Ricy Howell Jones (1856-1935)

Portrait from the History of the Bench and Bar of Utah, 1913.

  As April draws to a close we journey to Utah to examine the life of Ricy Howell Jones, a descendent of Utah pioneers who practiced law for nearly five decades. A resident of Box Elder County for many years, Jones served as Box Elder county attorney on multiple occasions and later held a seat in the Utah Territorial House of Representatives for one term in the late 1880s. Born of Welsh descent in Utah on May 10, 1856, Ricy Howell Jones was the son of Ricy Davis and Ann (Howell) Jones.

  Jones was a student in the common schools of the territory and from 1876-77 studied at the University of Utah. Deciding on a career in law, Jones relocated to Ogden to study law in the offices of Richards and Williams. After being admitted to practice he established his practice in Brigham City, where he continued his profession for nearly four decades. Jones married his first wife Mamie Houtz (1857-1883) in 1882, and in the year following his marriage suffered the death of his wife, who died two days after giving birth to a son, Ricy Houtz Jones, who died in infancy. Four years later he remarried to Fredricka Maria Widerborg (1864-1946), who survived him upon his death in 1935. The couple had six children.

  Born into a Mormon family, Jones was baptized into the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1864, and in 1884 was called to his first mission.  He would preside over the Welsh Conference in the United Kingdom for two years, his mission concluding in June 1886. Before his travels in England Jones had entered the political life of Utah with his election as County Attorney of Box Elder County, serving from 1883-84. Following his return stateside he was again elected to that post, serving consecutive terms from 1886-91.

  Ricy H. Jones' highest degree of political prominence came in 1887 with his election to the Utah Territorial House of Representatives. His one term (1888-90) saw him named to the committees on the Judiciary, Private Corporations, Public Health, Public Printing, and Ways and Means, and in February 1888 "petitioned for the appropriation of $3,000" to be used to better the road systems in his county.

  After his one legislative term, Jones continued to reside and practice law in Box Elder County, where he was a member of the Brigham City Commerical Club. Around 1920 he and his wife relocated to Salt Lake City, where they resided until Ricy's death on June 21, 1935, at age 79. Fredericka Jones survived her husband by thirteen years and following her death in 1948 was interred alongside him at the Brigham City Cemetery.

Prelate Demick Barker (1835-1928), Prelet Drake Conant (1822-1900)

From the Memorial Record of Alabama, Vol. II, 1893.

   Although a native of New England, Prelate Demick Barker found his political and business fortunes in Alabama, where he first settled in 1857. Barker's long residency in the "Heart of Dixie" saw him become one of  Mobile's most honored sons, being appointed as Collector of Internal Revenue for his state and in 1890  entered into a two-decade-long tenure as U.S. Postmaster at Mobile. On the national political scene, Barker served eight years as a member of the Republican National Committee from Alabama and was an eight-time delegate from Alabama to the Republican National Convention.

  Born on September 29, 1835, Prelate Demick Barker's birth occurred (depending on the source) in either North Branford, Connecticut, or New York City. The son of John Brooks Barker (a ship captain) and the former Frances J. Appell, Barker's first name is a misnomer, as "prelate" is actually a title given to a high ranking clergyman, such as a bishop or cardinal. While this name is certainly unusual, research has shown Barker received his name in honor of Prelate Demick (1801-1885), a resident of New Haven, Connecticut. A beloved schoolmaster in his region, Demick was also the first U.S. Postmaster at North Branford and for a time served as Grand Master for the state Odd Fellows Lodge of Connecticut.

  Barker's formative years were spent in New Haven, Connecticut, where he attended the common schools and later was a student at the Stratford Academy. At age seventeen Barker left his native state for New York City, where he pursued a career in law. Studying in the office of Harris Wilson, Barker left that city after two years and briefly resided in Illinois and Wisconsin. 

  In 1857 Barker resettled in Alabama, and after establishing roots in Claiborne County took employment with the mercantile firm of McClure and Thames. At the dawn of the Civil War Barker (despite being from the North) cast his lot with the Confederacy, being named an assistant to post quartermaster C.E. Thomas at the latter's headquarter's in Selma. Barker remained in Selma for the duration of the war, and in August 1865 married Joan Elizabeth Ferguson (1842-1910). The couple was wed for over forty years and their union produced four children, Ellis Carson (1866-1898), Florence Jane, Joan Elizabeth (died 1910), and Olive Louise (1873-1960).

