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

    Looks like it says "Lindabury," and the picture is almost certainly related to this article: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9403E3DE173FE633A... All four of these men are named in the article as important players in a lawsuit to break up U.S. Steel.
  • swanq said:
    An earlier NYT article from May 7, 1912 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9C06EEDC153CE6... has pictures of Brown, Dickinson, and Lindabury.
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for the additional information. We'll update the source data with a probable date range for this.
