Frederick Trubee Davison (Central Intelligence Agency)

**Frederick Trubee Davison** (February 7, 1896 - November 14, 1974) was an American World War II aviator, Assistant United States Secretary of War, Director of Personnel for the Central Intelligence Agency, and President of the American Museum of Natural History.

Davison was born on February 7, 1896 in New York as the son of Henry Pomeroy Davison and Kate Trubee. He graduated from the Groton School and attended Yale University as a part of the class of 1918. He was one of the founders of the First Yale Unit, which is considered the first naval air reserve unit, in 1916 in response to World War I raging in Europe. He and other students feared that the United States would soon be dragged into the war effort and would find itself poorly prepared, especially in aviation. On July 28, 1917, during his flying test in order to obtain his Navy wings, Davison lost control of his seaplane in a panic attack and spiraled into the sea, the impact of which split the plane in two. Davison was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a broken back and injured spinal cord. He never saw combat, but was active in unit activities and was awarded the Navy Cross for his services.

After the war, Davison finished his undergraduate program in 1919. He proceeded to attend Columbia University Law School, where he earned a law degree and went on to work with lawyers in Manhattan. He was on the cover of Time Magazine for the August issue in 1925. He was also elected to the New York State Legislature after the war, where he gained a reputation as being one of the hardest-working members. He was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1922 to 1926, and was Assistant Secretary of War for Air from July 1926 to March 1933. In July 1951, Davison became director of personnel for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and left the post in April 1952.

Emily Schotten (Webster) Ellsworth

**Emily Schotten Webster** (August 4, 1790 - August 23, 1861) was a resident of Hartford, Connecticut, and a religious student and writer.

Webster was born on August 4, 1790 in New Haven, Connecticut, as the daughter of Noah Webster and Rebecca Greenleaf. As the eldest child of Webster, she enjoyed the advantage of being educated under his own personal supervision and instruction. Her father's library, remarkably choice and extensive for that day, was open to her, and she became a diligent student. Her tastes led her to prefer the study of history to the reading of works of fiction, and her memory became stored with choice poetry. But religion gave the "crowning glory to all her womanly virtues." She was a diligent student of the Bible into the middle of her life.

As she approached the end of her life, her health began to fail severely, but she would say to those around her, "This is a hard hour, but I wil fold my hands and rest upon my Savior." A few hours before her death on August 23, 1861, her husband, reading to her some comforting passages of scripture, said, "I fear I have tried you in reading too long!" But she replied, "Ah! But my time is so short!" A little while before her departure, the family was summoned to her bedside, and she died soon after.

She refused the Spanish offer to install a Spanish garrison in Turin from Milan with the excuse of giving her a life guard.

Edward the Elder

**Edward the Elder** (c. 874-877 - July 17, 924) was an English king upon the death of his father, Alfred the Great. His court was at Winchester, previously the capital of Wessex. He captured the eastern Midlands and East Anglia from the Danes in 917 and became ruler of Mercia in 918 upon the death of Aethelflaed, his sister.

All but two of his charter gave his title as "king of the Anglo-Saxons." He was the second king of the Anglo-Saxons as this title was created by his father.

## Life and Death

Edward was born as the second surviving child and elder son to Alfred the Great and his Mercian queen, Ealhswith. He was born between 874 and 877. He was educated at court with his youngest sister. Until the 890s, the obvious heirs to the throne were Edward's cousins. When Alfred died in 899, Edward's cousin Aethelwold, the son of King Aethelred of Wessex, rose up to claim the throne and began a revolt. He seized Wimborne, in Dorset, where his father was buried. Edward marched to Badbury and offered battle, but Aethelwold joined the Danes in Northumbria, where he was announced as King. In the meantime, Edward was crowned King on June 8, 900.

In 901, Aethelwold came with a fleet to Essex, and encouraged the Danes in East Anglia to rise up. In 902, he attacked English Mercia and northern Wessex. Edward retaliated by ravaging East Anglia. The two sides met at the Battle of the Holme on December 13, 902. The Danes were victorious, but they suffered heavy losses, including their King, Aethelwold. Relations with the North proved problematic for several more years. In 909, he sent an army to harass Northumbria. In 910, they retaliated by attacking Mercia. The two armies met at the Battle of Tettenhall on August 5, 910 - the Anglo-Saxons were victorious.

Edward extended the control of Wessex over the whole of Mercia, East Anglia, and Essex, conquering lands occupied by the Danes and bringing the residual autonomy of Mercia to an end in 1918, after the death of his sister, Aethelflaed. Her daughter, Aelfwynn, was the ruler of Mercia for couple of months before she was deposed and sent to Wessex in December 918. The first half of the tenth century was critical in the development of the shire as principal administrative unit in England, and Edward was responsible for shiring Mercia and the eastern Danelaw. The recognition of Edward's overlordship in Scotland led to his successors' claims of suzerainty over that Kingdom. Edward reorganized the Church in Wessex.

Edward died on July 17, 924 leading an army against a Welsh-Mercian rebellion and was buried.

After deliberation of half an hour the following day, the jury ruled on January 28, 1933 that the will was valid.