  Following his war service Prelate D. Barker began plotting his business fortune, and in the same year as his marriage entered into the cottonseed oil, lumber, and petroleum business in his region, work that would extend into the 1880s. This was followed by his being tapped to serve as the secretary and treasurer of the Selma and Meridian Railroad in 1869. His time in that post extended two years, and midway during his service was elected to his first political office, that of Dallas County Superintendent of Education.

From the Notable Men of Alabama, Volume I, 1904.

  Barker left the office of county superintendent in 1871 and in November 1873 entered into his first high profile political appointment, that of Collector of Internal Revenue for Alabama's 2nd district.** Appointed by President Grant, Barker succeeded Francis Widner, who had been suspended from office and died shortly thereafter. Barker's first stint in that post extended several years, and during his term saw Alabama's revenue districts consolidated into one district, thereby making him collector for the entire state. Following his resignation in the late 1870s, Barker joined with the Empire Refining Co. of New York as its secretary, serving from 1879-83.

  In 1883 Prelate Barker was reappointed as Alabama's Collector of Internal Revenue by President Chester Arthur. He would relocate to Montgomery to take office and served until the inauguration of President Cleveland in March 1885. This period also saw Barker enter into the cotton compress and storage business in Montgomery, and in 1890 received the appointment of U.S. Postmaster at Mobile by President Benjamin Harrison. Barker served until 1894 when his commission expired, and in 1897 was reappointed postmaster by President McKinley. His second stint in office extended until 1914, serving through the administrations of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, and the first year of the Wilson presidency.

  Beginning in 1888 the name of Prelate D. Barker became a familiar one at the Republican National Convention. All told, Barker was elected as a delegate to every Republican National Convention held between 1888 and 1920, excepting the 1904 convention held in Chicago. The 1900 RNC Convention in Philadelphia saw Barker chair the Alabama delegation and also served on the committee to notify President McKinley of his renomination, visiting the president at his home in Canton, Ohio. In addition to his being an eight-time RNC delegate, Barker represented Alabama on the Republican National Committee for eight years, 1908-16. 

   In 1910 tragedy struck Barker with the death of his wife of forty-five years, Joan. He would remarry in 1914 to a woman nearly forty years his junior, Grace Salome Pettit (1873-1942). A longstanding Mason and member of the Knights Templar, Barker continued residence in Mobile until his death at home on March 29, 1928, at age 92. He was survived by his wife Grace, with both being interred at the Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile.

From the History of Alabama and Dictionary of Alabama Biography, Vol. III, 1921.

** While nearly all sources record Prelate Barker's appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue as occurring in 1871, this is incorrect. Francis Widner was revenue collector in that year and served until his suspension (and later death) in 1873. Barker was appointed by President Grant to succeed him in November 1873, as per the record of the U.S. Court of Claims case log.

Portrait from the Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1912.

   Around the same time Prelate D. Barker was establishing a name for himself in Alabama, a man with a similar first name was doing the same in Massachusetts. That man was Prelet Drake Conant, a Fall River businessman who had fleeting political involvement in 1896 when he was a Prohibition Pary nominee for the Massachusetts state senate. Born in Attleboro, Massachusetts on September 22, 1822, Prelet D. Conant was the son of William and Achsah (Perry) Conant.

  Less than a year after he was born, Prelet suffered the death of his father and during his youth was employed as a spinner in a local cotton mill. He later learned the trade of carpenter and following his mother's death removed to Fall River, where he continued carpentry work. Conant married in Rehoboth, Massachusetts to Jane Munroe Rounds (1825-1905) in August 1843. The couple's lengthy union saw the births of a least three children, Mary Jane, Thomas Leprelet, and Minnie Ida.

  After a decade's residence in Fall River Conant removed to Tiverton, Rhode Island, where he engaged in the manufacture of sashes and blinds for several years. He removed back to Fall River sometime later and established himself in business in that town's Bowenville district. After a fire destroyed his business, Conant was forced to rebuild and by the early 1870s is recorded as operating the P.D. Conant and Co., dealing in "Builder's Supplies, Doors, Sash, Blinds, Hardware and Cutlery."

