chromosomes in cells. Even though there were many contributing factors, one of the most important discoveries about DNA was made by Francis Crick and James Watson. Francis Crick was born in 1916, in Northampton, England. Early in his life, he studied physics but later turned to biology. He attended University in London and earned his Ph.D in molecular biology in 1954. James Watson was born April 26, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. He enrolled in the University of Chicago when he was just 15 years old. He

Frederick Douglas, George Francis Train, Thetus W. Sims, James Mott, Daniel Anthony, Henry Blackwell, and Francis Minor. Frederick signed the Declaration of Sentiments at the Seneca Falls Convention because while everyone else criticized Elizabeth Cady Stanton. George Francis Train helped Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton by funding their own newspaper called, “The Revolution”; he would write on the newspaper. Tethus W. Sims voted in favor of suffrage in 1918.

Stuarts stayed close to the royal throne through marriage. Mary Queen of Guise had lost two sons earlier in her life and was expecting another child, which would be the next heir to the throne. She had one daughter, Mary, which was named after her. Shortly after she was born, her father died of depression due to the loss at war. Mary Stuart was the only child of James V of Scotland and Mary of Guise. It was through her grandmother, Margaret Tudor, that she had a strong claim to the English throne. This

When William married 17 year old Orrville native Margaret on October 15, 1917, he was like his dad a railway section man in Falding. Indeed, 3 out of the 5 boys Milo and Eliza had would at some time work for CNR. Clearly dad was useful in getting employment for his sons. After marriage the couple resided in Gordon Bay on Lake Joseph. There they fell so ill of the Spanish Flu that sister Ethel had to temporarily take up residence with them in Mid-June of 1919 to see them through. As William gained

James Madison was a very influential person throughout American history. He did many things that affected the outcome of United States of America. Born on March sixteenth, 1751, he would begin his interesting life in Port Conway, Virginia with his family, including his eleven brothers. His family moved the plantation to Orange County, Virginia, where they often grew cash crops including tobacco. James Madison was raised here. Unfortunately for James, he was a very sick and weak child, and suffered

DNA theory in today’s society. Ms. Franklin helped lay the groundwork for the research and theories that were later developed by James Dewey Watson and his partner Francis Cricks. The DNA theory as we know it today may not be, had it not been for Rosalind Franklin. James Dewey Watson was born in Chicago, Ill., on April 6, 1928. Watson was an outstanding child. He had won $100 from a radio program as a “Quiz kid”, but he did not buy just anything with the money, he bought binoculars to

tormented by a money related frenzy that grasped the country the next year. In the wake of losing his offer for reelection in 1840, Van Buren ran again unsuccessfully in 1844 (when he lost the Democratic selection to the expert southern applicant James K.

Jefferson was actually the first to create a precise map of the Province of Virginia. Jefferson’s family was part of Virginia’s planter elite and  was one of the most affluent families during the eighteenth century. Jefferson was the seventh born child out of ten. As a boy, Jefferson’s hobbies included playing in the woods, playing the violin, and reading. He began his education when he was nine years old. The first schooling Jefferson received

contributions to science have gone neglected and somewhat forgotten. A woman, who without her contribution to science we may have been set back, and not have had so many advancements in the 21st century, these contributions were credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. I am talking about no one other than Rosalind Elise Franklin, quite possibly one of the greatest minds of the last century and arguably the biggest step in to creating the double helix DNA
