# James T. Edwards

James Thomas Edwards (January 6, 1838 – August 20, 1914) was an American educator, Methodist minister, and politician.

## Life

James was born on January 6, 1838, in Barnegat, Ocean County, New Jersey. He was the son of Rev. Job Edwards (1802-1871) and his second wife Susannah Haywood (1808-1895).
James attended Pennington Seminary (today The Pennington School) and graduated from Wesleyan University in 1860. He taught Natural Science for a year at the Amenia Seminary, New York, after which he started teaching at the East Greenwich Seminary (later known as the East Greenwich Academy) in Rhode Island. He intended to study law under William L. Dayton, but these plans were cut short after Dayton was sent to France as its new ambassador.
In 1862 James married Emma Atwood Baker (1838-1921). Their children were Grace Ella Baker (1864-1921), Laura Alice Lyman (1868-1944), and Florence Emily Sumwalt (1876-1959).
He enlisted in the 11th Regiment Rhode Island Volunteer Infantry to fight in the Civil War. He enlisted as a private, but was immediately given a commission by Governor William Sprague as second lieutenant. He was quickly elected first lieutenant of a company of YMCA volunteers. He was later made adjutant of a parole camp outside of Alexandria.
When he left the army in 1864, James returned to the East Greenwich Academy, where he was elected principal. He was also elected to the Rhode Island Senate, where he served from 1865 to 1869. While in the Senate, he helped to get the Fifteenth Amendment and a prohibition bill passed in the Senate, although both failed in the Assembly. In 1868, John was a Presidential Elector for Ulysses S. Grant, and was a Rhode Island Delegate for the 1866 National Union Convention.
In 1870, James left Rhode Island for the Chamberlain Institute in Randolph, Cattaraugus County, New York. He served as principal of the Institute for the next 22 years, resigning in 1892. He also received a Degree of Divinity from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, in 1876, and in 1890 was made a Doctor of Laws.
In 1891, the Republican James was nominated for the New York State Senate's 32nd District (Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties) by the Democratic Party, the People's Party, and an Independent Republican Party. He won the election over Commodore P. Vedder and served in the State Senate in 1892 and 1893. After he left the State Senate, he served as principal of McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, from 1893 to 1898.
James was a Methodist minister, and was an elected delegate to the 1884 and 1892 General Conferences of the M. E. Church, a delegate to the 1884 Methodist centennial, and a member of the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions.
James died on August 20, 1914, in his family home in Randolph. He was buried in Randolph Cemetery.
# Alyogyne

Alyogyne is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae which are endemic to Australia. Its species were formerly in the genus Hibiscus but were split off starting in 1863 with H. hakaeifolius. In 1915 Lewton transferred H. cuneiformis and in Fryxell (1968) H. pinonianus and H. huegelii followed. A recent revision has created many new species.
The name Alyogyne comes from the Greek words "alytos" (undivided) and "gyne" (female). "Gyne" referers to the styles which are female parts of a flower. In Hibiscus, the style is branched below the stigmas but in Alyogyne it is undivided.
Five species are accepted.
* Alyogyne cravenii Fryxell
* Alyogyne cuneiformis (DC.) Lewton – coastal hibiscus
* Alyogyne hakeifolia (Giord.) Alef.
* Alyogyne huegelii (Endl.) Fryxell – lilac hibiscus
* Alyogyne pinoniana (Gaudich.) Fryxell – sand hibiscus

He played for the Providence Grays, Worcester Ruby Legs, and Philadelphia Athletics. Corey was born in Coventry, Rhode Island, and died in Providence, Rhode Island, and is interred at the North Burial Ground. Corey twice cost himself a potential home run by failing to touch third base: first, on 9/23/1880 vs. Boston, then again, on 9/17/1881 vs. Cleveland. "These would have been the first two homers in his career, which ended up with a total of seven."
# Tightrope Walker (sculpture)

# Henry Howard (Rhode Island politician)

Henry Howard (April 2, 1826 – September 22, 1905) was an American lawyer and politician. He served as the 32nd Governor of Rhode Island from 1873 to 1875.

