| 79770 | Richard S. Hall, one of Omaha's most prominent attorneys, died at his home, 3224 Farnam street, Sunday afternoon at 12:40. His illness, which was caused by acute kidney trouble, had been serious for three weeks and he took a sudden turn for the worse Sunday morning. His family, which included the widow, Mrs. Florence W. Hall; Richard Ware, 22, a senior at Yale; Dorothy, 19; Janet, 17, and Jasper 9, were with him at his death. His mother, Mrs. S. D. Bangs of Omaha, 88 years of age, and his stepfather, S. D. Bangs, were also present. The funeral will be held from Trinity cathedral Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, with interment at Forest Lawn cemetery. Mr. Hall was attracted to the law by reason of his father having been an eminent lawyer and judge, who was appointed chief justice of the territory of Nebraska by President Buchanan in 1858. The family came to Bellevue that year. Richard S. Hall was born in Batavia, N. Y., being a boy of 3 years at the time of his removal to this state. Mr. Hall attended Talbot hall and Nebraska college and then went to Washington university of St. Louis, where he studied law, receiving his degree in 1877. He returned home to Omaha from St. Louis, was at once admitted to the bar and formed the firm of Estabrook & Hall. Two years later Mr. Hall and former Senator John M. Thurston became partners, the firm continuing until Mr. Thurston became general solicitor of the Union Pacific in 1888. Then Mr. Hall headed the firm of Hall, McCulloch & English, later Hall & McCulloch. Mr. McCulloch went to California to reside in 1906 and the firm of Hall & Stout was formed, which has continued to the present day. Mr. Hall's career as a lawyer has been among the very first in Nebraska. He was retained in the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line cases representing the first Union Pacific Railroad company bondholders in a suit involving $80,000,000. In recent time Mr. Hall represented the Omaha Water company in protracted litigation involving the sale of the plant to the city of Omaha and won a big victory for his client. In politics Mr. Hall took little interest so far as being a candidate himself was concerned, a single exception being a candidacy some years ago for the state senate. He served some time on the Board of Education. Outside of the law and his home life Mr. Hall's chief interest was the Protestant Episcopal church, and for the diocese of Nebraska and Trinity cathedral parish he was all his life an earnest worker, serving as chancellor of the diocese and as a vestryman of the parish. Mr. Hall was married in 1885 to Miss Florence W. Ware, daughter of the late J. A. Ware of Nebraska City. Mr. Hall's fatal illness brought to this city his former partner, J. H. McCulloch of California. The two men were partners and the most intimate of friends from 1888 until 1906. | Hall, Richard Smith (I13723)

He attended Alameda High School and graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a B.S. degree in physics in 1942 and subsequently obtained his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech in 1948. In the midst of his studies, Bob worked for Lockheed Aircraft (1940-1941) and General Electric, Schenectady (1942-1946) as a test engineer.

In 1962, Bob invented the semiconductor injection laser. His laser had many applications familiar to us all including compact disc players, laser printers, and optical fiber communications. Next, during the 1970s, Dr. Hall worked on photovoltaics and solar cells. Over the course of his career he was awarded 43 U.S. patents. Bob was a fellow of the American Physical Society and a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

His interests included hiking, sailing, travel with his family, both square and folk dancing and the company of his dog, Katie. Throughout his life he dedicated himself to taking great care of his family, most especially his wife as her health declined. Bob was a member of Faith United Methodist Church.

