Died at sea whilst aboard the Norwegian ship SS "Isbjorn".
Isbjorn was in service on the coast of Gt. Britain. Took part as supply ship for the Normandie invasion in June-1944 (Operation Neptune), arriving Omaha on June 12, departing June 18. In December 1944 Isbjorn was at the Prince of Wales Dock, Swansea, undergoing extensive repairs and overhaul. She departed Swansea at 18:00 on December 14th with a cargo of about 650 tons Anthracite coal for Poole (Goole?) and joined a convoy the following morning.
The next day a storm was encountered and at 00:30 on December 17th 1944 a heavy sea swept over her, causing her cargo to shift to port, and she immediately developed a list. The captain gave orders to heave to and to start filling the starboard No. 2 ballast tank, which seemed to stabilize the ship and decrease the list somewhat. However, the winds increased to hurricane force, and about 04:30 the electricity to the navigation lights and compass broke down, the paraffin oil lamps were lit, the compass being lit up by an electric torch. It now became more and more difficult to keep Isbjorn under control, and she suddenly started to move off course, with the wind and sea coming in from aft while she listed more and more to port (every effort had been made to keep the wind and sea on the port bow prior to this).
They attempted to get the ship up against the wind again, but to no avail. With the situation now being critical, orders were given to stand by the lifeboat. The motorboat had already been lost when the forward davit gave way. An SOS signal was sent to a nearby ship by Aldis lamp, and a number of rockets were also sent up, but in the poor visibility it was believed their signals were not seen. Two heavy seas now washed over the after deck, and in a matter of seconds Isbjorn capsized and sank by the stern (the hatches were believed to have been broken in). Because of the list they had not been able to launch the lifeboat, but as the ship went down, the boat unhooked itself with 1 man in it who picked up another man from the water.
Later, another 6 were picked up by this boat, including the captain, who had gotten his foot jammed and was pulled down with the suction, but had managed to get himself free and to the surface. The lifeboat was badly damaged and was full of water. 6 hours later they were spotted by the Dutch M/S Osterhaven (position 50 27N 03 00W, Captain H. A. A. Breent) and in spite of the bad weather managed to maneuver the ship close to the lifeboat and take the men on board. However, during this transfer, the steward fell overboard and disappeared. Upon being told there might be more survivors the Dutch vessel went to the place where Isbj?rn had gone down and found 4 men on 2 rafts, but no more survivors could be found, so they left the scene.

Diplomat, Politician, Political Advisor. He was born in Houston, Texas, attended New England prep schools, followed by studying at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York in 1877. When his father died in 1880, he dropped out of school and returned to Texas to manage the family's business.
During the 1890's he established a reputation as a notable behind-the-scenes Democrat political operator, helping to elect four men to the position of Governor of Texas: James S. Hogg (1892), Charles A. Culberson (1894, Joseph D. Sayers (1898) and S. W. T. Lanham (1902). After the election House acted as unofficial advisor to each governor. Hogg gave House the title "Colonel" by promoting House to his staff even though he had no military experience. He moved back to New York after selling the cotton plantation he had inherited and invested in banking.
An ambitious man, House sought to exert influence at the national level, an aim he achieved with his alliance with Wilson, whom he first met in November 1911 and whom he backed in the following year's presidential election. In 1912, House published anonymously a novel called "Philip Dru: Administrator", in which the title character leads the democratic western U.S. in a civil war against the plutocratic East, becoming the dictator of America. Dru as dictator imposes a series of reforms which resemble the Bull Moose platform of 1912 and then vanishes. In 1913, House helped to pick the charter members of the original Federal Reserve Board. House became a close friend and supporter of New Jersey governor Woodrow Wilson in 1911, and helped him win the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912. He became an intimate friend of Wilson and helped set up his administration.
House was offered the cabinet position of his choice (except for Secretary of State which was already pledged to William Jennings Bryan) but declined, choosing instead "to serve wherever and whenever possible." House was even provided living quarters within the White House. His position was weakened, however, when Wilson remarried because the new Mrs. Wilson didn't like him.
He spent much of 1915 and 1916 in Europe, trying to negotiate peace through diplomacy, attempting to promote Wilson's goal of brokering a peace to end World War I. He visited most European capitals in 1915 and 1916 but his attempts at achieving a negotiated peace ended in failure. After the United States entered the war in 1917, House was responsible for working with Allied nations in order to organize manpower and supplies. House worked closely with Woodrow Wilson and Walter Lippmann in drafting the Fourteen Points Peace Program; was a member of the delegation from the United States to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and helped draw up the covenant of the League of Nations. He also worked closely with Wilson in drawing up the Treaty of Versailles. Due to disagreements in ideas and ideals, and personality, Wilson dismissed House in mid-March 1919.
In the 1920's, House strongly supported membership of the United States in the League of Nations and the World Court, the Permanent Court of International Justice. He published four volumes of "The Intimate Papers of Colonel House" between 1926 and 1928, In 1932, House supported Franklin D. Roosevelt but did not attain the position in his inner circle that he had enjoyed with Wilson. Although he became disillusioned with the New Deal, he did not express his feelings of reservation in public.
He died in New York in 1938. His body was returned to Houston and he is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. (bio by: H M G) | House, Edward Mandell (I72199)

