Leahey, Jr. Foundation, 156 Strawtown Road, West Nyack, New York 10994. LEAHEY-Michael I. The members of The Office of Clinical Trials at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center mourn the sudden and tragic passing of our Director Michael I. Leahey. He was a visionary leader who helped create the first centralized Office of Clinical Trials at an academic medical center over a decade ago. This was a uniquely successful joint venture between The New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University. Its outstanding success is due in large measure to Michael's passion for the importance of clinical research and for his absolute insistance that clinical research be conducted with the highest ethical and scientific integerity. In addition, he possessed a remarkable business acumen that allowed him to build an extraordinarily successful enterprise in a very short period of time. Michael built the first and he built the best. The Office is considered a model nationally and internationally and its reputation reflects great credit on Michael and on The Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Visitors from virtually all of the major Academic Medical Centers in the U.S., came to New York to get a first hand tour of the Office Michael built and nurtured. He was generous to all, freely sharing his time and his ideas with anyone who asked. The Office has become the catalyst for the explosive growth of clinical research here over the past decade. Scores of clinical investigators on our campus obtained their first support for their research ideas from funds generated by the Office of Clinical Trials. He was a dedicated mentor to his coworkers and to the faculty and staff and he took great pride in the accomplishments of others. At the same time, Michael was a man of many other interests. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He was a published author and his third mystery novel was completed just before his untimely death. He was totally dedicated to his wife, Lynn and their two children, Jack and Kate. The Office of Clinical Trials Columbia University New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center LEAHEY - Michael. The boards, faculty, students and staff of Columbia University Health Sciences Division and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital mourn the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Michael Leahey. Mike was the director of the Office of Clinical Trials at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, the only person to hold the position after being appointed in 1992. In addition, he oversaw the Clinical Trials Fund, a multi-million dollar fund that invests in the support of programs and projects related to clinical research activities. Mike first joined Columbia in the mid-1980's, serving as administrator for the Division of Cardiology and later as business manager for the Department of Medicine. He was a man of many talents, and published two novels, Broken Machines (2000) and The Pale Green Horse (2001). He recently completed a third novel, Back in the U.S.S.R., which has been submitted for publication. Mike brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to every position he held and the deep loss we feel at his passing is a testament to the mark he leaves on this institution. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Lynn, his children, Katie and Jack, his family and friends. Gerald D. Fischbach, M.D. Executive Vice President for Health and Biomedical Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Columbia University Herbert Pardes, M.D. President and CEO NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital LEAHEY-Michael. The Department of Medicine of the Columbia University College of Physicans and Surgeons mourns the untimely death of Mr. Michael Leahey. A long time friend of the department, Mr. Leahey had brought brilliance, innovation, and dedication to develop a superior Clinical Trials Program. His remarkable successes were crucial to our academic endeavor and to the welfare of patients. We miss him as a friend and extend our sympathies to his family.

| 5082 | Edward III (1312-77), king of England (1327-77), who initiated the long, drawn-out struggle with France called the Hundred Years' War.Edward was born at Windsor on November 13, 1312, the elder son of King Edward II, of the house of Plantagenet. Involved by his mother, Isabella of France, in her intrigues against his father, he was proclaimed king after the latter was forced to abdicate in 1327. During Edward's minority, England was nominally ruled by a council of regency, but the actual power was in the hands of Isabella and her paramour, Roger de Mortimer. In 1330, however, the young king staged a palace coup and took the power into his own hands. He had Mortimer hanged and confined his mother to her home.Edward began a series of wars almost directly after he had control of England. Taking advantage of civil war in Scotland in 1333, he invaded the country, defeated the Scots at Halidon Hill, England, and restored Edward de Baliol to the throne of Scotland. Baliol, however, was soon deposed, and later attempts by Edward to establish him permanently as king of Scotland were unsuccessful. In 1337 France came to the aid of Scotland. This action was the culminating point in a series of disagreements between France and England, and Edward declared war on Philip VI of France. In 1340 the English fleet destroyed a larger French fleet off Sluis, the Netherlands. The action resulted in a truce that, although occasionally disturbed, lasted for six years.War broke out again in 1346. Edward, accompanied by his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince, invaded Normandy and won a great victory over France in the Battle of Crécy. He captured Calais in 1347, and a truce was reestablished. Edward returned to England, where he maintained one of the most magnificent courts in Europe. The war with France was renewed in 1355, and again the English armies were successful. The Peace of Calais, in 1360, gave England all of Aquitaine, and Edward in return renounced his claim, first made in 1328, to the French throne.Edward continued to assert his will both domestically and abroad. In 1363 he concluded an agreement with his brother-in-law, David II of Scotland, uniting the two kingdoms in the event of David's death without male issue. Three years later Edward repudiated the papacy's feudal supremacy over England, held in fief since 1213. He renewed his war with France, disavowing the Peace of Calais. This time, however, the English armies were unsuccessful. After the truce of 1375, Edward retained few of his previously vast possessions in France.The king had, by this time, become senile. He was completely in the power of an avaricious mistress, Alice Perrers, who, along with his fourth son, John of Gaunt, dominated England. Perrers was banished by Parliament in 1376, and Edward himself died at Sheen (now Richmond) on June 21, 1377. He was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II.

