    I think there's only one man without some sort of facial hair.
  • Bwana_Samaki said:
    The Lord Lieutenant in 1914 was Edmond de la Poer. I don't think it is the impressively bearded man who has a more mayoral-looking chain of office.
  • FrigateRN said:
    Tne 'movers and shakers' of their day.
  • Bwana_Samaki said:
    The mayor in 1914 was Richard Power, the name Power is derived from Poer, keep it in the family.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Bwana_Samaki Yep, I was assuming the chain is being worn by Waterford's Lord Mayor, and that the Lord Lieutenant (thank you very much for Edmond de la Poer) might be the gentleman seated in front?

E.H. Gary (LOC)

    Elbert H. Gary gdynets.webng.com/bio.htm and www.dupageheritage.org/yps/gary.html Gary, Indiana was named after him. He was "DuPage County Judge before the turn of the century, when it was considered a public service that prominent lawyers accepted. Mr. Gary was elected to a first term in 1884 and served a second term from 1888 until 1892. Curiously, for the remainder of his long life, he was always addressed as 'Judge Gary' even by his friend, President Theodore Roosevelt, and other national leaders." He was a principal in United States Steel Corporation when it was founded in 1901. "Judge" Gary remained the chief executive officer of the United States Steel Corporation until the day of his death more than twenty-six years later.

    Elbert Henry Gary (October 8, 1846 – August 15, 1927) was an American lawyer, county judge and corporate officer. He was a key founder of U.S. Steel in 1901, bringing together partners J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and Charles M. Schwab. The city of Gary, Indiana, a steel town, was named for him when it was founded in 1906. When trust busting President Theodore Roosevelt said that Gary was head of the steel trust, Gary considered it a compliment. The two men communicated in a non-confrontational way unlike Roosevelt's relationship with leaders of other trusts. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbert_Henry_Gary
