(1929 - 2011)
     Cynthia Gould Holcombe was born on 19 February 1929 at Los Angeles Co., CA.1 She was the daughter of Admiral Harold Romeyn Holcombe and Mildred Gould Kuck.1 Cynthia Gould Holcombe married John Harris Hall on 6 June 1970 at Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA.1 Cynthia Gould Holcombe died on 26 February 2011 at Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., CA, at age 82.

From the Los Angeles Times, 2 March 2011:

By Carol J. Williams

Senior U.S. 9th Circuit Judge Cynthia Holcomb Hall, a trailblazer for women in the federal judiciary who evoked both controversy and feminine tradition during a legal career that spanned six decades, died at her Pasadena home Saturday after a long battle with cancer. She was 82.

A controversial choice for the U.S. Tax Court when President Nixon appointed her in 1972, Hall weathered critics' efforts to have her thrown off the bench because of concerns that her husband's job heading the tax department of a Los Angeles law firm posed potential conflicts of interest.

But Hall was as well known for the ornamental gardens she created and nurtured at the Pasadena courthouse as she was for the opinions she penned in a judicial career that began with the tax court appointment. President Reagan named her to a U.S. District Court post in 1981 and to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals three years later.

Though on semi-retired senior status since 1997 and undergoing cancer treatment, Hall continued to hear cases until recently.

She was often on the conservative side of issues decided by the court, upholding in a 2007 ruling federal agents' right to infiltrate the private North American Man/Boy Love Assn. to investigate suspected criminal conduct and dissenting from a court majority in 2003 in a case that reinstated a wrongful-death suit against gun manufacturers in a Los Angeles hate crime.

She could also surprise court-watchers, though, as when she joined the majority in a 2006 ruling upholding an Alaska high school student's right to display a banner reading: "Bong Hits 4 Jesus."

"Judge Hall was a respected jurist who took strong positions and stood by them. She was a valued colleague and a good friend to many. She will be missed," 9th Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski said.

Senior Judge Betty Binns Fletcher remembered Hall as "a true Renaissance woman" whose passions for gardening, travel and photography were as fulfilling as her law career.

Hall "brought a beauty, quite literally, to the interior and exterior of the lives of her colleagues," said Senior Judge Michael Daly Hawkins. The grounds of the Pasadena courthouse where she had chambers, he said, "are among the most exquisitely landscaped of any public building this side of Versailles."

The controversy surrounding Hall's seat on the tax court eventually dissipated, only to be replaced years later, long after the 1980 death of her husband in an aviation accident, with Washington gossip in 1994 that she was romantically involved with Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist. She deflected news media inquiries by saying she "certainly would not comment on anything concerning my personal life, or his."

Born Feb. 19, 1929, in Los Angeles, the daughter of a U.S. Navy admiral, Hall earned her undergraduate and law degrees at Stanford University and served as a reservist in the Naval Judge Advocate General Corps.

After clerking for 9th Circuit Judge Richard H. Chambers, she worked as a research assistant for the Tax Law Review, then earned a tax law degree from New York University. She served as a trial attorney for the Justice Department, then as an attorney advisor in the Treasury Department before a stint in private practice and her appointment to the tax court.

Hall is survived by her brother, Lowell Holcomb; daughter Desma Holcomb and son Harris Hall; four stepchildren, three grandchildren and six stepgrandchildren.

Plans were pending for a private family service and a court memorial.

Elisha Shepard Elmer

b. 26 October 1825, d. 14 July 1915
     Elisha Shepard Elmer was born on 26 October 1825 at Bloomfield, Hartford Co., CT. He was the son of Stephen Elmer and Electa Holcombe. Elisha Shepard Elmer married Mary B. Bigelow in 1852. Elisha Shepard Elmer died on 14 July 1915 at Hartford, Hartford Co., CT, at age 89.

From the Courant 15 July 1915:

Elisha Shepard Elmer, the oldest veteran fireman and the oldest veteran letter carrier in Hartford, the third letter carrier that his city ever had, and a man who was delivering letters to the stores and homes of Hartford at a time when he was able to "cover" the whole city, died early yesterday morning at the Old Peoples' Home on Jefferson street at the age of 89 years. The cause of death was myocarditis, but Mr. Elmer had been ill for many years with heart trouble in another form, and rheumatism and bronchitis, although he had not been confined all of this time. He was able to be about the city frequently and was a familiar figure on the streets. He always wore a black slouch hat and carried a market basket, and he was familiarly referred to by people who knew him only by sight as “the man with the basket.”

On account of his intimate knowledge of the city and its people and a remarkable memory for details Elmer’s reminiscences of Hartford in the days when it was a small New England town were among the clearest and most valuable of any of the “oldest inhabitants.” He was born in Blomfield, October 26, 1825, when that town was called Wintonbury, a son of Stephen and Electa (Holcomb) Elmer. He was a direct descendant of Edward Elmer, who came to Hartford with Thomas Hooker, and was a grandson of Phineas Elmer, a soldier in the War of the Revolution. He married Miss Mary B. Bigelow of Ryegate, Vt., in 1852. His wife died fifteen years ago. He had five children, three of whom are living, Mrs. W. E. Watson, Mrs. Jeanette E. Bradley and Miss Lizzie M. Elmer, and two grandchildren, Mrs Alice Upton and Miss Mary E. Watson, all of this city. An only son was drowned in the Connecticut River when he was only 18 years and a daughter died in infancy.