[Burke's Peerage] -------------------- BARONY OF LATIMER [OF CORBY] (V) ELIZABETH LATIMER, according to modern doctrine suo jure BARONESS LATIMER, daughter and heir. According to her father's Inquisition post mortem she was aged 24 or 26 in 1381, and 27 or 29 according to that of her grandmother in 1384. She married, 1stly, on or before 9 October 1381, as 2nd wife, Sir John (DE NEVILL), LORD NEVILL, of Raby. On 12 July 1384 John de Nevill of Raby and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heir of William de Latymere, son and heir of William de Latymere knight, the elder, had livery of the manor of Helpringham and other lands held in dower by Elizabeth, widow of the elder William, lately deceased. Lord Nevill died 17 October 1388, leaving by Elizabeth his wife a son John and a daughter Elizabeth. His widow had assignment of dower 9 November 1388, as well as livery of her father's lands, held by her late husband in her right. She married, 2ndly, as 3rd wife, Sir Robert (DE WILLOUGHBY), LORD WILLOUGHBY, of Eresby. She died 5 November 1395, and was buried at Guisborough. On 21 January 1395/6 the escheator in Yorks was ordered to deliver to Ralph, son and heir of John de Nevill of Raby, knight, seisin of various lands, &c., held in dower by Elizabeth his widow, deceased, late wife of Robert de Wylughby, knight and on 14 February was ordered to take the fealty of the said Robert and give him livery of the manor of Danby, &c., pertaining to him by the courtesy of England after Elizabeth's death. Lord Willoughby died 9 August 1396, holding Iselhampstead, Bucks, and some other estates in right of his late wife. [Complete Peerage VII:475-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] -------------------- He [Robert de Willoughby] married, 3rdly, Elizabeth, de jure suo jure (according to modern doctrine) BARONESS LATIMER, widow of John (DE NEVILLE), 3rd LORD NEVILLE (of Raby), daughter and heir of William (LE LATIMER), 4th LORD LATIMER, by his wife Elizabeth. She died 5 November 1395 and was probably buried at Spilsby (h). Will dated 18 October at Eresby, directing burial at Spilsby, proved 10 November 1395 at Lincoln. He died 9 August 1396 and was buried at Spilsby. [Complete Peerage XII/2:660-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (h) The statement that she was buried at Guisborough, co. York, is based on an obit, giving her date of death, taken from a Guisborough Priory calendar. There is, however, no mention of her burial there in a list of Guisborough, sepulcures, and it is far more likely that she was buried, in accordance with her will, at Spilsby, where her effigy appears on her 2nd husband's tomb. | Latimer, Baroness Latimer, of Corby, Lady Neville Elizabeth (I5658511028)

| 5100 | Erik's confirmation record, 8 May 1870 in the Lild Church, states he was born at Hjardemêal Klit 17 August 1855, and baptized 20 August. There was apparently another baptism 10 November 1866 by a Pastor Ulrich of Hundstrup. Erik was vaccinated 2 July 1861. Information on Erik comes from Cai Mygind's book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev Herred, Denmark, pages 69-70. Erik was born at Madsb²l. He was baptized in Hjardemêal Church; among the witnesses were farmers Kasper Koldkjaer, Lars Klit, Jens Tidemannsen, Peder Ellidsb²l and Kasper ¢ddersb²l. In 1870 he was still at home in Lild with his mother and half-brother Lars Christian Caspersen, but left for Osl²s a few months later to become a farmhand. In 1871 Erik emigrated to the United States with his brother Casper. They spent four years working on a farm in Elgin, Illinois, then went to Nebraska in a covered wagon. They worked on a farm near Cordova for three years. On October 12, 1877, Erik came to Hamilton County, Nebraska, where he had heard he could buy railroad land cheaply. He purchased 80 acres near Marquette, and began to cultivate it. In 1880 he