Young Men's Democratic Club of Massachusetts[edit]
There is some interesting history to unearth on the position of president of this club, and that Sherman Hoar was later elected as a Democrat to Congress.
Sherman Hoar's father, uncle, cousin and grandfather were prominent Republicans, with the grandfather chairing the convention that led to the founding of the Republican party of Massachusetts. The year 1884 was the emergence of the reform-minded and youthfully energized Mugwumps, many of whom defected of from the Republican Party, not supporting Republican Senator James Blaine of Maine for President, preferrring New Yorker Democrat Grover Cleveland. The Hoar family tradition for probity in public service probably has some influence on Sherman Hoar here. -- Yellowdesk 05:32, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I usually just make corrections (and will here unless contested) when I see some "end of life" mention, be it a section, sub-section, or such mention in another section or sub-section, concerning "Death", "Death and burial", "Assassination", or some other title reflecting end of life, that should be at the end of the article body, with few exceptions. Things such as "Legacy", "Memorials", "Descendants" or "Ancestry", "Honours" or "Honors" (after death), "Tributes", and Bibliography are natural after an end of life section. Section titles such as "Family" should not be in an order after the subject has died such as Abdullah I of Jordan and a "Marriages and children" section after an "Assassination" section.