  Conant retired from business in 1886 and was active in Fall River fraternal groups, being a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges. A longtime agent for the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Conant was also a former director of the Laurel Lake Mill, a vice president of the Citizen's Savings Bank, and a member of the Fall River Board of Trade.

   Prelet Conant's first entrance into politics came in 1856 when he began a long tenure as a justice of the peace, serving in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A leading temperance advocate in his city, Conant was called to elective office by the Prohibitionists in 1896, becoming their nominee for the Massachusetts state senate. Hoping to represent the state's 2nd senatorial district, Conant was one of four candidates vying for the seat. On election day he polled a distant fourth with 345 votes, losing out to former state representative William Moran, who triumphed with 5,289 votes.

  Four years following his senatorial loss, Prelet D. Conant died at his Fall River home on March 23, 1900, aged 77. He was survived by his wife Jane, and a burial location for both remains unknown at this time.

Atticus Dickson Kirby (1868-1960)

Portrait from the Jackson County Chronicles, Vol 31, No. 1, 2019.

  While the name "Atticus" may be familiar to most as the first name of the beloved character Atticus Finch in Harper Lee's  To Kill A Mockingbird, that curious first name is seldom to be found amongst the annals of American politics. Three-term Alabama state representative Atticus Dickson Kirby is an exception to that rule, as he is the first "Atticus" to found by this author who served in some political capacity. Kirby had the honor of representing two different counties in the legislature (his first and second terms being spaced 24 years apart) and in the late 1930s briefly served as probate judge for Jackson County. 

   A native of Chattanooga County, Georgia, Atticus Dickson Kirby was born in the town of Summerville on June 16, 1868, the son of Francis Andrew Kirby and the former Harriet Ann Shropshire. Prominent in politics in his own right, Francis A. Kirby (1824-1885) represented Summerville in the Georgia State Assembly for fourteen years (1854-68) and for two years held the post of state superior court judge. 

  Atticus Kirby's formative years were spent in the town of his birth, where he attended local schools. From 1889-90 he was a student at Emory University in Atlanta and for a four year period in the late 1880s was employed by an uncle, J.W. Bale, in the city of Rome. This was followed by an eight-year stint as a traveling salesman from 1893-1901, and in April of the latter year married in Scottsboro, Alabama to Zaida Brown (1873-1967). The couple's near six-decade marriage would be childless.

   Kirby and his wife settled in Huntsville following their marriage, where he operated a mercantile store, and two years after his resettlement he was elected as secretary of the Retail Grocer's Association of Huntsville.

A Kirby-Brown wedding notice from the Birmingham Age-Herald, April 4, 1901.

   Having first entered politics in 1901 with a brief stint as a town councilman in his native Summerville, Kirby made his first entrance onto the Alabama political stage in November 1906 when he was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives, polling 1,219 votes. One of two Madison County legislators elected for the 1907-11 term, Kirby was named to the committees on Commerce and Common Carriers, Education, Labor and Immigration, and Municipal Organization. In 1934, twenty-three years after the conclusion of his first term, Kirby made his second run for the legislature, this time from Jackson County. After winning the May Democratic primary, Kirby went on to win the November general election, polling 2,726 votes. The 1935-39 session saw Kirby named to four new committees, those being the Military, Manufacturing, Public Buildings and Institutions, and Public Roads and Highways.

  Midway through his second term Kirby was appointed by then-Governor Bibb Graves as Probate Judge of Jackson County, succeeding Judge Ray McAnelly, who had resigned. Kirby sat on the bench until November 1938, and in November 1942 won a third term in the statehouse. During the 1943-47 session, Kirby again served on the Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers and was also named to the committees on Public Health, Public Welfare and Corrective Institutions, and Revision of Laws.
   Following his final term in the legislature, Kirby and his wife Zaida removed back to Scottsboro, where they resided at Brownwood, Zaida Brown Kirby's ancestral family home. He celebrated his 90th birthday in 1958 and died aged 91 in January 1960. Kirby's wife Zaida survived him by several years and following her death at 94 in 1967 was interred alongside him at the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Scottsboro.