Dr. Richard Lee "Doc" Lasbury, retired longtime Kokomo dentist and community supporter, passed away at the age of 87 on the morning of October 21, 2022 in the Kokomo home he shared with his wife of sixty-one years, Betty Jean. He was proceeded in death by his parents, Edwin C. (1969) and Zoa Berenice (1989) Lasbury, as well as by his brothers Charles Edwin (2003) and Thomas J. (2004).
Richard is survived by wife Betty Jean, daughter Cheryl Underhill (Tim), and sons Mark (Lori) and David (Laurie). Doc also had seven grandchildren - Abraham Underhill (Katie), Alexandra Afriat (Eden), Noah Underhill, Anna Lasbury, Aaron Lasbury, Amelia Lasbury, and Walker Lasbury.
Richard was born in Hammond Indiana on March 05, 1934, graduated from Hammond High School in 1952, and was stationed in Mannheim, Germany after enlisting in the US Army. After separating from the armed forces in 1955, he graduated from Indiana University - Bloomington in 1958, married Betty Jean in 1961, and then graduated from the IU School of Dentistry in 1965. Dr. Lasbury opened his practice in Kokomo, serving the community for 34 years before retiring in 2000 as a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Lasbury was deeply involved with his community and his family. He was an avid athlete, competing in local and national racquetball tournaments, triathlons, marathon races, and 100+ mile bicycle tours with members of his family, as well as participating in the National Sr. Olympics for several years. The family followed IU sports fanatically as a member of the Hoosier Hundred and President's Circle Award winner, and supported the IU-Kokomo athletic campus expansion in the 2010s.
Richard and Betty Jean traveled extensively, visiting more than two dozen countries on five continents. His travels coincided with much of his ardent reading, especially as a student and fan of Winston Churchill and as a member of the International Churchill Society. Finally, Lasbury supported educational opportunities for individuals and groups, from elementary school through university. He was very pleased with the efforts of the Taylor High School Robo-Titans who he helped fund in the 2000s.
Dr. Lasbury will be missed by his family, former patients and employees, his friends in both athletics and the Kokomo community, and by all who knew him.
Friends are invited to visit with the family from 11 am to 1 pm Monday November 14, 2022, at Grace United Methodist Church, 219 West Mulberry Street, Kokomo, IN 46901.

