  • Obituary

    Sep. 23, 1914 Death: Jan. 8, 2003 Mr. Houseman was born Sept 23, 1914, in Marshalltown, Iowa, elder son of Frank and Blanche Houseman. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1936 with a degree in actuarial theory. He married the absolute love of his life, Elizabeth Caroline Ellis, on February 29, 1936. They were just one month shy of their 67th anniversary when Mr. Houseman passed. During World War II, Metropolitan Life in New York loaned him to the war department in Washington, D.C., to serve as a mathematician in the military planning division of the office of the quartermaster general. He worked at Mass Mutual in Springfield, Mass until autumn, 1952. At that time he moved to St. Louis to work for General American. In 1958, Mr. Houseman moved to Dallas to help establish the Dallas office of The Wyatt Co., which was an actuarial firm now known as Watson-Wyatt International. When Mr. Houseman joined the Wyatt Co., there were 19 associates in the office. When he retired in 1979, there were about 150. He was well respected by everyone with whom he had ever worked. A common description given by his colleagues was, "He was the smartest man I have ever known!" Mr. Houseman was a gifted clarinetist. He started playing the clarinet at about age 12. He won many awards in the state of Iowa. He continued playing the clarinet until three or four years ago. His love of music never waned. Mr. Houseman was also a gifted artist. He took up oil painting in the 1960s and painted many beautiful paintings that bring great pleasure to their owners. He is also survived by his and Elizabeth's daughters, Marilyn Strakowski of Nappanee, Ind., Patricia Houseman of Dallas, and Kathryn Lobert of Arlington. All of Mr. Houseman's nine grown grandchildren have fun and treasured memories of their grandfather, which will be shared with joy with their spouses and his great-grandchildren, currently numbered at 14. We were blessed to have called him husband, daddy and grandpa Family links: Spouse: Elizabeth Caroline Ellis Houseman (1914 - 2003) 1

In 1914, in the year that Raymond Frank Houseman was born, in August, the Panama Canal opened to traffic. Begun by the French in the 1880's and abandoned, the United States undertook further construction in 1904. After 10 years, and the elimination of malaria carrying mosquitoes (which caused immense delays for the French and the Americans), the 48 mile long artificial waterway - a series of locks - created a shortcut for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Did you know?
In 1938, by the time he was 24 years old, on June 25th (a Saturday) the Fair Labor Standards Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt (along with 120 other bills). The Act banned oppressive child labor, set the minimum hourly wage at 25 cents, and established the maximum workweek at 44 hours. It faced a lot of opposition and in fighting for it, Roosevelt said "Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, ...tell you...that a wage of $11 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry."