Cunningham Wilson Hickman (1860-1930)

Portrait from the Birmingham News, June 9, 1930.

   Lifelong Alabaman Cunningham Wilson Hickman was a Birmingham based attorney who, following his serving one term in his state's legislature, advanced to the post of judge of the court of common pleas of Birmingham. The son of former Jefferson County treasurer William Peyton (1827-1926) and Elizabeth (Hamilton) Hickman (1831-1900), Cunningham W. Hickman was born in Trussville, Jefferson County in 1860. His early education was obtained in the county of his birth and from 1883-84 was a student at the University of Alabama.

  Although he did not complete the university's academic course, Hickman continued studies at the university's law school and in 1886 graduated with his bachelor of laws degree. He soon relocated to Birmingham to begin practice. He married in 1902 to Flora Buell (1873-1960), who survived him upon his death in 1930. The couple would have six children, William Peyton (died in infancy in 1903), Cunningham Jr. (died in infancy in 1906), Paul (1906-1919), Frances (1908-1989), and Flora (1911-2008).

   Hickman entered politics in November 1902 with his election to the Alabama House of Representatives, and during his one term (1903-07) sat on the following committees: Agriculture, Banking and Insurance, the Judiciary, and Municipal Organizations. Hickman would also have some strange name company amongst his fellow legislators, serving alongside Genubath Coke Williams, Littleberry James Haley, Cleophas Rhett McCrary, and Boswell DeGraffenreid Waddell, who was profiled here in November 2017.

  Several years after leaving the legislature Hickman returned to political life with his election in July 1914 as judge of the Birmingham Court of Common Pleas, 1st division. Succeeding outgoing judge Isaac Benners, Hickman served on the bench until his death on June 9, 1930, at his family home in Trussville. He was survived by his wife and two daughters and was interred at the Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham.

Norfleet Ruffin Sledge (1888-1937), Norfleet Lynn Carney (1854-1931)

Portrait from the Choctaw Plaindealer, August 5, 1932.

   The son of a leading Mississippi capitalist, Norfleet Ruffin Sledge was a Senatobia County-based attorney who later served twelve years as a chancery court judge in his state. He would later resign from the bench to serve as a campaign manager for U.S. Senator Byron "Pat" Harrison in 1936 and died a few months after Harrison won his fourth term in the senate. Born in Como, Mississippi on June 4, 1888, Norfleet Ruffin Sledge was the son of Norfleet Ruffin (1839-1910) and Lucile Johnson (Meriwether) Sledge (1861-1950). A leading businessman in Panola County, Norfleet Sledge Sr. was a Confederate veteran who earned a fortune in the cotton industry, and in addition to owning over 7,000 acres of land also distinguished himself as a banker, railroad director, and lumber company executive.

   A student at the University of Mississippi, Norfleet Ruffin Sledge graduated in the class of 1909 with his bachelor of laws degree. He first established himself in practice in Sardis, Mississippi, and by 1913 relocated to Senatobia, where he was a partner in the firm of Holmes and Sledge. Sledge married in Mississippi in 1914 to Clara Wesson (1894-1927), who died in childbirth in July 1927 after delivering a son, Norfleet Ruffin (1927-2008).

  Sledge practiced law in Senatobia until 1917 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army. After completing training he served in the intelligence department of the Judge Advocate General's office until his honorable discharge in April 1918, due to "disability incurred in the line of duty." Following his return stateside he maintained memberships in several veterans organizations, being a vice commander of the Arthur Armes Post No. 127, Sardis-Como, Mississippi; the Drum Major and Bugle Corps Post. 127; the Rube Baskin Chapter 17 of the D.A.V.; and was chairman of the Legislative Committee of the American Legion, Department of the Mississippi.

Sledge's senior portrait from the 1909 Ole Miss yearbook.

  Through the early 1920s, Sledge continued with his law partnership and in 1924 was elected to fill a vacancy on the Third Chancery District Court of Mississippi, this vacancy occurring due to the elevation of Judge M.M. McGowan to another judicial post. Sledge was elected to a full term of his own in 1926, and in the year following his election suffered the death of his wife Clara. Three years after her passing Sledge remarried to her younger sister, Obedience "Beady" Wesson (1897-1961), who would survive him. The couple's union was childless.

