Kenkyu-Sha Bldg. 9, Kanda Surugadai 2-Chome Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan Manufactured in the United States of America Table of Contents Preface vi Table of Abbreviations vii Alphabetical Practices xiii Biographies 1 Preface The publication of Volume IX of Who Was Who in America is an important step forward in the growth of a series of biographical reference books that seek to reflect both American history and the genealogical heritages of this country. The sketches are of deceased biographees in Who’s Who in America as well as our regional and topical library. The Was books (to use the shortened form by which they are better known) display the distinctive characteristics that have made Who’s Who in America both an internationally respected reference work, and a household word in the country of its origin. Sketches not only were prepared by information supplied by the biographees themselves, but were approved and frequently revised by the subjects before being printed in a Marquis publication. As a result, many sketches contain personal data unavailable elsewhere. The preface to the first volume of Who’s Who in America selected this fact as one of the volume's outstanding characteristics, and stated: "The book is autobiographical, the data having been obtained from first hands." Similarly, Who Was Who in America is largely autobio- graphical. Although condensed to the concise style that Marquis Who's Who has made famous, the sketches contain essential facts. Inclusion of date of death and place of interment completes the sketches. In continuing improvements introduced in previous volumes of Who Was Who in America, this volume includes sketches of some Marquis biographees known to be 95 years of age or older. Lacking current information regarding these individuals, we make such inclusions in the hope that our apologies will be accepted should errors occur. Sketches of recently deceased world notables also are included, particularly of those international figures whose careers had a direct bearing on the course of recent American history. The result is far more than a biographical directory of some 117,000 deceased American notables within the covers of nine volumes. Who Was Who in America contains a vital portion of American history from the early days of the colonies to mid-1989. It is the autobiography of America. VI