Reynolds and Katie P. Reynolds of Raleigh, N.C.; many grand and great grand nieces and nephews; and his faithful Border Collie Trinike. A graduate of the University of Maine Orono, Bob studied forestry and cartography there, as well as participating in what would be life-long avocations of baseball and rifle marksmanship. After college, he worked for Babson Institute, creating a 35x60 foot relief map of the United States. During WW II, he enlisted in the Army, becoming part of the Corps of Engineers Model Making Detachment making scale models of enemy targets, such as Ploesti, Tirpitz, Ruhr River dams, Peenemunde, as well as allied troop landing sites in North Africa and Normandy. By the end of the war he was a Master Sergeant and had earned the Bronze Star, British Empire Medal, and the French Croix de Guerre. Bob then went to work for the Army Map Service in Washington, DC, where he met his wife, a map proofreader at the US Geological Survey. They soon moved to Ruth's native Worcester, MA, where he went into business with his father-in-law at Teckla Garment Company, later becoming the owner. He moved his family and the company to Asheville, NC, in 1968. In sharing daughter Edie's avocation of rifle marksmanship, he joined Asheville Rifle and Pistol Club, later serving as President as well as supporting the junior program and running rifle tournaments. As Executive Officer of the Black Hawk Rifle Club, he ran the club's annual match, hosted by AR&PC, for over 20 years. He was known nationwide for well-run tournaments, hand-printed results bulletins, and the white shirt and tie worn even when he was shooting or mowing the range. A gentleman in the true sense of the word, he always had a kind word and a smile for everyone, and a wry sense of humor. The family deeply appreciates the wonderful caregivers from Mountain Home Care, the nurses from CarePartners, and neighbors who allowed him to fulfill his desire to stay in his own home until his last day. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, May 27th, 5:30 p.m. at the Asheville Rifle and Pistol Club. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The NRA Foundation's Competitive Shooting and National Championships Endowment (11250 Waples Mill Rd., Fairfax, VA 22030) or to the Brown Ledge Foundation (25 Wilson St., Burlington, VT 05401). | Plimpton, Robert Hall (I97787)

| 79793 | Robert Stedman had a long and active career in both New England and California. According to his son Byron, who recorded much of the biographical data which follows, Robert began working as a paper maker, millwright, and carpenter, serving an apprenticeship of seven years. As can be seen from the list of children, the first four were born 1833-1841, considerably earlier that Robert's departure for the West, in 1849. Also it will be notices that Robert and Elvira apparently moved about rather frequently, as Lawrence was born in 1833 in Otis; Julia Ann in 1836 in Blandford; Stephen in 1838 in New Marlborough; and Robert, Jr. in 1841 in Lee (or South Lee). Byron, the fifth child, was born in 1851 in Lee after his father's return from the first gold rush trip. All of these locations are within a comparatively small area in southwestern Massachusetts. In addition to the trades mentioned above, Robert, before going tot he gold diggings, furnished teams for drawing charcoal from Otis and other nearby places to Lenox Furnace (now Lenoxdale). He had three teams, two of which were driven by his sons Stephen and Lawrence. His son Robert was too young to drive, so he brought water for the horses. On the road to the charcoal pits, Lawrence and Stephen would start at two o'clock in the morning, sleeping in their wagons as the teams followed each other. Robert determined to seek his fortune in California and went by steamer, via Panama, in 1849. On this trip he was in the company with several other men from the vicinity of Lee and Stockbridge. Arriving on the Pacific Coat, Robert operated placer diggings at Marysville on the American River. He was not especially successful and came home via Panama about the latter part of 1850. He is recorded in 1850 Federal Census in Lee, Massachusetts, on 19 August 1850 with his family and his parents. He then built and operated the El Dorado Hotel, at Lenox Furnace (Lenoxdale). Here he boarded the glass blowers from the Lenox Glass Works. Byron Stedman was born on November 13, 1851. This was after his father's return from the first trip to California, but evidently before the completion of the El Dorado Hotel. Byron stated that he was born "on Bradley Street" and "by the brook". Bradley Street in Lee was so called because various families of that name lived along the road. It is between Lee and Lenoxdale on Stedman's Brook and in the general locality of the monument marking the site of the early schoolhouse. Presumably, when the El Dorado was completed, Robert and Elvira went there to live. Robert returned to California about 1854, taking his sixteen-year-old son Stephen with him. They went via Panama, and, during the voyage while crossing the Gulf of Georgia, they ran into a storm. Stephen was washed overboard. They searched all night for him and found him at daybreak with both arms locked around the roots of a tree trunk that had been washed into the sea. Stephen had on his father's outer coat as he was cold and when in the water he discarded the coat and other clothing, as he was an expert swimmer. His father had important papers and family pictures in the pocket of the coat that were lost. When he was found, he was unconscious but had his arms locked about the tree roots in such a way that they had become locked. Bertha can remember hearing her father tell of the beautifully