Lucy Thurman (October 22, 1849 – March 29, 1918)  was a national temperance lecturer from Jackson, Michigan.

Biography 
Lucinda "Lucy" Smith  was born on October 22, 1849, in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada to Nehemiah Henry Smith and Katherine Campbell. In 1866, she left home at 17 when she met Frederick Douglass and Dr. William Wells Brown in Rochester, New York. With their help, she began teaching at a school in Maryland. She moved to Jackson, Michigan in 1869 and married Henry William Simpson. She remarried after Simpson's death to Frank Thurman in 1883.

In 1873, she began advocating for the development temperance work for black people at the  Women's Temperance Crusade in Toledo, Ohio. When the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was formed a year later, she became its only black founding member. In 1883, she successfully convinced the WCTU to establish a National Department of Colored Work. In 1893, Thurman became the national superintendent of "Colored Work" at the WCTU. In 1898, she cofounded the Michigan Association of Colored Women's Clubs with friend Mary Eleanora McCoy and served as its first president. The new organization was under the umbrella of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (NACWC) and was dedicated to welfare, rights, and education of black women and families.

In 1906, she was elected as the third national president of the NACW. Under her leadership, she helped to establish a Temperance Department, passed resolutions and actively worked in support of anti-lynching campaigns, juvenile courts, and the National Association for the Protection of Colored Women and Girls.

Death and legacy 
Thurman died in Jackson, Michigan on March 29, 1918.

The Lucy Thurman Young Women's Christian Association Building in Detroit is named for her and opened in 1933. The building received a state historical designation in 1993.

In 1992, she was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

In popular culture
A portrait of Thurman, painted by Detroit artist Telitha Cumi Bowens, was included in the 1988/89 exhibit Ain't I A Woman at the Museum of African American History, Detroit. The exhibit featured a dozen prominent Black women from the state of Michigan, including the Honorable Cora M. Brown, Ethelene Jones Crockett, M.D., and musician Madame Emma Azalia Hackley.

Island of the Dead is a 2000 Canadian horror film written by Peter Koper and directed by Tim Southam. Malcolm McDowell stars with Talisa Soto and Bruce Ramsay.

Plot
The story centers around a group of people that arrive at Hart Island, which has recently been purchased by real estate tycoon Rupert King to build what he calls Hope City, supposedly to help the poor and homeless of the city. The only problem is that the City of New York has been burying their unknown and unclaimed dead there since 1869. The group of people include King along with his personal assistant, a New York cop looking for a missing girl's body, and some employees from the Department of Corrections with inmates used to bury the unknown dead.

Initially, the personal assistant goes missing after being attacked by what appears to be a swarm of aggressive flies.  Later, he's found dead and badly decomposed. Large maggots feed on the corpse.  The flies continue to attack, picking off the party one by one.  When the group realizes the danger, they desperately try to escape.

Donnaha (sometimes called Donnaha Station) is an unincorporated community along the Yadkin River in the Old Richmond Township of northwest Forsyth County, North Carolina, United States. Donnaha is named for the last chief of the Sauras.

History
Donnaha (sometimes spelled Donnoha) is a Native American village. The name Donnaha was first used in 1889 or 1890 by Dr. Samuel Martin, a descendant of a supposed Cherokee chief, who lived in nearby Winston-Salem, North Carolina . Near Donnaha was the site of the first county seat of Surry County, North Carolina, established at Richmond (now Old Richmond), in 1774 and a courthouse was erected by 1779 . However, Stokes County (including modern Forsyth County), was split from Surry County in 1789 and the site was unusable for either county.  The respective courts were moved to Rockford for Surry and to Germanton for Stokes.  Much later, the courthouse site was destroyed by a cyclone in 1830 .  Donnaha was a stop on the former Southern Railway, now used by the Yadkin Valley Railroad.

William George Bade (29 May 1924, Oakland, California – 10 August 2012, Oakland, California) was an American mathematician, who did his most significant work on Banach algebras.

