Pre-plan Your Own Place to Rest In Style... Have you ever thought about where you want your final resting place to be? We oftentimes show you monuments and markers, niches in the Columbarium, and even memorial benches. As you drive through the cemetery you might wonder about the private mausoleums within the cemetery or the statues of beautiful women. If you have lived your life well, saved your money, and are not sure how to celebrate your life when it is time for you to rest, then pre- plan now. Make your own decisions. Place a grand statue on top of your gravesite like the industrial magnates of the past, choose your own location, or even decide to reside in a private mausoleum.

It was a notable event, for this was the first station, the pioneer enterprise of its kind, in this country. In tlie words of its founder, Prof. Samuel W. Johnson, its purpose was, and still is, "to put science at work for agriculture." Today we have collie together on an occasion of equal moment. The completion of this new laboratory is, of course, a matter of importance to the Board and the Staff. For the past ten years we have been living under crowded conditions tliat made scientific work extremely difficult and sometimes ineffective. Naturally we are happy in our new quarters and your presence here is evidence tliat you share in our satisfaction.

He began, in 1802, the study of law, with the late Judge Thomas S. Williams, of Hartford, then a resident of Mans- field ; but the death of his brother threw upon him the care of his father's store, and led him to relinquish his law studies. During his long life he several times represented his native town in the State Legislature, was for a period of six years Judge of Probate for the district of Mansfield, for twenty years Post Master at Mansfield Center, and for thirty-five years Justice of the Peace, holding the latter office until he reached the age of seventy years, the limit fixed by the law of the State.

  • Charles G. Dawes Archive
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Library, Evanston, Illinois 60208-2300 Charles G. Dawes Archive Biography: Charles Gates Dawes (1865-1951), prominent in U.S. politics and business, served as Comptroller of the Currency (1898-1901), director of the Military Board of Allied Supply (1918-1919), and first director of the Bureau of the Budget (1921). He received a Nobel Peace Prize as chairman of the Reparations Commission which restructured Germany's economy and devised a repayment plan (1924). He was elected Vice-President (1925- 1929), and appointed ambassador to England (1929-1931) and chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (1932). Charles and his brothers founded Dawes Brothers Incorporated. Dawes formed the Central Trust Co. in Chicago (1902), guided its successor banks, and was influential in Chicago business, politics, and philanthropy until his death. Charles Gates Dawes was born and educated in Ohio. He married Caro Blymyer in 1889, practiced law, and incorporated a real estate business in Lincoln, Nebraska, before moving to Evanston, Illinois in 1895. He acquired utility companies and real estate in northern Illinois and Wisconsin; and in 1908, with his brothers Henry, Rufus, and Beman, formed Dawes Brothers Incorporated, to invest assets in banks, oil companies and real estate throughout the country. Various acquaintances who were prominent in political and industrial affairs trusted them to manage their investments as well. Other companies in which Charles Dawes and his brothers played leading roles included Chicago's Central Trust Co. and its successor banks and Pure Oil Company of Ohio. Dawes made significant philanthropic contributions to the Chicago metropolitan community.