  In 1930 Sledge won a third term as chancellor and in 1934 entered into his fourth term, which extended until his resignation in 1936. In 1932 he was an unsuccessful aspirant for the state supreme court, and despite "magnificent support" outside his district failed of election by only a few hundred votes. His twelve-year tenure as chancellor for the third district was later lauded by the Clarksdale Daily Register as one of credit, noting:

"It is said that his record showed fewer reversals  by the Supreme Court for the same period and volume of business than that of any Chancellor who ever held this position in the history of Mississippi."

A Sledge campaign notice from his 1932 Supreme Court candidacy.

  Following his 1936 resignation, Norfleet Sledge joined the campaign of friend Byron Patterson "Pat" Harrison, then running for reelection to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi. As Harrison's campaign manager,  Sledge was also brought aboard as a member of the campaign's finance committee, a role that put his name on the federal payroll with a $3,000 salary. This fact subsequently drew the ire (and watchful eye) of fellow senator Theodore Bilbo, with whom Harrison had a checkered history, but despite Bilbo making charges of payroll corruption, Harrison won reelection that November. 

   In the weeks following Harrison's win, Sledge journeyed with him to Washington, D.C., where he hoped to be named to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Although he was passed over for that post, Sledge achieved some measure of consolation when he was appointed an assistant to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings for the U.S. Department of Justice's claims division. During his residency in Washington Sledge had a home at the Raleigh Apartments, and died in his room from an unexpected attack of apoplexy on March 11, 1937. Just 48 years old at the time of his death, Sledge's body was escorted back to Mississippi by Senator Patterson and Congressman Wall Doxey, with burial occurring at the Friendship Cemetery in Como.

From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, March 12, 1937.

Norfleet Carney during his mayoralty.

  Another "Norfleet" that made his name in the public forum was Norfleet Lynn Carney, a physician who served three terms as mayor of Clarksville, Tennessee. A lifelong Tennessean, Carney was born in Montgomery County on September 21, 1854, the son of Christopher Norfleet and Margaret (Lynn) Carney. Carney's formative years were spent on his father's plantation and in the late 1870s attended the University of Tennessee until departing in his junior year.

  Desiring to begin a career in medicine, Carney enrolled at the Vanderbilt University and in 1879 graduated with his medical degree. Following graduation, he had further clinical study at a Nashville hospital and in 1880 removed to Clarksville to begin his practice. Carney married in Clarksville in 1888 to Hattie Grinter (1866-1956), and the couple's forty-three-year marriage produced four sons, Edwin Lee (1889-1971) Norfleet Lynn Jr. (1890-1971), Clarence Grinter (1892-1980), and Richard Rodney (1894-1933.)

  In the early 1890s Carney began to focus attention on Clarksville civic affairs, and in 1892 was elected as mayor of that city. He would be returned to that office on two more occasions, and after the completion of his third term in 1898 was acknowledged as a "thorough student of municipal government and was one of the best posted men in the city along that line." Carney's final term as mayor saw him become affiliated with the Street Railway, Light and Gas Company of Clarksville, and from 1896-1909 served as its president. He retired from the practice of medicine in the early 1900s.

  After leaving office Carney's name continued to be prominent in Clarksville civic life, with his being a multi-term city alderman, and for a time served as president of the First National Bank of Clarksville. In 1911 he became an early dealer in automobiles in his region, partnering with his son Clarence to establish a Ford distributing agency. Carney's sons Norfleet and Richard would also join this concern, which later distributed Buick models.

  Norfleet L. Carney died at his Clarksville home on August 9, 1931, aged 76. At the time of his death, he was a councilman for the city's fifth ward, and he was survived by his wife and four sons. His wife Hattie survived her husband by a quarter-century, and following her death at age 89 in 1956 was interred alongside him at the Greenwood Cemetery in Clarksville.

Juanell Dwight Lollar (1921-1997)

From the Mississippi House of Representatives composite, 1956-60.

  Discovered recently via a copy of the 1958 Mississippi handbook of legislators, Juanell Dwight Lollar was an automobile mechanic who represented the counties of Montgomery and Grenada for one term in the Mississippi house of representatives. Bestowed the unusual first name Juanell, Lollar was born on September 27, 1921, in Kilmichael, Mississippi, the son of E. Benson (1900-1977) and Blanche Kemp Lollar (1901-1991). 