colored birds (parrots and parakeets) talking and chattering on the trees when they came over the Isthmus of Panama by mule back. (There is a long interesting account of travel to California via Panama in 1853 that was published in the New York Herald Tribune on Saturday, June 19, 1937. A clipping of the article is included in the Berkshire Athenaeum manuscript but it was too fragile to copy.) A summary is that the method of travel across the Isthmus of Panama in those days was sketchy at best. The French government was engaged in trying to build a canal from the Atlantic side to the Pacific side of Panama. They had built a crude railroad part way that Robert and Stephen took as far as it went. They then resorted to mule back riding or on foot. It was a wild jungle, and Stephen was intrigued by the chatter of monkeys, parrots, and the black natives dressed only in a breechcloth. Sailing vessels plied between San Francisco and Panama to connect with passengers brought down by ship on the Atlantic side. This saved months that would have been spent coming around Cape Horn. Traveling by ship was slow in those days as they were at all times at the mercy of the wind. Speed, if the wind was favorable, and lack of it sometimes added weeks enroute. They landed in San Francisco on 5 January 1855 and went immediately to the gold fields at Marysville. Again they were not especially successful. Then came the excitement of the Frazer River gold discovery in British Columbia. Robert and his son were in a party of eighty who started overland, by foot, to reach the new diggings from Marysville. Only twenty of them survived the journey, the others perished from Indian attacks and hardships on the way. Neither father nor son was injured, but Stephen killed one Indian. They operated a mine in Caribou, British Columbia, in the summers. In winter they went down to Vancouver Island and made shingles by hand, also hunting deer for the market. They sold their shingles and venison in Victoria. After doing this for several years without getting ahead, they sold the claim to an English firm who went a little deeper and struck it rich. It should be noted that after leaving Lenox Furnace about 1854 for his return to California, Robert Stedman put the El Dorado Hotel under the management of his son-in-law, Leroy S. Kellogg. The latter continued in charge for a few years, during which Robert's wife Elvira lived there. Afterwards she lived with her father until her death in 1858 (or 1860). It was apparently sometime in the 1860s that Robert Stedman moved south from British Columbia to Marin County, California. Here in the redwoods, on White's Ranch, which was an old Spanish grant, seven miles square, he built his own cabin and lived alone until visited by his son Stephen in the summer of 1869. The community is known as Lagunitas, and in Robert's day was marked by the fact that the Pacific Powder Mills were just below his home. Robert operated for himself, producing shingles, shakes and pickets for the neighboring ranchmen, who were all dairymen. The standard dimensions for shingles was 4" x 16"; shakes 6" x 36"; pickets 2" x 72". In the fall of 1869 Robert found it necessary to rebuild his old cabin into a house, for Stephen returned from a quick trip to the East, bringing his bride Lucy Jane (Hall) Stedman. Also came Byron Stedman, now grown to young manhood. In converting the old cabin into a house for his augmented family, they used studs and shakes made from a single redwood tree, from which Robert, Stephen, anf Byron together cut 100,000 shingles by hand. The bark from this same tree built tow or three bridges. The tree was eight feet in diameter and Byron Stedman recalled that, in addition to the finished lumber, a number of cords of wood were cut from the top. In reviewing the scene fifty years later, Byron Stedman - then living in Mechanicville, New York - recalled that in front of the Lagunitas home was the stump of another tree that Robert had previously cut down. A party from San Fransisco used this stump, nine feet across and about eight feet high, as a dancing floor for a quadrille. When, in 1919, Julia Ann Sturtevant, Robert's granddaughter, sent a photograph of this latter stump to Byron Stedman, the latter recognized it as practically unchanged. The home at Lagunitas continued until 1874, with Robert living with his son Stephen and his wife and babies, together with Byron, who made it his headquarters when he was not busy with jobs on neighboring ranches. Then came word that Julia Ann (Stedman) Kellogg, daughter of Robert, was ill at South Lee, Massachusetts, and not expected to live.. So on January 7, 1874, Byron started from San Francisco for the East, where he remained. Stephen and family stayed in California, as did Robert until his accidental death in the spring of 1875. One of the Marin County papers had this article in their March 20, 1875 edition. It showed that up until his death on April 19, 1875, Robert Stedman had been a hail and hearty old man. "Nicasio, March 20, 1875 "Uncle Bob Steadman was the champion Irish jigger at Nicasio Monday night. Uncle Bobby's locks have waved some seventy odd summers, but he is still young in spirit and heels." Both Robert and his son Stephen were wonderful jiggers. They were both said to be as light as a feather on their feet. Death of Robert Stedman: (from Bertha Stedman Rothwell) "Robert Stedman was driving with his son Stephen Stedman home to Lagunitas from a trip to San Rafael on April 19, 1875. While passing over the crest of White's Hill there was a Chinese rice sack lying in the road. As they neared it, the wind caught the sack and raised it in the air. The horse Stephen was driving was a very high-spirited