Note1981Russell A. Firestone, Iii and Myrna Odell Firestone, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. the Cleveland Trust Company and Russell A. Firestone, Jr., Defendants- Appellees., 654 F.2d 1212 (6th Cir. 1981)
Federal Circuits, Sixth Circuit (July 30, 1981)

This ongoing domestic relations dispute began when Myrna Odell Firestone obtained a divorce from Russell A. Firestone, Jr., in a Florida state court in 1974. The 1974 divorce decree spawned further litigation between Myrna and Russell Firestone, Jr., in the Florida circuit and appellate courts. Mrs. Firestone and her son, Russell Firestone, III, filed the present action in the district court against Russell Firestone, Jr., and the Cleveland Trust Company,2 the trustee of several trusts for which Russell Firestone, Jr., is the beneficiary. Mrs. Firestone and her son seek money damages, declaratory and injunctive relief for the alleged failure of her former husband to meet his obligations under the divorce decree, and for Cleveland Trust's refusal to pay the support obligations of Russell Firestone, Jr., out of trust proceeds.
On February 25, 1974, the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida, issued a final judgment of dissolution of marriage between Myrna Firestone and Russell A. Firestone, Jr. The final judgment incorporated a property settlement agreement executed by Mr. and Mrs. Firestone, and awarded custody of their child, Russell, III, to Mrs. Firestone. The property agreement imposed alimony and child support obligations upon Russell Firestone, Jr., and provided for the sale or division of jointly held personal and real property. The duties and obligations of both parties were numerous, and performance of those duties necessarily extended over a number of years.
Mrs. Firestone filed a motion for contempt on December 26, 1975, in the Dade County Circuit Court alleging that Mr. Firestone had failed to abide by the settlement agreement incorporated into the divorce decree. The Dade County Circuit Court retained jurisdiction over the case pursuant to Fla.Stat. §§ 61.13 and 61.14. The motion alleged Russell Firestone, Jr. was delinquent in the payment of alimony, child support, attorney fees, and miscellaneous financial obligations amounting to a substantial sum. A hearing on the motion on January 8, 1976, was continued until February 27, 1976, and continued again until March 5, 1976, with no order entered. Mrs. Firestone amended her complaint on January 18, 1977, to allege only a violation of the settlement agreement concerning mortgage payments on the marital home on La Gorce Island, Florida. On March 11, 1977, a hearing was conducted on the sale of the La Gorce Island property, but no order resulted. Finally, on May 19, 1977, Mrs. Firestone filed a motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice, which was granted by the Dade County Circuit Court.
Next Mrs. Firestone, individually and on behalf of her minor son Russell, III, filed the present action on February 14, 1978, in the district court. The complaint, grounded upon diversity jurisdiction, named Russell Firestone, Jr. and the Cleveland Trust Company as defendants and contained seven claims for relief. Claim I alleged Russell Firestone, III was a beneficiary of the Harbel Trust,3 asserted that Cleveland Trust's mismanagement and waste had caused loss to the corpus and income, and demanded an accounting and replacement of the sums lost. Claim II accused Cleveland Trust of filing a complaint in an Ohio state court for the purpose of insulating itself from liability to the trust beneficiaries for past and future breaches of its fiduciary duties. This second claim sought an injunction restraining Cleveland Trust from continuing the state court action or modifying the trust agreement, demanded removal of Cleveland Trust as the trustee, and requested compensatory and punitive damages.

ObituaryPeter Houghton, 68, first artificial heart recipient
By Los Angeles Times

December 8, 2007
Daily Hampshire Gazette

Peter Houghton, the world's longest-surviving recipient of an artificial heart, died Nov. 25 at a hospital in his home city of Birmingham, England. He was 68.

The cause of death was multiple organ failure, but physicians had to disconnect the battery on the artificial heart before he could be declared dead.

Houghton received the Jarvik 2000 artificial heart in June 2000, three years after he had suffered a massive heart attack caused by the viral flu. The pump was implanted by Dr. Stephen Westaby at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford - the first time the pump developed by Dr. Robert Jarvik had been tested in a human.

Westaby said the other six patients in whom the pump had been implanted had not survived nearly as long as Houghton.

The Jarvik pump is designed to support the body's blood circulation until a donor heart becomes available for a transplant, but Houghton's age and medical condition ruled him out as a transplant recipient. At the time of the surgery, his heart had deteriorated until it had only 10 percent of normal function, he was barely able to walk and doctors gave him only a few weeks to live. Two weeks after the surgery, he went for a two-mile walk. He was active in charity work during the seven extra years of life he received, participating in a 90-mile charity walk, hiking the Alps, traveling to support heart research, writing two books and raising millions of dollars for other victims of heart attacks.

But in the past few months, his deteriorating condition forced him into a nursing home and eventually into the hospital where he died.

Houghton was a former amateur rugby player before his heart attack. Trained as a psychologist, he worked at Middlesex Hospital, counseling patients who were on the verge of death. Doctors thought that experience helped make him a good candidate for the experimental procedure.