  An Air Force veteran of World War II, Lollar underwent training in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1942 and was an instructor in airplane mechanics at Gulfport Field and Keesler Field, Mississippi. Lollar married in August 1942 to Dorothy Jean Palmertree (1926-2010), to who he was wed until his death. The couple would have three children, Juanita, Gary, and Marty (1963-2017).

  An auto mechanic by trade, Lollar was a partner in the Lollar Bros. Garage located in Kilmichael and also was a member of the Kilmichael Volunteer Fire Department. In 1955 Lollar was elected as a floaterial representative to the Mississippi state legislature, and during his term (1956-60) was a member of the committees on Eleemosynary Institutions; Insurance; Public Health and Quarantine; Public Lands; Roads, Ferries, and Bridges; and Temperance.

  After leaving office Lollar continued residence in Kilmichael, where he was a deacon and Sunday School teacher in the local Baptist church. His later years saw him as a dispatcher for the Kilmichael Police Department, and he died in that town on August 15, 1997, aged 75. He was survived by his wife and children and was interred at the Kilmichael Friendship Cemetery.

Malbourne Addison Angier (1820-1900)

Portrait from the Biographical History of North Carolina, Vol. III, 1906.

  The figure of Malbourne Addison Angier stands prominent in the history of Durham, North Carolina, a city best known to most for being the home of both Duke University and the Bull Durham Tobacco Company.  As the owner and operator of one of the first mercantile establishments in Durham, Angier was a pioneer businessman in the still-young city, and by the late 1870s, had turned his attention to elective office. He would serve one term in the state house of representatives from Orange County and in 1890 was elected to the first of three terms as Durham's mayor. Born on November 30, 1820, in Orange County, Malbourne Addison Angier was the son of Matthew and Sarah (Dollar) Angier.

   While Angier's later prominence in Durham is well recorded, little information exists on his formative years or education. He married in February 1853 to Mary Jane Pearson (1830-1906), to who he was wed for nearly five decades. The couple would have four children, William Jackson (1854-1924), Sarah Pearson (1856-1936), Jonathan Cicero (1857-1911), Pride (died in infancy in 1859), and Mary Gilmore (1861-1939). Of these children, Sarah Pearson Angier would marry Benjamin Newton Duke (1855-1929), an heir to the Duke tobacco fortune, a philanthropist, and vice president of the American Tobacco Company.

   Following the establishment of a North Carolina railroad depot in the early 1850s,  physician Bartlett L. Durham (later the namesake of the city) and two partners opened one of the first mercantile stores in the vicinity of what would eventually grow into the city of Durham. Angier would serve as this store's clerk, and circa 1852 he and Durham partnered to form another general store, also located near the railway. This store sold liquor and other goods, and by the beginning of the 1860s Angier was operating his own mercantile store, located at a location later known as "Angier's Corner"

  With his name firmly established in Durham's business sector, Angier saw the city incorporated in 1869 and also made headway into other aspects of area life, being a past master of the Durham Grange and in 1865 was a charter member of the Durham Academy. Prior to his legislative service, the only political office Angier had held was justice of the peace (eventually serving for fifty years), and in 1878 he received the Democratic nomination for state representative from Orange County. After emerging triumphant at the polls, Angier took his seat in January 1879 and during the 1879-80 session was named to the committees on Finance and Propositions and Grievances. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1880 and his term was later favorably remembered by the Biographical History of North Carolina, which noted:

"His service was honorable to himself and to his constituency and valuable to the affairs of the State."

Portrait courtesy of Angier's wikitree.com page.

  Following his term, Angier returned to his earlier business interests and later served as a member of the Board of County Commissioners for Orange County. In the late 1880s, Governor Alfred Moore Scales appointed Angier to the board of directors of the North Carolina Railroad. Representing Durham on that board, Angier would be reelected in 1892 and would continue to serve until at least 1895. For an indeterminate period, he would also hold a seat on the Durham Board of Aldermen. 

