This board presents Justice Willis Van Devanter #63 (1859-1941) together with Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar #64(1857–1916) [Lamar is another difficult autograph to find as, he too, died just after less than 5 years of service. One day less.] Lamar was the cousin of L.Q.C. Lamar (#49) in youth Lamar lived next door to future President Woodrow Wilson. He became an experienced Justice from Georgia. The doctor who treated Lamar cited the cause of death as overwork due to his Supreme Court activities.