The Jarvik device is a small turbine pump, about the size of a man's thumb, that is implanted next to the heart's left ventricle to help circulate blood. A thin wire runs up the chest and out of the head behind the ear so that the device's battery pack can be attached. Although Houghton suffered several infections in the battery receptacle, the head is considered a safer and more hygienic spot for it.

The battery pack was carried in a camera case slung over his shoulder.

The surgery had one unexpected benefit: By easing the workload on Houghton's heart, it permitted the heart to recuperate partially. In the past year, his heart had returned to about 30 percent of normal function, allowing him to be off the device for brief periods, as when changing the batteries.

That became important when a thief tried to grab the camera case while Houghton was shopping in London. When the battery was disconnected, a loud alarm went off, startling the thief and causing him to drop the case. Houghton had the presence of mind to reconnect the device.

Before the surgery, doctors had told Houghton that he had only a 30 percent to 50 percent chance of survival, so he put all of his affairs in order, had last rites performed by his priest and said goodbye to his friends.

"My only fear was that it would work but I'd be left as a `vegetable,' " he later told the Birmingham Post. "I'd made my peace with everyone so I didn't want to be a burden."

Houghton is survived by his wife Diane. The pair had no biological children but had served as foster parents to 11 children.1
NotableThe world's longest-surviving recipient of an artificial heart
BiographyPeter was a strong supporter of the British Labour Party, the World Transhumanist Association, and the IEET. He lived well past the projected life expectancy that had been predicted for him after he received his heart assist device, and worked tirelessly on behalf of Britons with heart disease and those needing artificial organs, through the Heart Failure Foundation and Extra Life Foundation. After his operation, Houghton became a tireless charity worker. He travelled the world to publicise the artificial heart programme at the Radcliffe infirmary, Oxford, which had so benefited him, and took part in a sponsored 80-mile walk from Birmingham to Oxford to help to raise more than £1m. That money was used to fund six more heart pump implants in Oxford. He and his wife, Diane, had no children but helped to raise 13 foster children, some of whom were with him when he died.

Wikipedia:
Peter Houghton (20 August 1938 – 25 November 2007) was the longest surviving artificial heart transplant patient in the UK.[1][2]

Houghton was implanted with a Jarvik 2000 heart pump at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, England, by professor Stephen Westaby, on 20 June 2000 owing to severe heart failure. Since the operation, the left ventricular assist device has worked continuously supporting his heart, breaking the previous world duration record on 11 August 2004 at 1,513 days.[3]

The record represents the survival of both the person and the artificial heart. A few individuals have lived longer than 1,512 days but with two artificial hearts, having the first surgically replaced due to failure or wear.

Houghton was the first person in the world to be given an artificial heart for permanent use rather than as a bridge to transplantation.

An educated psychotherapist, Houghton has written a book, "The World Within Me," in which he contemplates how receiving the transplant challenges his devout Catholicism. He also reports that, ironically, the heart transplant has left him largely devoid of emotion.[4]

He died on November 25, 2007 at Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital at the age of 69 years. The cause of death was given as multiple organ failure.[5]

CorrespondJul, 2009Dear John, I am related to the Corning Houghtons that you see on the Corning site. My grandfather's grandfather, Amory Houghton Sr and his son Amory Jr. brought their glass company to Corning after the Civil War. You can read about it on the Corning, Inc or the Corning, New York sites. We are a very tight knit family and consider Corning our "family" home. I actually lived in Corning as a child because my father worked for the company for a few years before moving on to a job elsewhere. The Corning Archives has the company records and our personal family memorabilia.
You and I are descended from the two cousins who came to America in the 1600's. My family is descended from John Houghton and you are from Ralph Houghton. Both families eventually settled in western Massachusetts in Lancaster before many of the younger members decided to move into New York state and other places. So because the diary of Rev Royal Houghton was written by a descendant of Ralph Houghton, not John, we determined that it should not be kept in the archives.
I actually discovered the diary and thought it was one from my family. I had been looking through the boxes in the Archives that came from my great grandfather's attic. I asked the archivist if she would mind copying the diary for me so I could read it at a later time. When she was in the process she realized that none of the names or places were familiar to her so=2 0she asked me to do the research to find out who the author was.
That is when we realized that the author was a descendant of Ralph Houghton and we needed to find a new home for the diary. The archives are very small and cannot keep odds and ends that do not pertain to the Corning Amory Houghton family, as much as they would like to.
I hope this answers your questions as to the discovery of the diary and our search for a descendant of the Rev. Royal Houghton.
As far as the Ralph Houghton line, I am not that familiar with that side of the family and their history. Mostly, it is just what I have learned from doing research online. Dr. Villa has been wonderful to do all of the most recent work on the two families and if you are interested in the most recent information, that is a place to start. Just make sure that you "click" on the Ralph Houghton list, not the John one or you will be very confused.
Best Regards, Jane :) [Jane Hadley]



And further from,

Cousin Jane: The dairy ends on the last page of the notebook. Is there anything in the diary to suggest that there is a continuation to this diary?
Cheers

Dear John,
There was just the one diary in the box, so I assume that is all we have. If I come across another one, I will let you know, bit it is doubtful as I have already looked through all the boxes the archives has from that time period. I still think my ancestor was probably given the one we had to read, but it was never returned for some reason. Since it is not a direct relative of ours, it must have ended up with his things by accident.
Jane

Clearly, in my humble estimation, the fact of the diary being in the possession of Amory Houghton's family shows a clear connection between the houses of these "cousins", John and Ralph. Of course, this may have been transparent through other documentation; here I would have to defer to you all's far greater depth and breadth of knowledge in Houghton genealogy.