## Early life

Howard was born in Cranston, Rhode Island to Jesse and Mary Howard. He attended Smithville Seminary and in 1848 he studied law in the office of future Rhode Island Governor William W. Hoppin. In 1851, he was admitted to the Rhode Island Bar and began a private law practice.

## Career

While serving in the Rhode Island General Assembly, Howard was a delegate to the 1856 Republican National Convention which nominated John C. Fremont as the Republican presidential candidate.
In 1858, Howard abandoned his law practice to open a New York City office for his father-in-law's business. When Elisha Harris died in 1861, Howard returned to Rhode Island to take a larger role in managing the company. When it was incorporated in 1865 as the Harris Manufacturing Company, Howard was named the president. His brother, David, played a role in the incorporation.
Howard remained active in Republican Party politics, serving as an elector in the 1872 presidential election which granted a second term to Ulysses S. Grant. In 1873, Howard was elected to the first of two consecutive terms as Governor of Rhode Island. He declined to seek a third term. In 1876, he served once again a delegate to the National Republican Convention, and in 1878 he was nominated by President Rutherford B. Hayes as an assistant commissioner to the Paris Exposition.
In 1878, Howard, with Pardon Armington and Gardiner C. Sims, established the Armington and Sims Engine Company, manufacturing high-speed piston valve steam engines. The consistent output of their engines prompted Thomas Edison to use them for his Pearl Street Station power plant in New York. The company's finances suffered from the depression following the Panic of 1893, and in 1896 it failed entirely, and its assets were sold to the Eastern Engine company.
In 1879, Howard founded the Providence Telephone Company, serving as its president for the rest of his life.

## Retirement and death

In 1900, Howard retired, and the Harris Mill in Coventry, Rhode Island was sold to Interlaken Mills, which was managed in part by Howard's son-in-law, Edward Bucklin. Howard died in 1905, and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Coventry, Rhode Island.

## Family life

In 1851, he married Catherine Greene Harris (1830-1907), the daughter of textile mill-owner and former Governor Elisha Harris. Howard and his wife had one daughter, Jessie, and two sons, Elisha and Charles.

# Tony Luke's

Tony Luke's is an American-based cheesesteak restaurant that was founded in 1992 by Tony Lucidonio and his sons, Tony Luke Jr. and Nicky Lucidonio at its original location at 39 East Oregon Avenue in South Philadelphia. The franchise has since expanded, with 16 locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, one location each in Washington, DC, Maryland & Texas as well as one in Bahrain.

## History

In the early 1990s Luke, Jr., his father and his brother, Nicky, bought a property near the expressway in South Philadelphia. The restaurant opened on February 3, 1992. The restaurant did not initially serve cheesesteaks until six months after opening due to popular demand. To avoid competition with other local businesses, the original Tony Luke's stand offered a more diversified menu, offering hoagies and other fare, along with cheesesteaks. Luke Jr. soon took over the store's marketing.
Eventually, the business grew to include several locations in the Philadelphia area and a line of frozen sandwiches. Through a partnership with Rastelli Foods Group, the business now has several franchised locations in Bahrain. On January 21, 2019, the restaurant announced that they will be opening 7 locations in New York City. The first location opened on April 3, 2019 in Brooklyn, New York on Flatbush Avenue.
In July 2020, the owner Anthony Lucidonio Sr. and his son Nicholas were indicted on federal tax fraud charges. They are accused of failing to report over $8 million of income from 2006 to 2016. They are also accused of paying employees in cash to avoid payroll taxes. The Lucidonios dispute the criminal charges.

## Business ventures

In 2008 Tony Luke expanded his franchise to frozen cheesesteaks and pork products known as Tony Luke's Pronto.