married Maren Rasmussen, with whom he had five children. The Djernes farm became a center for nieces and nephews who emigrated from Denmark to work for board and lodging while learning to read and write English. The Danish Emigration Archives Copenhagen Police Records show that Erik Zacharias Pretman Larsen, age 18, servant (Tyende), from ¢sl²s, Thisted, actually emigrated May 18, 1874 bound for Chicago, Illinois. His Contract Number was 1323M. So it appears that in fact he emigrated more than a year after his brother Casper. The 1893 Plat Book, South Platte Precinct, shows Sakarius Larson with 360 acres of land. His final nauralization papers in the Hamilton County Courthouse, Aurora, Nebraska, are dated February 9, 1888. They state that his initial intent was filed May 27, 1880 in District Court, Saline County, Nebraska. Erik was known as Zacharias Larsen in America. His grandchild, Vera, who, with her twin Vivian, stayed on the farm during the first year of high school , wrote about her grandfather, 'He would never tell us a thing. I guess the ending of his father's career and home was so bitter and sad that he did not want us to know anything about it . Grandfather lived a very stern and disciplined life. Mercenary to the point of sometimes making life uncomfortable for the family. But he was a very good Christian man and known as an honest good neighbor by all. Every night he read in his Bible, and he loved to tell us stories of Jesus. I was so proud how he overcame his unhappy experiences with his father losing his land by prospering himself and still be a good Christian man.' A 1936 history of Hamilton County, Nebraska by Gunnerson gives a different view of Zacharias: 'And their was Zacharias Larson....It made little difference where Zach was, he was always the life of the party. When he and Mary, his wife, came to retire from the farm and moved in to Marquette, he kept one horse to furnish transportation back and forth to the farm as the urge dictated. When this old horse was installed in the home in the city he refused to stay stalled. From pure lonesomeness he just about tore the barn down the first night. Zach had handled worse problems than this one and he didn't let this trouble him long. He installed mrrors in the barn, both fore and aft, and as soon as Old Dobbin saw himself surrounded by other of his kind, all the trouble was over. It was not long after this that the motor industry came out with rear vision mirrors in their cars. Whether they stole his idea or he collected royalty on it, I never learned.' Zacharias and wife Maren had five children, only two of whom survived to adulthood. Zach's obituary appeared in the Aurora News, Aurora, Nebraska, July 14, 1933: "Burial Rites for Marquette Pioneer Erik Zakarias Pritsman Larsen Djernes was born in Thy Denmark, August 17, 1885 [obviously an error]. He emigrated to this country in 1871 and came to Barington, Illinois [Barrington, Illinois is just north of Chicago in Cook and Lake counties]. In 1874 he drove to Nebraska in a covered wagon and stayed at Friend [Saline county] Nebraska. In 1879 he moved to Hamilton county and bought a farm. In 1882 he was united in marriage to Maren Rasmussen. To this union was born 5 children and 3 boys and 2 girls. Two girls and one boy died in infancy. This wife preceded hm in death February 17, 1907. In the spring of 1917 he retired from the home farm and bought a house in Marquette where he has lived until he passed away. On July 5th he suffered a stroke and passed away July 7th at the age of 77 years and 20 days. He was baptized and confirmed in the faith of the Lutheran church in Denmark. After coming to Hamilton county he joined the Lutheran church at Kronberg and was a faithful member. Those left to mourn his death are his two children, Lars Larsen on the home farm, Karen Line Larsen of Marquette, three grand children and a host of friends.
