Grid coordinates: References: This solder’s records appear to attribute the same service events to two names. More research is needed. “Military Funeral for War Hero.” Ontario County Journal. May 12, 1922. p. 5. This news article gives detailed information about the funeral services for Allen once his body had been returned from France after the war. It tells of the funeral cortege from his N. Main St. home to the cemetery and names those participating. It relates that Allen was a National Guard soldier who originally joined the 74th Reg. in Buffalo and was later transferred to the 108th Reg. before going over to France in May 1918. He was killed by the concussion from a bursting German mortar round in Aug. 1918 and was originally buried in Abeele, Belgium. Huber Willer, who helped rebury Allen in Canandaigua had been part of the original burial party that buried him in Belgium. He is referred to simply as Arthur Allen in the article. “War Hero is Buried.” Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. May 10, 1922. p. 17. News article recounts the events of Alen’s burial in Canandaigua with the same facts as the Journal article. This article, however, says that Allen was the last Canandaigua soldier to be returned for burial in Canandaigua. “Soldier’s Body Shipped.” Buffalo Enquirer. May 6 1922. p. 9. Brief news article reports that “the body of Corp. Charles Arthur Allen, a former resident of Canandaigua” was expected to June 13, 2019 Page 4 arrive in Canandaigua that day. It recaps the death of the soldier on Aug. 9, 1918 in Flanders, Belgium. The article in a Buffalo newspaper ties Allen’s story to that of Charles A. Snyder. Allen, Charles A. (Snyder).

  • Law and the Healthcare Crisis: the Impact of Medical
    LAW AND THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS: THE IMPACT OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND PAYMENT SYSTEMS ON PHYSICIAN COMPENSATION AND WORKLOAD AS ANTECEDENTS OF PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES – ANALYSIS, IMPLICATIONS, AND REFORM SOLUTIONS John W. Hill† Angela N. Aneiros†† Paul Rayford Hogan††† ABSTRACT The U.S. faces a healthcare crisis of monumental proportions with myriad facets including issues of access, quality, and affordability. Medical malpractice liability is often alleged to play a role in this crisis through its impact on physician compensation and shortages. This study goes beyond the rhetorical arguments in exposing the root causes of the crisis to be the structure of healthcare delivery and physician compensation systems, in part using pooled data we develop. These systems greatly increase the cost of healthcare, lead to far too many medical errors, and skew the distribution of physicians across specialties, in part because the current compensation † John W.

  • Portland, Maine, 1722-2004 Including Fort Preble
    THE HISTORY OF WEATHER OBSERVING IN PORTLAND, MAINE, 1722-2004 INCLUDING FORT PREBLE From author’s personal collection of post cards January 21, 2005 Prepared by: Stephen R. Doty Information Manufacturing Corporation Rocket Center, West Virginia This report was prepared for the Midwestern Regional Climate Center under the auspices of the Climate Database Modernization Program, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina Executive Summary Weather observations in Portland began as early as 1722 by Reverend Thomas Smith and Reverend Samuel Deane, Pastors of the First Church in Portland. Their observations continued until 1787. Some 30 years later, in 1816, Lemuel Moody, followed by his son Enoch, began recording the weather at their Portland Observatory. These observations continued until 1852. During the early 1850’s Charles B. Merrill also recorded the weather in his diary. The first Smithsonian Observer in Portland was Henry Willis who began observing in 1855. John W. Adams followed in 1859, continuing his efforts until 1861. No records have been found for the civil war years. In 1871 the United States Army Signal Service opened its weather observatory in downtown Portland. The location moved in 1873, in 1874, and again in 1885. The United States Weather Bureau assumed the duties in 1891 and they continued at the downtown location until December 1940. Meanwhile, the Weather Bureau opened an office at the new Portland airport in 1934, moved to the Administration Building in 1940, and moved to a new site on the airport grounds in 1988. The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) was commissioned at the airport in August 1994 and continues to be used to this day.
