Oliver Winchester

popular name: Oliver Winchester

date_of_death: December 10, 1880

age: 70

cause_of_death: Long term illness

claim_to_fame: Business and Finance

best_know_for: Oliver Fisher Winchester was an American businessman and politician, best known as the founder of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut. Interesting to note that repeating rifles were used to some extent in the American Civil War. However, the United States Army at that time did not use many repeating rifles as they were expensive and too advanced for the outdated tactics used in the war. Repeating rifles were not widely used until after the war when they became increasingly popular with civilians. Military authorities concentrated primarily on perfecting breech-loading single shot rifles for many more years. With thousands of rifles in the hands of the average pioneer, the Winchester repeating rifles gained a reputation as "The Gun that Won the West". Oliver Winchester was also active in politics, serving as a New Haven City Commissioner, Republican Presidential elector in 1864, and as Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut from 1866 to 1867.

claim_to_fame: Business and Finance

best_know_for: Isidor Straus (1845–1912) was a German-born American businessman, politician, and philanthropist best known as a co-owner of Macy’s department store and for his tragic death aboard the RMS Titanic. Born in Otterberg, Germany, he immigrated with his family to the United States in 1854, settling in Georgia before moving north after the Civil War. Along with his brother Nathan, Isidor built a successful career in retail, becoming a partner in R.H. Macy & Co. in New York City. Beyond business, he served as a U.S. Congressman for New York’s 15th district from 1894 to 1895 and was widely respected for his integrity and charitable work. Isidor married Ida Blun in 1871, and the two shared a famously devoted relationship. The couple perished together on April 15, 1912, when the Titanic sank—refusing to be separated as the ship went down. Their enduring love story became one of the most poignant and enduring legends of the disaster. While Ida's body was never found, Isidor Straus' remains made their way to New York where he was interred (eventually) at the Straus Family mausoleum at historic Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York. Ida is represented by an urn of ocean water recovered at the sight of the sinking of the Titanic.