Elmer was appointed Hartford’s sole letter carrier under Postmaster Edward S. Cleveland, who served from 1861 to 1869. Two letter carriers had proceeded him, Samuel Wiley, who died of smallpox, and Cornelius O’Neil. During the first part of his term as postman, Elmer’s “beat” consisted of all Hartford, an indication of how small the town was then. It had already started to grow, however, and I a short time the town was divided into two beats and an extra carrier was appointed. George L. Coburn, later Rev. George L. Coburn, pastor of a Methodist church in this city, who died in Winsted, June 24. Elmer had to “cover” the half of Hartford including Asylum and State streets, and all the territory north, while Mr. Coburn had the South End. The two men were friends until Rev. Mr. Coburn’s death a few weeks ago.

Elmer became a fireman when he was 21 years old, in 1846, being a “runner” for Neptune Hose Company, No. 2, and was a member of the Hartford Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association. His fire fighting days were so far in the past that the records of the company with which he served have since been lost.

After giving up his work as a letter carrier, Elmer became a carpenter and was known as a skilled workman. He later became intensely interested in gardening and horticulture, pursuits which he followed almost until his death. He exhibited at many agricultural fairs at Concord, H.H. Brattleboro, Vt., Worcester, Mass., and New Haven, and was a life member of the New England Fair Association. He was fond of wild flowers and berry hunting and took long walks into the country with his familiar basket on his arm in search of growing things.

At one time Elmer was one of the largest tobacco raisers in Hartford and his farm was within the present city limits in a section that is now covered with three to ten family tenements, a field that extended from Pavilion street to Suffield street. He lived for thirty years at No. 66 Wooster street and before that he lived in the old Elmer Homestead, a house which now faces Elmer street, named after the family.

Elmer was a friend of Henry Clay Work, the Hartford author and composer of “Marching Through Georgia,” and he remembers visits made to Hartford by Lincoln and Grant. He voted for Fremont and had been a life long republican. He remembered when Jenny Lind sang in the Forth Congregational Church, when the city police court was established in 1851, when the Fremont log cabins were as thick as bees, when the Fremont hut was opened for republican meetings, and what happened in war time, when he was a letter carrier. He remembered when the Hartford and Wethersfield Horse Railway Company opened its line for travel on Main street in 1863, and when the “steam cars” first made their appearance in Hartford, down at the foot of Mulberry street, the track being laid on sp**os. He also remembered when the railroad line was built between Hartford and Springfield, and how finally Springfield was united with New Haven via this city.

In a recent talk with a reporter Elmer told of some of the incidents of the old days when fire fighting was done with hand drawn and hand pumped “tubs,” such as that of his company, instead of the tremendously powerful motor pumping engines and water towers that are used today. He said, in part: --

“Speaking of running with old Nepture, we used to always take the sidewalk with the machine. I boarded at that time in a room in one end of the old Phelps block. One night we responded to a bell alarm, and we thought it was the old Connecticut hotel on Main street. We started to turn down a gangway right near where Hills block now stands, when someone shouted that the fire was down on State street. The old machine was going at a mighty fast clip, and it swerved right t the corner of that gangway and chopped off a big six-inch barber pole as neatly as you please. If the machine had ever struck any of the men it would have killed them. And to end it all, there wasn’t any fire. So the men said: -- “ ‘Let’s wet down Madame Justice,” the figure on top of City Hall. We shot a stream of water clear over her, and wet her down for several minutes just to pay for being called out. After returning from fires, we always had our crackers and cheese and doughnuts and coffee and sometimes something a little stronger.”

Elmer remembered the old Exchange block fire and also a bad fire that occurred in Norman Lyman’s old salt and lime store on Commerce street. Neptune was stationed down by the river. He used to tell how the engineers used to shout: “Play away, No. 2.” Sometimes the firemen had to stop and rest, and they had a way of lifting the suction hose out of the river with a plank when they wanted to have some fun with the chief engineer. There were no water mains in those old days, and water had to be taken either from large cisterns under the streets, or from the river. There are several of the old cisterns still left, one of them being down near the South Green.

Talking of politics in the old days, he said: --

“I have lived in the Third and Seventh wards for fifty years, and in Hartford, all told, for sixty-four years. I have seen so many changes that I couldn’t begin to enumerate them. I voted for John C. Fremont. I remember how they used to naturalize voters in the old building where the marble block now stands on Central row. Ira Wright and Horace Billings used to help naturalize ‘em. They didn’t stop to ask ‘em many questions and even if some of the would-be citizens couldn’t tell what ship they came over on, or how old they were, they were generally stamped as eligible. It was amusing to see how they turned ‘em out, and the tricks that some politicians played in the old days. I have seen money spent right and left, seen liquor checks given in return for votes.”.
