| 2208 | Sgt. Monti was first wounded in action 3 July 1944 against the enemy over Yap Island and awarded the Silver Star posthumously for gallantry in action over Borneo, on 3 October 1944. A first engineer and top turret gunner in the crew of a B-24 aircraft which took part in the second mass daylight raid against this heavily defended Japanese oil refining center. Carrying the maximum bomb and fuel load, and with their ammunition supply cut in half, they flew a record distance of more than 2,500 miles over water without fighter escort into an area where strong enemy resistance was inevitable. Flying through heavy anti aircraft fire, his airplane was hit by a shell and a large fragment ripped through his hip and leg. In spite of the critical wound and the intense pain, Sgt. Monti placed himself in a position from which he could observe enemy interceptors and continued calling out their positions as they pressed their unrelenting attacks upon the bomber formation. When it became evident that the damaged bomber would have difficulty in returning, this enlisted man calmly called attention to the heavy equipment which should be jettisoned and thus aided in bringing the airplane to an emergency base, where he died the following day. Sgt. Monti had completed thirty combat missions. | Monti, John Jr. (I1271)

| 2217 | The Bellville Countryman, 18 Dec 1861: MAJ. SAMUEL LUSK?This old citizen and servant of Christ, died at his residence in Brenham, Washington Co., Texas, Dec. 6, 1861, in the 61st. year of his age. Bro. Lusk was a native of Buncombe county, North Carolina, but was reared and educated mainly in Tennessee, where at the age of 22 he was joined in marriage with Miss America W. Coffee, with whom he lived to the day of his death. He moved from Tenn. into Alabama, and there remained until 1835, when he emigrated to Texas. Here he soon secured by his uprightness and integrity of character the confidence and esteem of the people among whom he settled, as was proven by having confided to him positions of public honor and trust. He was also a member of the Convention in 1836 which ratified the Act of annexation to the U.S. and framed the present Constitution of the State. It is not too much to say that Maj. Lusk was highly esteemed as a citizen and loved as a christian. He was first a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination, but afterwards unified with the Baptists, and was baptized into the fellowship of the Brenham Baptist Church, in 1853, of which he lived a consistent member up to the time of his disease. As a christian Bro. Lusk seemed ever distrustful of himself, but trusted in Christ for salvation. He was a man of prayer and faith. When brought to look into the "valley of the shadow of death," he did not shrink, expressed a willingness to die regarding the danger as desirable. With his last words he gave his friends most comfortable assurance of peace and joy in believing. A wife and children, and a large circle of friends mourn the loss of our friend and brother. May that hope which bore him up throughout his sufferings to the end, sustain and comfort the hearts of the greatly bereaved wife and children, and prepare us all to follow with "joy and not with fear" when our time shall come. | Lusk, Major Samuel (I1320)

| 2225 | The New York Times, 11 Nov 1912: GRISCOM, FOUNDER OF SHIP TRUST, DEAD Retired Financier Had Been Ill Two Weeks, Suffering from Brain Congestion. ESTABLISHED AMERICAN LINE With J. P. Morgan He Founded International Mercantile Marine Company -- Other Interests. Special to The New York Times. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-Clement Acton Griscom, one of the founders of the International Mercantile Marine Company, died this afternoon at 5:30 o'clok at his country seat, Dolobran, Haverford. He was 72 years old. He had been acutely ill for two weeks, suffering from congestion of the brain. While on a European tour in 1911 he was stricken with a slight attack of paralysis, but he quickly recovered. His constitution was so rugged that the illness of the past fortnight was not considered as the final one, although physicians told his family that his condition was grave. Mr. Griscom had a relapse during the morning. He became enfeebled, and it could be seen that the end was near. The members of the family were summoned and remained at the bedside until death. Clement Acton Griscom was born in Philadelphia on March 15, 1841, the descendant of a family which had been identified with the history of Philadelphia since 1680. His father, John D. Griscom, was a prominent physician of that city. After receiving his education in the public schools and the Friends Academy, Mr. Griscom entered the old shipping firm of Peter Wright & Sons, rising in six years from a clerkship to be a partner and moving spirit at the age of 22. In 1871 Mr. Griscom became one of the founders of the International Navigation Company, through his direct negotiations with the late King Leopold of Belgium, and was elected Vice President, becoming President in 1888. After absorbing the Red Star Line, the company acquired the Inman Line, renaming it the American Line, and under Mr. Griscom's masterful management the International Navigation Company came to possess one of the biggest and finest fleets in the shipping trade. After his acquisition of the Inman Line Mr. Griscom began to build palatial vessels, for those days, and in rapid succession added to his fleet the New York, the Paris, the St. Paul, and the St. Louis - the Lusitanias of their day. Through his energetic efforts, special legislation was secured from Congress allowing the New York and the Paris, which were British built, to sail under American registry. Mr. Griscom was associated with J. P. Morgan in the formation of the International Mercantile Marine Company, when in September 1902, the capital stock of the International Navigation Company was increased to $120,000,000, in order to provide the funds for the acquisition, through the International Navigation Company, of the White Star Line, Atlantic Transport Line, Leyland Line, and Dominion Line, the new so-called "Shipping Trust," having a gross tonnage in excess of 1,000,000 tons. Mr. Griscom continued as President of the new company until 1904, when he resigned and became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the International Mercantile Marine Company, which position he held until his death. He had been ill for the past year, and had taken practically no part in the management of the company. Following the Titanic disaster, it was rumored early in September that J. Bruce Ismay would resign as President to become Chairman of the Board of Directors on the retirement of Mr. Griscom, which had been expected before the end of the year on account of his ill-heaht. His death, it was said yesterday, would not create any change in the management, as Mr. Griscom had taken no active interest in the affairs of the company for some time. Mr. Griscom was one of the founders and the first President of the American Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. In 1889 he was one of the American delegates to the International Marine Conference for Revising the Rules of the Road at Sea. He was made an honorary member of the Institute of Naval Architects of Great Britain, a distinction conferred on but three others at that time. The Queen of Holland conferred the decoration of Orange-Nassau upon Mr. Griscom in recognition of the perfect discipline prevailing on the ships of the International Navigation Company, as evinced by the rescue by the St. Louis of the passengers and crew of a disabled Dutch steamship. Mr. Griscom was a Director of the United States Steel Corporation, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and of more than a score of financial institutions. He was a member of the Philadelphia, Rittenhouse, Union League, and New York Yacht Clubs, in addition to many other clubs and societies in New York, Philadelphia and London. In 1862 he married Miss Frances Canby Biddle of Philadelphia. He is survived by his widow, three sons -- Clement A. Griscom, Jr., Lloyd C. Friscom, former Ambassador to Italy, and Rodman E. Griscom -- and by two daughters, Mrs. Samuel Bettle and Miss Frances Griscom. | Griscom, Clement Acton (I541)
