Samuel Aaron DeWitt was a businessman, poet and politician. He was a New York State Legislator who represented Bronx's 7th district from 1919 until his expulsion from the assembly in 1920 during the First Red Scare. DeWitt was born on November 1891 in Jackson, New York, he was an active Socialist throughout his life. DeWitt first applied for membership in the Socialist Party on August 29, 1913. Sam Dewitt is most famous for being expelled in 1920 from the New York State Assembly along with four fellow assemblymen for being members of the Socialist Party; the five Socialists were barred from taking their seats at the beginning of the session of the 143rd New York State Legislature and, after a protracted "trial" before the Assembly Committee on the Judiciary, defended by Morris Hillquit and Seymour Stedman, were expelled on April 1. All five were re-elected at a special election on September 16, appeared to take their seats at the beginning of the special session on September 20; the next day, DeWitt and Samuel Orr were permitted to take their seats, but August Claessens, Charles Solomon and Louis Waldman were expelled again.

Protesting against the re-expulsion of their comrades, DeWitt and Orr resigned their seats. Afterwards DeWitt was a frequent candidate for political office, without success, he ran in the Bronx 7th District in 1924 and 1926, for Bronx borough president in 1925, for the Bronx 3rd District in 1927 and 1929, the Queens 4th District in 1932. DeWitt made several unsuccessful campaigns for United States Congress, running in the 22nd District of New York in 1928, the 2nd District of New York in 1934 and once again in 1935. During the bitter faction fights of the 1930s in the Socialist Party, DeWitt authored a weekly piece for The Socialist Call, a newspaper published each Saturday in New York City in opposition to the journal of the Old Guard faction, The New Leader. DeWitt authored a regular column called "Turn to the Left," in which he expounded upon his political beliefs. While not accepting the Old Guard's extreme gradualist approach, neither was DeWitt a communist. With regard to the Communist Party's efforts to establish a united front in 1935, DeWitt wrote: "I can only deplore capacity for hatred.

I can only distrust their sincerity when they call me to a'united front.' I can only say to them:'Lenin was a great teacher and undoubtedly a great leader. But he was a human. "It is quite possible that he erred when he instructed you to treat Socialists who believed in achieving revolution through democracy in other lands, as enemies of the workers. It is quite possible that he was wrong in his decision that all means foul, must be used against the enemies of the masses.... It is possible that Socialists have a right to question whether Lenin or you or any of your committees are God.'" The battle between the Old Guard headed by Louis Waldman against a bloc of the Militant faction of Jack Altman with the "Progressive" group headed by Norman Thomas came to a head in the last days of 1935. DeWitt sided decisively with the latter grouping, breaking ranks with his long-time comrades of the Old Guard. DeWitt stood as a candidate for the New York State Committee of the SPA as part of the Progressive/Militant slate in the April 2, 1936, New York primaries and he won election in Queens County Assembly District 4.

The Progressive/Militant bloc won a comfortable majority of seats on the State Committee in this election. In a last-gasp effort to retain power, New York Socialist Party State Chairman Waldman called a snap reorganizational meeting on 3 days' notice after the certification of the primary results, to be held in the distant city of Buffalo, as was his prerogative under that state constitution; the Old Guard was defeated in this effort to outmaneuver their opposition with timing and geography and Harry W. Laidler defeated Waldman in his bid for re-election at the April reorganizational meeting by a vote of 60-42. DeWitt was elected State Treasurer of the Socialist Party of New York at this session. DeWitt was a long-time friend of left wing writer Upton Sinclair. In Sinclair's famous muckraking novel The Jungle, published in 1906, one of the main characters, Nicolas Schliemann, is said to be based on Sam DeWitt. Throughout his life, DeWitt was publishing books in both genres. From the 1930s, Sam DeWitt was the President and Treasurer of the DeWitt Tool Company, with offices at 252 Lafayette Street in New York City.

The firm bought and sold used machinery and equipment, included among its services the liquidation of defunct industrial plants. The company had for its slogan "The House of a Thousand Bargains."DeWitt died on January 22, 1963 in Yonkers, New York. He was survived by his wife Augusta, who died in 1985.

He was a consulting architect to the United States government from 1905 to 1914, he was born on June 1872 in Akron, Ohio. He was educated at Yale University, École des Beaux-Arts in Paris During the early years of American reconstruction in the Philippines, at the height of the City Beautiful movement, the former Governor-General of the Philippines, Howard Taft, initiated a comprehensive building construction and city planning in the country, he was the United States Secretary of War when he instructed William Cameron Forbes a member of the Philippine Commission, to engage competent advice on this subject. He induced architect Daniel H. Burnham, the leading spirit in the architectural design and construction of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, to visit the islands, which he did together with his designer, Pierce Anderson, making general preliminary plans for the cities of Manila and Baguio.

This was followed by the recommendation that an architect of suitable training and experience be appointed as consulting architect for the Government. Parsons was appointed for the job. At the time of his selection he was practicing architecture in New York City, having graduated from École des Beaux-Arts, Paris. With enthusiastic ambition, the best heritage of a thorough French training, he went to Manila in November, 1905. Under the terms of his appointment as a consulting architect created by the Philippine Commission Act No. 1495, he was given general architectural supervision over the design of all public buildings and parks throughout the islands, including provincial and municipal work as well as insular. He was charged with interpretation of the preliminary plans prepared by Messrs. Burnham and Anderson for Manila and Baguio, it remained for the American architect to establish city plans and buildings of a permanent nature suited to the needs and requirements of a tropical country. He received a salary from the Government which paid the cost of etc..

He was allowed to engage in private practice, maintained a separate office during most of his years in Manila. He served until February, 1914, resigning because "there seemed to be no further progress to be made under the scuttle policy of the present administration." He was replaced by his assistant, George Corner Fenhagen, as the Consulting Architect of the Philippine government. One of the features of local architecture he adopted on his design at the high-end Manila Hotel, was the use of Capiz shells for window sash in place of glass; the Capiz shell is a flat sea shell about 4 inches in diameter. It is trimmed down to squares, they give a soft pearly light. One of the most widespread designs of Parsons is the Gabaldon schoolhouse; these are school buildings constructed in the Philippines between 1907 and 1946 and named after the late assemblyman Isauro Gabaldon of Nueva Ecija, who authored the Gabaldon Act which appropriated P1 million for the construction of modern public schools nationwide.

He died on December 1939 at his home in New Haven, Connecticut.
