# William Banks (barrister)

William Banks (19 April 1719 – September 1761) was an English barrister and the father of Sir Joseph Banks, the naturalist. He was also a Member of Parliament for six years, and from 1733 to 1741 was known as William Hodgkinson.

## Life

Banks was the younger son of politician Joseph Banks of Revesby Abbey, Lincolnshire. After being educated at Westminster School he entered the Middle Temple in 1736 to study law.
In 1741 he was elected as one of the two Members of Parliament for Grampound, sitting until 1747. He was unable to seek re-election after the loss of the use of his legs, due to an illness in 1745.
Banks married Sarah, the daughter of William Bate of Derbyshire, with whom he had a son, Sir Joseph Banks the famous naturalist, and a daughter. He succeeded his wife's grandfather in 1733, adopting the name of Hodgkinson, but reverted to Banks on succeeding his own father in 1741, his elder brother Joseph having died the year before.
# William Carter (Philadelphia)

# William Bell (architect)

William Bell (1789 – 1865) was a Scottish architect and builder, who emigrated to the United States and practiced in North Carolina.

## Life

William Bell was born in Aberdour on the coast of Fife on 28 October 1789.
Bell trained in Medicine at Edinburgh University prior to turning to architecture. In 1826 he married Margaret Robertson, and they had several children. In 1832/3, the family was living at 7 India Place, in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh. The building was demolished in the 1970s. Bell's known works in Scotland are limited to churches in the north (harbour area) of Edinburgh.
Bell emigrated with his family to the United States in 1833. He quickly became involved in design and construction of arsenal buildings for the US Army, designing facilities in Yonkers, New York in 1833 and Washington, DC in 1834. In 1835, he happened to meet fellow Scot, David Paton, at a quarry in New York. Paton was then working on the North Carolina State Capitol in Raleigh, and the two men decided to work together.
In 1837 Paton recommended Bell for a federal commission to build a massive United States Arsenal in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Bell worked on this complex project for nearly three decades, as it comprised around 25 buildings. He employed up to 200 laborers (including enslaved African Americans) at any given time during its construction. Bell and his family lived at the arsenal during this period.
When the Confederate States of America took over the arsenal in 1861, Bell continued as architect and facility manager. The arsenal was destroyed in 1865 by General Sherman’s troops during the American Civil War.
Bell died on 17 September 1865. It is said that he died of a broken heart on seeing his life’s work destroyed.

# William Hellyer

William Hellyer (1821 – 8 January 1885) was an Australian solicitor and a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council for one day.

## Early life

Hellher was born in 1821. His father was Thomas Hellyer (1801–41) and his uncle was Henry Hellyer, surveyor, architect and explorer in Tasmania. On 20 January 1840, William married Margaret Gray at Bathurst.

## Professional career

In 1854, Hellyer applied to be admitted as a solicitor; however, this was refused by the Full Court of Supreme Court as he had not been an articled clerk for the required five years. He was subsequently admitted.
In 1861, the Robertson Land Acts were opposed by the Legislative Council and the Premier, Charles Cowper, appointed 21 new members, including Hellyer, to swamp the council. Before administering the oath to the new members, the President of the Council, Sir William Burton, announced his resignation and left the chamber, with other members following his example. In the absence of a presiding officer, the council was adjourned. As this was the final day of the final day of the five-year term of the council, Hellyer was unable to take his seat. He was not nominated to the reconstituted council.

# William H. Danforth

William H. Danforth (September 10, 1870 – December 24, 1955) was an American businessman known for founding Ralston Purina in St. Louis, Missouri in 1894. He was a co-founder of the American Youth Foundation (AYF) and the author of the book, I Dare You!.

## Early life and education

Danforth was raised in Charleston, Missouri. He graduated from Washington University in St. Louis.

## Career

Ralston's checkerboard logo evolved from a personal development concept Danforth put forth in his book I Dare You! (1931), in which he used a checkerboard to explain it. Danforth proposed that four key components in life need to be in balance. In the illustration, "Physical" was on the left, "Mental" on top, "Social" on right and "Religious" on the bottom. To be healthy, you needed the four squares to stay in balance and one area was not to develop at expense of the other. The concept became intertwined with the company in 1921 when it began selling feed that was pressed in cubes called "checkers." The Christian Science Monitor named I Dare You! as one of the top 10 self-help books of all time.
Through the Danforth Foundation, he subsidized the construction of 24 Danforth Chapels on college campuses around the United States, and one in Japan. Berea College, which Danforth attended, has one of them. It is part of the Draper Building. The outer wall contains stones from Danforth's personal collection, obtained from various locations of historic importance.

## Biography

His father, Joseph Edouard Laparra (1850-?), was a merchant who originally came from Spain. He began his artistic education at the École de Dessin de Bordeaux then, in 1892, went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, where his instructors included William Bouguereau, Tony Robert-Fleury and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. He was awarded the Prix de Rome at the age of twenty-two for his painting depicting the Pool of Bethsaida.
In 1902, he married Franciszka Wanda Landowska (1879-1904); sister of the sculptor Paul Landowski. He also became acquainted with the painter, Ignacio Zuloaga, who was then living in Paris, and exhibited frequently in several venues, including the Salon. Later, he served as a Professor at the Académie Julian. A few years after Franciszka's early death, he married Fanny Bertrand (1889-1939); daughter of the geologist, Marcel Alexandre Bertrand, and sister of the painter, Claire Bertrand.
As the son of a Spaniard, he was influenced by that country's culture and took an extended trip there from 1908 to 1909; stopping in Burgos, Madrid and Toledo. Upon returning, he settled in Boulogne-Billancourt. He would also travel throughout Italy, Greece and Egypt.
In addition to painting, he maintained an interest in the social issues of his time, which was reflected in some of his major works; such as "The Steps of Jacques Bonhomme"', which was shown at the "Verrerie ouvrière d'Albi [fr]", one of the first workers' cooperatives in France.
His favorite subjects for genre scenes involved daily life among the peasantry; treated in a harsh, somber style, but his portraits tended to more cheerful and featured bourgeoise subjects. Several retrospectives have featured his works; notably at Bordeaux in 1997. Over 100 of his works have been acquired by the Réunion des musées nationaux. His works may be seen at the Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, Musée des beaux-arts de Bordeaux and the Musée des beaux-arts de Rouen, among many others.