  In May 1890 Malbourne A. Angier was elected as Mayor of Durham, "by a majority of 177", defeating several other candidates. He would serve in that capacity until May 1893 and in the year after leaving office took part as a member of the credentials committee for the 5th district's Democratic congressional convention. 

  Angier's final years saw him continue prominence in Durham, with his being a charter trustee of the Watts Hospital in that city, as well as being the president of the Fidelity Savings and Trust Company in the late 1890s. He celebrated his 80th birthday in November 1900 and died one month later on December 29th, at his home. He was survived by his wife and children and was memorialized as a "most loyal and honored citizen, a kind neighbor and a most true friend." Angier was interred at the Maplewood Cemetery in Durham, and two decades following his death was honored by his daughter Sarah Angier Duke with the unveiling of a bust of his likeness on the Durham courthouse lawn. This bust still stands today and denotes Angier's political service to his community.

Landrine Jehu Tatum (1832-1924)

From the Kansas City Word and Way, July 31, 1924.

   A native son of Ash County, North Carolina, Landrine Jehu Tatum was called to the ministry at an early age, and prior to his permanent settlement in Missouri held pastorates in both Georgia and Arkansas. Following settlement in Missouri in 1864, Tatum's ministerial work in the Baptist church extended over five decades, and briefly graced the political stage in 1886 when he was an unsuccessful aspirant for the Missouri House of Representatives from Hickory County. Born in Ash County on February 22, 1832, Landrine Jehu Tatum was the son Buckner and Behethland (Sheriff) Tatum.

  The majority of Tatum's formative years were spent in the state of his birth, and at age 13 removed with his family to Gilmer County, Georgia. Two years later he was called to the ministry, and in October 1847 was baptized in the Mountaintown Baptist Church. Shortly afterward a church was organized in the neighboring settlement of Pleasant Hill, where Tatum was named as church clerk. After being licensed to preach in 1851, Tatum began a teaching career in Gilmer and Murray County that would extend over a year and later undertook theological study at Mercer University in Georgia.

  Following ordination in April 1856, Tatum left Georgia for Arkansas, and after a brief residency there removed to Texas, where he taught school for several months. He later returned to Arkansas where during the Civil War he ministered "to both Federals and Confederates." Tatum married in May 1863 to Margarette Jane (Clonts) Sheriff (1835-1914), a widow with three children from a prior marriage. The couple's five-decade union saw the births of four daughters, Theodosia (1864-1930), Georgia (1866-1958), Margaret (1869-1872), and a child who died in infancy.

  In 1864 Tatum left Arkansas for Missouri and soon after his resettlement in Hickory County entered into a pastorate at the Mt. Moriah Church in Dooley Bend. Three years following his establishing roots in that community Tatum became a founding member of the Old Path Baptist Association, and after its organization served as its clerk and moderator at various times over the next three decades. Tatum's work for the church also saw him affiliated with the American Baptist Publican Society, as a distributor of religious publications.

  Landrine J. Tatum's lone foray into Missouri politics came in 1886 when he garnered the Democratic nomination for state representative from Hickory County. One of three candidates in that year's contest, Tatum would place second to incumbent Republican William Lucas Snidow (1829-1903), who had served six prior terms in both the state senate and house of representatives.

  The latter portion of Tatum's life saw him continue prominence in Baptist church work, and in 1914 suffered the death of his wife Margarette. He celebrated his 90th birthday in 1922 and later died at the home of his daughter Theodosia on April 21, 1924, aged 92. He was later interred at the Dooley Bend Cemetery in Galmey, Missouri.

The Strangest Names In Canadian Political History?

Pamphile Real Blaise Nugent Du Tremblay.

  Our change of pace continues with a peek at some of the curiously named figures who've populated the government of America's neighbor to the North. Each of Canada's ten provinces has had a wealth of history both prior to and after the Canadian confederation, which was achieved in 1867. From the province of Alberta to the province of Quebec, as well as Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia (amongst others) each province's history saw the election of numerous legislators, councilors, judges, and mayors. This list was first launched shortly after the development of the "Strangest Names In British Political History", and its total amount of listees was further increased by members of the House of Commons and Senate, legislative bodies that came to fruition following the Canadian Confederation of 1867. As of the date of publication, this list stands at just over 140 individuals and will continue to expand when time permits. Enjoy!
