Henry P. Davison (left) - Henry Pomeroy Davison (June 12, 1867 - May 6, 1922) was an American banker and philanthropist. "He founded Bankers Trust Company, and became a senior partner at JP Morgan & Company, and in 1910 he was a participant in the secretive meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia that may have led to the creation of the Federal Reserve. "With the entry of the United States in World War I in 1917, Davision was named Chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross. In 1919, he published a book, The American Red Cross in the Great War, describing the wartime activities of the Red Cross." -- Wikipedia Henry P. Davison: The record of a useful life.

b-59: thank you for finding more information about the group of men in the picture. We'll add it to the record.

This would be Clara Driscoll Sevier (1881-1945), a Texas-born writer; she wrote a comic opera called "Mexicana," and financed its 1906 Broadway run. Her husband Hal Sevier was also a Texan; he was US ambassador to Chile in the 1930s. Clara was active in women's clubs, Texas politics, and real estate development: www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/DD/fdr4.html

This would be Clara Driscoll Sevier (1881-1845) ... Typo, s/b: (1881-1945) Clara, as a teenager, also "Saved the Alamo" from redevelopment by personally paying most of the purchase price, and preserving it for future generations. "When the childless, thirty-one-year marriage was dissolved, Clara legally resumed her maiden name and was thereafter officially known as Mrs. Clara Driscoll." –The Handbook of Texas

Fixed, thanks!
