| 411 | From Bigelow (1968): "The second Justice Nathaniel Brewster, whose father lived in Fireplace, established his plantation in the eastern part of Bellport.

| 412 | From Edna Valentine: "The story my aunt told me of her (her aunt) was that at 14, with her hair in pigtails and short dresses, she packed her valise and crawled out of the window and married Charley Cooke of Yaphank and ran away to sea with him. He 'followed the sea' and Sal stayed at home in Brookhaven with her daugher Cecille and I have her diary of that time. Her two chief amusements seem to have been singing school and washing clothes! I wish I had known 'Sal' for she seems a person with an immense zest for life and though she couldn't spell (married at 14) she managed to put that spirit into the old diary. She certainly followed Charles Cook about for my grandmother went with them to to Galveston, when Charles was in the Customs there at the time of the Civil war. My grandmother, Martha Matthews Barteau is buried in Galveston." | Barteau, Sarah Maria ^ (I763)

| 432 | From the U.S. Department of Treasury Web Site: Henry Morgenthau, Jr., was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to be the 52nd Secretary of the Treasury. He served from January 1 , 1934 until July 22, 1945. In 1913, he purchased a large farm in Dutchess County, New York and specialized and dairy and apple growing. During World War I, he worked with Herbert Hoover's U.S. Farm Administration on a plan to send tractors to France. From 1922 to 1933, he served as Publisher of "American Agriculturalist." In 1929, his long-time friend and then Governor of New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt, appointed him Chairman of the New York State Agricultural Advisory Commission. In 1930, he was appointed State Commissioner of Conservation, and directed a million-acre reforestation program. He also was appointed to the Taconic State Park Commission. Upon Roosevelt's election to the Presidency, Morgenthau was appointed Chairman of the Federal Farm Board and Governor of the Farm Credit Administration in 1933. On November 17, 1933, he was appointed Acting and Under Secretary of the Treasury, when Secretary of the Treasury William H. Woodin's ill health forced his resignation after the first year of Roosevelt's "New Deal" Administration. Morgenthau served as Roosevelt's advisor, Cabinet member, and Secretary of the Treasury for 11 years, in peace and war. During his term, Morgenthau is credited with exercising a stabilizing effect on administation monetary policies. In that time, through taxation and loans he raised $450 billion for government programs and for war purposes. This was more than all of the previous 51 Secretaries. From 1934 through December 7, 1941, Morgenthau defended the dollar against devaluation by other competitive nations. This was accomplished by intervening in the world financial markets through buying and selling foreign currencies, gold and dollars. Protecting the dollar against the depredations of Nazi Germany which was using blocked currencies to produce anarchy in the foreign exchange markets, Morgenthau succeeded until after the Munich Pact of 1938, when a stabilization agreement was reached. As a result, the United States dollar became the strongest currency in the world. In 1939, with Poland overtaken by Germany, Morgenthau established a procurement service in the Treasury Department to facilitate the purchase of American munitions by Britain and France, and he geared the American economy to meet the enormously expanded requirements that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor. Morgenthau's major effort was financing the war effort, and he achieved remarkable success with his program for the sale of defense bonds (later known as war bonds). In 1942 alone, sale of these savings bonds amounted to a $1 billion distribution, which not only supported the war needs, but also prevented a serious inflationary threat by syphoning off excess funds. In 1944, he proposed the Morgenthau plan, under which post-war Germany would be stripped of its industry and converted into an agricultural nation. At the Bretton Woods conference in 1944, Morgenthau assumed a leading role in establishing post-war economic policies and currency stabilization. That had been one of his prime goals since depression days. In July 1945, three months after the death of President Roosevelt, Morgenthau resigned as Secretary, but remained in office until President Truman's return from the "Big Three" conference in Berlin. From 1947 until 1950, he was Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, which raised $465 million during that time, and from 1951 to 1954, he served as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the American Financial and Development Corporation for Israel, which handled a $500 million bond issue for the new nation. Mr. Morgenthau was born on May 11, 1891, in New York city. He was the son of Henry and Josephine (Sykes) Morgenthau. He attended private schools including Exeter Academy. He studied architecture and agriculture for two years at Cornell University. He married Elinor Fatman in 1916. They had three children. Two years after her death in 1949, he married Mrs. Marcelle Puthon Hirsch of New York. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., died on February 6 , 1967, in Poughkeepsie, New York. | Morgenthau, Henry Jr. (I6872)

