While his name is French, Gen.
Devereux is all Irish.
"It's Norman" he tells people
who ask him about that. "It came
to Ireland in William the Con-
queror's time. You'll remember
that he was the illegitimate son Of
a Devereux who was Duke of Nor
mandy. if you know your history"
The Devereux who came to
America did so in hurry. He
was being shot at on sight by the
military.
"You can hardly blame them.
says Gen. Devereux. "ae was moi
only in the Irish uprisings, but
he fought with Napoleon's force.
against the English on the Con.
tinent."

That was his great-grandfather
Shortly after his arrival in 1921
the generals grandfather was
born. He was lawyer for the
Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe and
lived in Kansas for a time. He
was a union man and Republi-
can. His son, DR.. John Ryan
Devereux, married Philadelphia
heiress, Miss Annie Sinnott
daughter of Irish-born Joseph F
Sinnott, the distiller of Gibson's
rye whisky. He fought with the
Union Army and was a stanch
Republican. DR.. Devereux was q
medical officer in Cuba. and there
the future general was born in
1908 during the military admins

DR.. and Mrs. Devereux and the
10 children made frequent trips
to Europe, sometimes staying fol-
more than year. The last school,
James Sinnott Devereux attended

something to stop this country
from drifting into socialism"

ney because Mr.. Van Meter now
holds the post. The position has
been filled by council appoint

ciple, regardless of the incum-
bent.