animal and before he could control her, she shied and bolted over the steep embankment some fifty feet below, taking wagon and occupants with her. Grandfather's back was broken, and he told father that he was dying. Father wanted to go for help, and he asked him to remain with him as he was dying. He died in a few minutes in father's arms, this closing a long and colorful career. "He was first buried in the cemetery in San Rafael. Years after, the town wishing for a high school, condemned the cemetery and father had his grandfather removed to Mt. Tampalias cemetery, three miles out of San Rafael. Stephen was also buried with his father in 1901, but later in Mrs. Stedman's life, when the trip was too hard for her to make, she bought a family plot in Cypress Lawn Cemetery, San Mateo County, and had both her husband few remaining bones and his father removed to Cypress lawn. My mother and the nephew killed in France are also buried in this plot. The headstone covering the family plot has the following names inscribed on it: Robert Stedman Sturtevant - Robert Stedman - Stephen Stedman - Lucy Jane Stedman." | Stedman, Robert (I7897)

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1972. _________ US Senator. A member of the Republican Party and a conservative, he served as a representative from the state of Ohio in the US Senate from 1939 until his death in 1953 and was regarded by historians as one of the most powerful US Senators of the 20th century. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio he was the oldest son of William Howard Taft, the 27th US President and later a US Supreme Court Justice. He spent four years in the Philippines as a young boy where his father served as governor from 1901 to 1904. In 1910 he graduated from Yale College at New Haven, Connecticut and from Harvard Law School in 1913. After passing the Ohio bar exam he practiced for four years with the firm of Maxwell and Ramsey (now Graydon Head & Ritchey LLP) in Cincinnati, Ohio. When the US entered World War I in April 1917, he attempted to join the US Army, but he was rejected due to his poor eyesight. In 1918 he worked for the Food and Drug Administration in Washington DC and was in Paris, France as legal advisor for the American Relief Administration. In 1920 he returned to Cincinnati to open his own law office and that year he was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives and served as Speaker of the House in 1926. Elected to the Ohio State Senate in 1930, he was defeated for re-election in 1932, the only defeat in a general election of his political career. In 1938 he ran for the US Senate and defeated the Democratic incumbent Robert Bulkley. He led the Conservative Coalition that opposed President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, citing the inefficiency and waste of many of its programs, but he did fully support public housing and the Social Security programs. A staunch non-interventionist, he believed the US should avoid any involvement in European or Asian wars and concentrate instead on solving its domestic problems. Although he fully supported the American war effort after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and the declaration of war on Japan by the US Congress, he continued to harbor a deep suspicion of American involvement in postwar military alliances with other nations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). He was one of the few voices during World War II in opposition to Japanese American internment. In 1944 he came within 18,000 votes of losing his re-election bid to Democrat William G. Pickrel. He condemned the post World War II Nuremberg Trials as victor's justice under ex post facto laws and his opposition to the trials was strongly criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike and is sometimes alleged as a main reason for his failure to secure the Republican nomination for president. When the Republicans took control of Congress in 1947, he focused on labor-management relations as Chair of the Senate Labor Committee and wrote the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, which remains the basic labor law. It was vetoed by President Harry S. Truman but Taft convinced both houses of Congress to override the veto. In 1948 he made a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, but was defeated by his arch-rival, Governor Thomas Dewey. In 1949 he engineered the passage of the National Housing Act, one of the few Fair Deal proposals of President Truman that he supported. He supported the Truman Doctrine, reluctantly approved the Marshall Plan, and opposed NATO as unnecessary and provocative to the Soviet Union. He took the lead among Republicans in condemning President Truman's handling of the Korean War, questioning the constitutionality of the war itself. In 1950 he won a third term to the US Senate, easily defeating his Democratic opponent Joseph Ferguson. In 1952 he sought the Republican presidential nomination again but when the party's moderates convinced US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower to run, he lost out in a close and bitter contest. In 1953, following Eisenhower's election, he served as the Senate Majority Leader and in May of that year he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that had spread throughout his body. He died in New York City, New York two months later from a brain hemorrhage at the age of 63. A memorial statue in his honor is located north of the US Capitol in Washington DC, on Constitution Avenue. His law firm, Taft, Stettinius, and Hollister, which he opened in 1924 with his brother Charles, continues to bear his name today. (bio by: William Bjornstad) | Taft, U. S.