| 433 | From: INDIANA AND INDIANANS A HISTORY OF ABORIGINAL AND TERRITORIAL INDIANA AND THE CENTURY OF STATEHOOD 1919. Available from Google Books ALFRED HARRISON was one of the earliest merchants of Indianapolis, and as his life was prolonged until 1891 many present day citizens recall the achievements and characteristics which made him notable. He was born in Sparta, Tennessee, in 1801, of Virginia parentage. Little is known of his boyhood days, but evidently they were an index to his subsequent career. He possessed a rather superior education for men who grew up in that time and under such circumstances. Apart from the business position which he long enjoyed he moved as a man of distinction in society because of his precise and methodical habits, his immaculate dress, his Chesterfieldeau deportment. Coming to Indiana when a boy, he worked as a clerk for a Mr. Gallion at Brookville. In 1821 he came to Indianapolis, practically at the foundation of the city, and was clerk in the store of John Conner. Later he engaged in merchandising for himself, his store being at what is now the northwest corner of Washington and Meridian streets. Still later he was in the banking business. He was a true picture of the gentleman of the old school, courteous, and clung tenaciously to all old traditions and customs. The only office he ever held was that of city forester. This was an office in name only, and was probably bestowed upon him because of his great love of trees and the outdoors. He contributed much to the early landscape gardening of Indianapolis. A man who plants a tree and makes it grow is entitled to the lasting gratitude of mankind, and Alfred Harrison on his own initiative and through the temporary vitality he gave to his office planted trees everywhere about the small town of Indianapolis. In a short time the small fund allotted for the purpose was exhausted, and it is said that he was removed from office because of this extravagance. Many of the trees planted by his hands are still standing and have furnished shade for two generations of Indianapolis citizens. Alfred Harrison has been described as almost painful in his neatness. He was a handsome man, his physical attractiveness being enhanced by an immaculate dress. It is related how a lady once appeared at his door, rang the bell, and when answered by the owner said "Mr. Harrison, in passing I saw a leaf upon your lawn." This may be an exaggeration but it was one of many such stories that grew up around this quaint and interesting personality. The fact to remember is that these eccentricities were only the minor features of a really big, strong and kindly character. Alfred Harrison married Caroline Hanson. They had a large family of children. His son James Henry Harrison is now survived by two sons, Edward H. and Hugh H. Harrison. There are also numerous other grandchildren. | Harrison, Alfred Moses (I8407)

| 434 | From: INDIANA AND INDIANANS A HISTORY OF ABORIGINAL AND TERRITORIAL INDIANA AND THE CENTURY OF STATEHOOD 1919. Available from Google Books MRS. SARAH HANSON, a widow with five daughters, came to Indianapolis in the winter of 1826, establishing a home on what is now "The Circle," at the present site of the English Block. The Hanson family were from Bourbon County, Kentucky. Both mother and daughters were noted for their physical beauty, strength of character and many accomplishments. These daughters played a notable role in the social life of Indianapolis. One of them, Caroline, married Alfred Harrison on April 1, 1827, and died in 1862 from overwork while aiding the cause of the Union in the Civil war. The oldest daughter, Pamela, never married. Mahala married Edward R. Ames, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Maria married first Dr. Kenneth Scudder and second Dr. Charles McDougall, one of the noted families of America. Julia became the wife of John Finley, an early Indiana poet, author of the "Hoosier's Nest," whose biography is found on other pages of this publication. | Callis, Sarah > (I8416)

| 440 | Geoffrey K. Fleming, Director, Southold Historical Society, Southold, NY comments: "Frederick Kost's sister, Anna "Minna" Kost (1864-1951), lived in Brookhaven with her brother from a very early date. She survived him and served as executrix of his estate. Anna lived in Brookhaven until the 1940's when she moved back to Staten Island where she died in 1951. She donated an important painting by Frederick Carl Frieske (which may have originally belonged to her brother) to the Brooklyn Museum." Anna (Minna) was active in the civic affairs of the Brookhaven community, including the Brookhaven Village Improvement Association and the Brookhaven Literary Club. She was a welfare worker for many years. The New York Times obituary indicated that she was survived by "two cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kaufman." Local residents indicate that Mrs. Kaufman was her sister. This then may have been Emma. It was said she operated a guest house. | Kost, Anna ^ (I7611)