## In mass media

Tony Luke was selected as Bobby Flay's adversary for an episode of the cooking show Throwdown! with Bobby Flay, with Luke winning the cheesesteak battle.
Tony Luke's was featured on the Travel Channel's Man v. Food with Adam Richman attempting the "Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge", which consisted of 42 oz. of beef, 18 oz. of cheese, and 8 oz. of fried onions on a 20-inch hoagie roll. Richman chose American cheese for his cheesesteak while Luke, who also took on the challenge, opted for the more traditional Cheez Whiz on his. Richman succeeded in the challenge while Luke failed.
The restaurant was also featured on Food Wars (hosted by Camille Ford), going head-to-head with Pat's King of Steaks in a battle for best cheesesteak in Philadelphia, with Pat's beating out Tony Luke's in the competition.
Tony Luke played host to former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall on his visit to Philadelphia filming his 2019 series Eddie Eats America for UKTV. Luke said Eddie was the fastest eater of the "Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge".
# Topiary Park

Topiary Park is a 9.2-acre (3.7 ha) public park and garden in Columbus, Ohio's Discovery District. The park's topiary garden, officially the Topiary Garden at Old Deaf School Park, is designed to depict figures from Georges Seurat's 1884 painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. It is the only park based entirely on a painting.
The park is officially named Old Deaf School Park, as it was part of the campus of the Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, known today as the Ohio School for the Deaf. It is owned by the city of Columbus and maintained by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department.

## Description

The park is located in downtown Columbus. It features topiaries trimmed into life-size shapes of men, women, children, animals, and boats and arranged to resemble the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Specifically, there are topiaries of 54 people, eight boats, three dogs, a monkey, and a cat. It also hosts 220 trees, including 35 different species. A cast-iron fence surrounds the space. The park hosts jazz concerts.
The park is adjacent to the Main Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library system. The branch was renovated around 2015, with one of the architect's goals being to join the library to the park.
The gatehouse, near the southeast corner of the park, is the park's main entrance. The 2,400-square-foot (220 m$^2$) building holds offices, restrooms, and an information desk and gift shop. It was constructed in 1998, designed in brick and resembling a French countryside house to match the park's theme. The building was funded by the City of Columbus, Motorists Mutual Insurance, and the Friends of the Topiary Park.

## History

The land was formerly part of the 10-acre (4 ha) grounds purchased in 1829 for the Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. When the school moved locations in 1953, the neighborhood began to decline. Most of the school's buildings burned down in 1981, leading to the development of the park, which helped revitalize the area.
In 1984, one of the remaining school buildings, the modern-day Cristo Rey Columbus High School, was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination includes all 10 acres of the former campus grounds.
The park was first developed in the mid-1980s as Old Deaf School Park. Topiary Park and its garden was conceived by Columbus artists James and Elaine Mason. It was built as a garden exhibit for the AmeriFlora exhibition that took place in Columbus in 1992, and was sculpted in 1989, along with installation of hills and a small pond, meant to represent the River Seine.

# Torrey Lake Historic District

The Torrey Lake Club or Torrey Lake Ranch, also known as the Boardman Ranch or Murdock Ranch was built as a resort in the 1920s about 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Dubois, Wyoming at an elevation of about 7,400 feet (2,300 m). The club is on about 603 acres (244 ha), centered on a complex of nine cabins, a bunkhouse for ranch hands and staff, and supporting structures. The log cabins were built by club members from local materials.
The club was established by Oklahoma businessman John R. Boardman, who came to the area in 1901 with family and friends. In 1915 Boardman bought property on Torrey Lake and homesteaded it in 1921. That year he and two partners formed the Torrey Lake Club as a resort for friends. In 1926 the club became the Torrey Lake Ranch, a working ranch on 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) owned by Boardman and partner Charles Brown Voorhis. In 1938 during the Great Depression Boardman and Voorhis divided the property between them. The area containing club structures was on Voorhis's portion of the ranch. The Voorhis property was sold in 1944, while the Boardman section remains in the Boardman family. The property remains a working cattle ranch.
The club area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1991.
