- Julian Hawthorne, the son of novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, was born in Boston, MA, in 1846. The family moved to Liverpool, England, where his father was American consul, when Julian was seven. In 1863 he returned to the US, enrolling in the Lowell Scientific School at Harvard University, after which he returned to Europe to do postgraduate work at a polytechnic school in Dresden, Germany. In 1870 he returned to the US and took a position as a hydrographic engineer for the city of New York's Docks Department. Four years later, however, he left the US again, this time to take a position as a staff writer on "The Spectator" magazine in London, where he spent seven years.
He began writing novels, but found it difficult to escape comparisons to his famous father, and soon acquired a reputation for being capricious and irritable, seeking to shock critics with the subject matters of his works. He averaged writing three to four books a year and one of them, "A Fool of Nature"--written using the pseudonym "Judith Hollinshed"--won a $10,000 prize offered by the New York Herald, which then hired him as an investigative reporter and sent him to India to cover a famine and plague devastating the country.
By 1900 he had decided to give up writing fiction, and concentrated on history, short stories and syndicated columns and articles. He also wrote several books based on the experiences of Inspector Byrnes, a renowned New York City detective. In 1913 he was sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in a scheme that sold stock in worthless gold mines. He entered the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary on March 26, but served only several months before he was released, after which he left for California. He was hired by the Pasadena (CA) Star-News, where he spent 17 years as the editor of the Book page.
He died in 1934 in San Francisco, CA. - Alfred Perceval Graves was born on 22 July 1846 in Ireland. Alfred Perceval was a writer, known for The Post-Bag (1938). Alfred Perceval died on 27 December 1931.

Poet Emma Lazarus was born into a wealthy family in New York City on July 22, 1849. Her first book of poems, "Poems and Translations", was published in 1867, when she was just 18. Renowned author Ralph Waldo Emerson was impressed with her work and praised it, and her next book, "Admetus and Other Poems" in 1871, was dedicated to him. She published a string of well-received poems and verse works over the next few years.
In 1881 she became involved in the plight of the new waves of immigrants to the US, and became a strong advocate of the rights of immigrants, an unpopular stance during a time when many immigrant groups--especially those of Eastern Europe and Ireland--were under attack by anti-immigrant groups in the US, who said they were "polluting" US culture. Her most famous work, "The New Colossus", was chosen to be the inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty, welcoming immigrants coming into New York harbor. It contains what are among the most well-known words in the English language: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".
She published her last book in 1887, and died in New York City on November 19 that year.- Music Department

- Even before the introduction of radio in the early twentieth century, Tobey had become a most familiar boxing and wrestling announcer in the Los Angeles area. In time, those following the fights on radio, and later on TV, would come to know the unmistakable voice and cadence of Dan Tobey. Fight fans whooped with delight as Tobey initiated each bout with his piercing and steadily rising delivery, theatrical vocal renderings, and the dramatic staccato gestures which accompanied them. Dan died on March 9, 1956 and his obituary was posted in the Los Angeles Times the following day; the death notice reported he had been ring announcer at Naud Junction (the Naud Junction Arena, built in the early 1900s and home to nine world championship contests); then at the Vernon Arena (which succeeded the Naud Junction), Hollywood Legion Stadium, the 'Olympic Auditorium'. Tobey also announced auto races at Washington Park, and baseball games for the Vernon Tigers of the 'Pacific Coast League', before retiring on December 7, 1952.