Biography
Bade's father was scholar William F. Badè, who died in 1936. After his father's death, Bade moved with his mother and sister from Berkeley to San Diego, where he graduated from high school in 1942. He spent his freshman year in college at Pomona College and then, under the V-12 Navy College Training Program, studied at Caltech, where he received his bachelor's physics degree in 1945. He received more training which continued until after the end of WW II. After active duty as a Disbursing Officer in the U.S. Navy on the atoll of Truk, he was released from active duty in 1947 but was in the U. S. Naval Reserve until 1955. Bade earned a mathematics PhD in 1951 at UCLA under Angus Ellis Taylor with thesis An Operational Calculus for Operators with Spectrum Confined to a Strip. In the fall of 1951 Bade started teaching at UC Berkeley.

Bade's research started out in operator theory, but he soon moved into Banach algebras where he made fundamental contributions to the field of automatic continuity. In particular, his joint work with Philip C. Curtis, Jr., on the structure of homomorphisms from commutative C*-algebras into Banach algebras and Wedderburn decompositions of Banach algebras had a major impact on the development of Banach algebra theory. He remained active as a researcher well into his mid-70s, and his last paper - on Wedderburn decompositions - appeared in 2000.

On 2 July 1952 he married Eleanor "Elly" Jane Barry and they moved to Connecticut where he worked at Yale University until 1955. Bade and Robert Bartle were research assistants from 1952 to 1954 working on Part I of Linear Operators by Nelson Dunford and Jacob T. Schwartz. In the fall of 1955 William and Eleanor Bade, with two children, returned to Berkeley, where William Bade had an appointment as an assistant professor in the UC Berkeley mathematics department. At Berkeley he became associate professor in 1959, full professor in 1964, and retired in 1991 as professor emeritus.

Bade supervised 24 doctoral dissertations. He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012, the year in which he died. Upon his death, he was survived by his wife, six children, and seven grandchildren.

Baltzer Fleischer (29 September 1703 – 16 December 1767) was a Norwegian civil servant and county governor.

Baltzer Sechmann Fleischer was born in Holbæk  on the island of Zealand in Denmark.   He was the son of Herman Reinhold Fleischer (1656-1712) and Megtele Annamaria Sechmann (ca. 1675-1705). His father's family was originally from East Prussia, but had ties to Norway dating to the early 1600s. As a young man, he began a military career and served for a time in Norway. He came to Norway in 1734 as vice mayor and councilman in Christiania (now Oslo). He served as county manager of Smålenene (now Østfold) for almost 25 years. Baltzer Fleischer was appointed in the Court of Justice in 1749 and the Councillor of State in 1760.

He made a significant contribution to land cultivation of the county. The purpose was a desire to ensure stable supply of labor and to prevent an increase in poverty. His provisions included additional ground clearing and creation of local granaries at all parish churches which could ensure grain supply in  times of emergency. This measure was initiated in 1759 within Smålenene. An increasing criticism from farmers against the procedure and suspicions that Fleischer personally enriched himself resulted in a halt to the project in 1764.

Personal life
In 1727, he married Anna Margrethe Aboe (died 1751). They were the grandparents of Palle Rømer Fleischer (1781-1851).

Richard Bassett (7 November 1777 – 31 August 1852) was a Welsh cleric, thought to be the last Anglican clergyman in Wales to be associated with the Methodists.

Life
Bassett was born at Tresigin, near Llantwit Major in Glamorgan, South Wales. After studying at Cowbridge Grammar School, Bassett went to Jesus College, Oxford, matriculating in 1797, but never graduating. He was ordained deacon in 1801 and priest in 1802, becoming curate of St Athan and Llandow in Glamorgan; in all, he spent over thirty years as a curate. In 1832, he became rector of Eglwys Brewis and, in 1843, vicar of Colwinston.

Bassett was friends with the evangelical cleric William Howels, and through him met the Methodist cleric David Jones of Llangan.  Bassett attended Methodist meetings and associations and was a trustee of a Methodist chapel in Glamorgan, but managed to retain his position in the Church of England until his death in Colwinston on 31 August 1852.  He was probably the last Anglican clergyman in Wales to be associated in such a way with the Methodists.
