No Baur.. : BAUER (1) Database: Virginia Biographical Encyclopedia Combined Matches: 1 Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume V His education was supplied by the public schools of New York City and the College of the City of New York. Having completed the course at the latter institution, he entered Columbia Law School, from which he received the degree of LL. B., in 1878. Being then but twenty years of age he could not be admitted to the bar until the following year, when he at once entered upon the practice of his profession. As a young man he is said to have tried more cases in a single year than any other lawyer of the New York bar. By the time he attained the age of twenty-four years Mr. Untermeyer represented practically all the important brewing interests in the city, acting as counsel for the Local, State and United States Brewers' associations, and previous to this had acted as senior counsel in two of the most celebrated divorce cases of the state, both of which were bitterly contested. One was the suit of Alfred N. Beadleston, head of the brewing firm of Beadleston & Woerz, and the other was the suit of William L. Flanagan against his wife, a well known society woman. In both cases the evidence was gathered from various sections of the continent of Europe. Another important case tried early in Mr. Untermyer's career was the noted one of Betz versus Bauer and Daily, which grew out of a conspiracy between Henry Daily, Jr., then a prominent lawyer of New York, and his client, junior partner of the firm of Betz & Bauer, seeking to defraud the senior partner through notes signed in the name of the firm by the junior, acting under the advice of Daily. A judgment of fifty-two thousand dollars was obtained against the latter, who was thereafter disbarred. BOWER (2) Database: Virginia Biographical Encyclopedia Combined Matches: 2 Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume II VIII--Prominent Persons born August 1, 1753, son of Captain Nathaniel West Dandridge, of the British navy, and Dorothea, his wife, daughter of Alexander Spotswood, governor of Virginia. In 1775, probably through the influence of his brother-in-law, Patrick Henry, he became associated with the Hendersons, Boones, and others, in the settlement of Kentucky, and was one of the eighteen men who met near the fort at Boonesborough, in May, 1775, to set up a government. News came of the battle of Lexington, however, and most of the men came back to the defence of the colonies. Family letters indicate that Dandridge was for a time attached to Washington's staff; his name does not appear on any staff list, however, and the inference is that he was only temporarily with Washington, he being a cousin of Mrs. Washington. He was made lieutenant in the Fourth Virginia Dragoons, June 13, 1776; captain of Virginia Artillery, November 30, 1776; captain of the First Continental Dragoons, March 15, 1777; and resigned April 14, 1780. After the war, he settled in what is now Jefferson county, West Virginia, about eight miles from Martinsburg. He married about June, 1779, Anne, daughter of Gen. Adam Stephen, of "the Bower," Jefferson county, Virginia. He died at his estate, in April, 1785, leaving an only child, Adam Stephen Dandridge. His widow married Moses Hunter, and reared a large family. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV Mr. Serpell married, September 14, 1869, Georgianna Clarke, born June 25, 1841, in Prince George county, Maryland, daughter of Robert and Alethea (Cheney) Clarke.

BOWERS (1) Database: Virginia Biographical Encyclopedia Combined Matches: 1 Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume III I--Governors of the State--1861-1915 was born at Williamsburg, Virginia, July 31, 1843, son of John Mann and Mary Hunter (Bowers) Mann, his wife. The first five or six years of his life, he attended school in his native place, and afterward the Brownsburg (Virginia) Academy. He was deputy clerk of Nottoway county, 1859-61, and in June of the latter year he enlisted as a private in Company E. Twelfth Regiment Virginia Volunteers, a part of Gen. Mahone's division. He acted as a scout in the operations at Petersburg, was taken prisoner in 1863 and escaped, but on account of injuries received in this line of duty, he was obliged to leave the service, and resumed his work as deputy clerk of Nottoway county. He studied law without assistance, and was admitted to the bar in 1867. In 1890 he became county judge of Nottoway county, serving until 1892, when he resigned. He was an active and effective campaign speaker, and in 1899 was a member of the Democratic State executive committee; during the same period he was a state senator, and chairman of the committee on revison of laws of Virginia. He was the author of the "Mann Law," under the operations of which were closed about eight hundred saloons in the country districts where there was no police protection; and he was also patron of the high school bill, passed in 1906, and under which some four hundred and fifty high school buildings have been erected. In 1910 he was elected governor, and his administration proved most notable, especially in giving practical effect to the temperance and public school legislation which he advocated so strenuously during his senatorial service. The termination of his term of office did not mean absolute retirement, as Gov. Mann has been very active since that date in making campaign speeches and taking part in public affairs. He resides at his plantation in Nottoway county, and is much interested in farming. He married (first) Sallie Fitzgerald, who died November 2, 1882, and (second) at Petersburg, Etta, daughter of Hon. Alexander and Anna Wilson Donnan. Good luck brenda Brenda K.
