 acres to 'Digges Choice' in the disputed area. Owings made his colonial homestead a sacred place where Catholic services were held until the Conewago Chapel of the Sacred Heart was built in about 1740. This source also indicates that Robert Owings was born in 1692, not 1698 as the Record Footnote indicates. pages 247-249. | OWINGS, Robert (I5529)

| 8367 | Robert Wright was a member of the Old Settlers' Association by virtue of the fact he settled in Otoe County prior to January 1, 1856.

E. Thompson was chosen chairman, and N. S. Harding, secretary. A resolution was unanimously adopted declaring that only persons who settled in Otoe County prior to January 1, 1856, "and their companions, if since married," should be eligible to membership. The following officers were then elected: William B. Hail, president; Mrs. W. R. Craig, vice-president; T. E. Thompson, secretary; Mrs. Margaret Jessen, treasurer. It was also resolved. to hold the annual meetings for the election of officers and other regular business, the first week in January, and the semi-annual meeting for summer picnics during the first week in June, the officers to fix the days in each and to give four weeks' public notice of the same. The membership was fixed at one dollar for gentlemen ; lady admitted to membership free of charge. A rule was adopted to give public notice of the death of a member, and to attend the funeral of the deceased. A resolution was passed instructing the officers to procure a cane to be made from the timber of the old block house, to be presented to the president of the association, and by each one delivered to his successor from year to year. Messrs. J. W. Pearman, G. W. Sroat and Thomas Morton were appointed a committee to collect and preserve relics, reminiscences and historic records of the early days of Nebraska City and Otoe County. At the June meeting following, Dr. Campbell delivered an oration, Mrs. O. P. Mason read an original poem, W. W. W. Jones, Miss Ella Jackson and others sang "John Anderson, my Jo." A cane made from old block house wood was presented to the president, Hon. O. P. Mason, making the presentation speech. The key of the old block house was presented to the society and it was voted that a suitable inscription be carved upon it, and that it should be attached to the president's cane. The seventh annual meeting was held on the evening of January 15, 1878, was opened with prayer by Dr. Bowen. At the annual election, Mr. Frank Sim was chosen president; W. P. Birchfield. vice-president; S. D. Fitchie, secretary; A. F. Molling, treasurer. An elegant supper was served to the members at the Institution for the Blind. At the picnic meeting in June, "Auld Lang Syne" was rendered with fine effect by a quartette. The old settlers then signed their names to a record book as follows: ....Those who came in 1855, W. H. Lowe, Robert Wright...... | WRIGHT, Robert (I17550)

| 8384 | Saginaw Men In Demand Two Well Known Young Busness (sic) Men Have Been Captured for Outside Concerns Saginaw men are in demand in the outside business world, as well as a home and sometimes they feel compelled to yield to the alluring offers made them. This has happened to W. E. English and James G. Maher, two well known employes of the Barie Dry Goods company, who will sever relations with that concern to enter upon careers elsewhere about the beginning of the new year. Mr. English, who has been in charge of a department in the Saginaw house, will go to the Taylor Carpet company, Indianapolis, and will be in charge of drapery, furnishing and contract decorating department of that firm, which is considered a splendid opportunity. Mr. Mahar (sic), who has been for some years in the whole sale department of the Saginaw firm, and also secretary to William Barie, junior, will take up a similar line of work in the wholesale Krolich house at Detroit. Both men regret for personal reasons that they are leaving Saginaw, but they could not afford to decline the opportunities offered them for advancement financially and otherwise. | MAHER, James Gervais (I112)

| 8393 | Samuel applied for a Revolutinary War pension, but the application was rejected because he served less than six months. In a deposition in his Pension Application file R2142, Samuel stated "he was born in North Hundred, Baltimore County, in the State of Maryland, on the 20th day of September 1762" and the only person who could testify to his military service was his brother, Ezekiel Cole. That statement definitely links Samuel to Ezekiel and verifies that Samuel, too, was a son of Christopher. There is a Power of Attorney form in the file that was executed by Thomas Cole, son of Samuel, on 11/21/1853. The form states Samuel died on February 13, 1842 in Harrison County, Ohio and he left surviving, "Thomas; Elijah; Meshac; Charly; Betsy Wright, a widow; Julianne Cole; the living children of Teresa, deceased, intermarried with Luke Tipton; Sarah, intermarried with John Barrett; and Sarah, his widow, died in the month of March 1842." | COLE, Samuel (I833)