I understood from cousin Jane that she had already been in contact with you about this matter in some manner or other. Nonetheless, this and previous correspondence to you contained the bulk of Jane's correspondence with me.

Respectfully
jbf

I am next door to the University of Texas library system where there are undoubtedly folks who run into this type of thing all the time. Short of that I have no other incites.

En passant the citation should include the discoverer more deservingly than I.

I think that having it scanned in digital form would be a wonderful way to make it available to researchers. I would obviously love to see it in some form to see if it contains any new genealogical data for the Houghton line. If it is digitalized then I would certainly want a copy to include online on the Houghton website (citing you as donator of course).

Note2015Sent some family history.
BiographyJohn Fulton: Circa 1946 I rejoined my mother after living with foster parents from the age of 6 mo. to 5.5 years. Given the facts of today Harris had died and Virginia was in mother's apartment at 3715 81st Jackson Heights New York waiting to see me before she died that very same year. She was blind but took her hands and put them around my face saying "what a beautiful child".

There are some letters from my mother describing some aspects of his life, Medical Doctor M.D., place of birth, how he tried to save his wife's sight.....

Ps I am and was aware of the "Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" affair. And as a poignant note my interest in astronomy (I am an astronomy Professor at Austin community College) which came from reading Harris's Syracuse University astronomy notes (very neatly written) as a child.

My mother had a boy Edward Dudley Fulton by George Howard Fulton and then divorced. I was the product of a liaison between her and a recently retired naval officer (Howard Morse Kelly* was forced to retire due to a drinking problem). He disappears ( I found out about his life in the last year) and she is unable to care for me and Eddy. After about six months of living with her parents ( Harris and Virginia) she put me with foster parents (aunt Jo and Uncle Ed -- their son is alive and I have spoken to him once in a very friendly way for about 10 minutes by phone and now he has stopped communicating).

"Aunt Jo" told me later that they tried to adopt me. At that moment my mother reclaimed me. She had remarried to a Leonard De volls Clarke, a railroader. I had his name through all my schooling. When I joined the Air Force, I needed a legal name so I reverted to my birth name Fulton. Note this is not my biological father's name!

At any rate I lived with my mother and stepfather (to me he was my father) until I went away to college.

2015: The adoption thing with Katherine, it does not seem at this point definitive pro-adoption. More thought and sleuthing will be needed.

I am inhibited by not a clear understanding of my Mother's early life with Virginia and Harris.

As a slight connection to this problem, I lived with foster parents from 0.5 yrs until 5.5 years, when Katherine was notified by "Aunt Jo and Uncle" that they were going to adopt me. My mother, married to my step father at this point, said no and took me back underher newly formed household.

Needless to say, (even not withstanding my bastard son status vis a vis my father and non-married condition of my mother at birth) is a bit of an olio.

Enough of my family background.

BiographyWhile seeking a MA and PHD in Political Science at Syracuse University, I received a graduate fellowship of $500 from the Theta Foundation. I think it was in 1964 or 65, but for sure it was the first year that the Foundation made such awards, (now “scholarships”). I received my MA in 1965 and PhD in 1968. To date, I have taught (in order) at Hobart and William Smith Colleges; University of Tennessee, Knoxville; University of Minnesota; Miami University; University of North Florida. During these 40 years, I published a good bit of research and a book. I also spent close to 20 years in senior administrative positions. I was academic vice president at Minnesota and Miami, acting president at Miami, and president at the University of North Florida. I resigned as president of UNF in 2002 because of multiple surgeries and significant health problems. I am okay now and have returned to teaching for the last five years. The Foundation fellowship was my first really big boost in my career track, and I will always be grateful for Theta's help in launching my career. Over the years, I have tried to help Theta by serving on various Foundation boards and was, for several years, the National Director of Scholarship.

OriginSpringville, UT, USA1
Partner
BurialAustria
NoteThe Kelly's of Springville Utah descend from one Joseph Kelly, early Mormon settler with 18 offspring. My grand father Thomas Rollo Kelly was the youngest. His son Howard had a daughter (my half sister who lives in Santa Rosa and ten years older than I). I met her for the first time this past spring. There is also a boy in China that is his sibling. I have not met him.
You may find Howard on the web under Kelly's Snacks, a Viennese Company he founded many years ago = 20 Mil Euros sales last year.