New knees, new hips, new pipes: Lasbury still on the go
By Pedro Velazco
Kokomo Tribune sportswriter
Published: August 24, 2009 11:32 pm
Richard "Doc" Lasbury had his left and right hips replaced 24 years ago. In 2003, he had heart bypass surgery. Three years ago, he had his knees replaced.
Recently, the 74-year-old retired dentist thought about slowing down.
Specifically, he thought about that when he was about four-fifths of the way through a trip to Bloomington, going downhill at 32 miles an hour.
He wasn't in a car.
He was riding a bike, speeding down Ind. 37 near Martinsville.
"I'd never ridden it before and me going downhill 32 miles an hour on a bike, not knowing what's ahead of you, it's kind of dumb really," Lasbury admitted.
That was his top speed on a recent bike trip from Kokomo to Bloomington that took a little over nine hours, including a pair of stops to eat. Earlier in life, it was a routine trek that he had made a total of 25 times. He liked to embark on that trip once a year, but he hadn't ridden to Bloomington in 19 years.
"I rode it for 15 years straight, for the first 15 years I did it down and back, and the last few I just went down," Lasbury said. "I knew what I was getting into [with the trip], but I was a lot younger then.
"The reason I did it now is I've had two hip replacements and two knee replacements and four bypasses. I thought it'd be significant if I could do it one more time. Maybe people that have bypasses, that have hips and knees [replaced] - maybe they won't be afraid to try something.
"I'm 74 and I pulled it off, and really, it went very smoothly."
He was worried that the length of the trip might take a toll, but rather he felt fresh enough the following day to go to the gym.
"Really, I felt great the next day - and I wasn't sore," Lasbury said.
"I was happy with my accomplishment. I can say that. At 74, I was sure I could do it, but there's always a little doubt if you're going to cramp up or are going to have some kind of a physical problem. But as it turned out, it was just like I was 45 again."
Despite his hip replacements, bypass procedure and knee replacements, Lasbury has stayed physically active even after retiring from his practice. Yet training for the trip was a new level. He began training in May and dropped 22 pounds, going from 220 to 198 pounds through a combination of diet and his riding.
To get prepared for the trip to Bloomington, Lasbury started with smaller trips locally, then expanded his range.
"I've been riding like crazy," he said prior to his trip. "The longest ride I've had so far [in early August] is 52 miles and my training route is to go to Tipton and back, which is 30 [miles], or to go to Cicero and back, which is 52. My short ride is to Greentown and back. I know where the dogs are and where the ruts in the road are."
Once he was close to his departure date, he rode to Indianapolis and back to test out his plan, and familiarize himself with the shoulder of U.S. 31.
Lasbury trained with friends Jerry Maden, Bobby Irwin and Rev. Kim Drake though none was able to make the trip with him due to schedule conflicts with his trip date. Originally, Lasbury had hoped to make the trip to coincide with an IU football game, but he moved his schedule up because he wanted to make the trip prior to taking a fall class at IU Kokomo.
So instead of riding with his training partners, a friend from Muncie, Tim Underhill, came over to Kokomo and he and Lasbury set out at 6:35 a.m.
They took U.S. 31 toward Indianapolis to 116th St., then picked their way through Indy's northern suburbs, through Indianapolis and down to S.R. 37 toward Bloomington. They rested for about 45 minutes each on stops for breakfast and lunch.
The trip ended at 3:55 in the afternoon at a restaurant in Bloomington where Lasbury's wife picked him up for the trip back home.
Lasbury used to love playing racquetball and ran a lot, but has had to change his exercise habits to lessen pressure on his joints. Biking on the other hand, feels good at any age. As a result, the trek to Bloomington was well within range.
"A lot of people don't think they can do it when they get older," he said. "The truth is, you can if you choose to."
When he started training it was for a one-time renewal of an adventure, but the biking thing is sticking.
"Oh yeah, I rode today," Lasbury said. "There's a group of us that're going to ride over to Lafayette for Purdue's first home game."
He'll make that trip Sept. 5 with Maden, Irwin and some others. The rest will make a day of it, but that's where Lasbury's participation ends.
"They're going to the game, but I don't ... " he said. "I go to Indiana games."

Edward O'Connor Terry (10th March 1844 - 2nd April 1912) was a British actor and comedian. A versatile and recognisable figure of the Victorian stage, he toured widely, visiting the Americas, Australia, India, and South Africa. In 1887, he opened Terry's Theatre on the Strand, and in 1904, brought four plays to New York.

=================================
EDWARD O'CONNOR TERRY (1844-), English actor, was born in London, and began his stage career in a small and struggling way in the provinces. Between 1868 and 1875 he was the leading comedian at the Strand theatre, London, but it was not till he joined Hollingshead's company at the Gaiety in 1876 that he became a public favourite in the burlesques produced there during the next eight years. With Nellie Farren, Kate Vaughan and Royce, he made the fortune of this house, his eccentric acting and singing creating a style which had many imitators. In 1887 he went into management, opening Terry's theatre, where his production of Pinero's Sweet Lavender was a great success. But in subsequent years he was only occasionally seen at his own theatre, and made many tours in the provinces and in Australia, America and South Africa. Off the stage he was well known as an ardent Freemason, and an indefatigable member of the councils of many charities and of public bodies.
