And as she looked around, she saw how Death the consoler, Laying his hand upon many a heart, had healed it forever.

James Francis Byrnes

James Francis Byrnes (May 2, 1879 - April 9, 1972) was an American politician from the state of South Carolina. During his career, Byrnes served as a member of the House of Representatives (1911 - 1925), as a Senator (1931 - 1941), as Justice of the Supreme Court (1941 - 1942), as Secretary of State (1945 - 1947), and as Governor of South Carolina (1951 - 1955). He therefore became one of very few politicians to be active in all three branches of the federal government while also being active in state government. He was also a confidant of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was one of the most powerful men in American domestic and foreign policy in the mid-1940s.
