Died. Leonor Fresnel Loree, 82, retired (1938) head of Delaware & Hudson Railroad; of a heart attack; at his mountain estate near West Orange, N.J. Among sleek, ICC-conscious latterday railroad presidents, massive (300-lb.), buffalo-bearded, uncompromising Leonor Loree seemed a gaudy symbol of the roaring '80s, when he began his long career. In 60 years he headed more roads, introduced more permanent operating innovations, made a higher salary ($100,000) than any surviving railroader. His last spectacular gesture came in 1933, when he bought his way (for $10,000,000) into the No. 1 stockholder's seat...

Railroad presidents who sigh when they think of the magnificent open-field technique of Vanderbilt, Harriman, Gould and Hill, sighed again last week when Leonor Fresnel Loree, on the point of turning 80. resigned as president of Delaware & Hudson Co.

But despite his age and looks, he was always only on the fringes of the swashbuckling, end-of-the-century railroad men who ran railroads, the stock-market and a few States. He was a Harriman man, less of a giant than a tall man with aspirations...

...stood Col. Leonard P. Ayres, Cleveland Trust Co.'s vice president-economist who bid in behalf of Mid-American Corp., especially chartered last week as the new top Van Sweringen holding company. Morgan Partner George Whitney was there with Morgan lawyers. Conspicuously absent was old bush-bearded Leonor Fresnel Loree, who has been built up in the Press as a likely Van Sweringen rival. And toward the rear was the iron-grey head of Oris Paxton Van Sweringen. Brother Mantis James did not attend...
