Note: Richard Haden Gordon left Nashville at the age of sixteen and came to New York. He got a job as a runner on Wall Street, working for the firm of DeCoppet and Doremus. During his early days in New York he roomed with another Wall Street runner, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., who later became one of the first Hollywood superstars. In my possession are two letters from Fairbanks asking his former roommate for an extension on a ten-dollar loan.

While working for DeCoppet and Doremus, Richard Gordon also attended New York University Law School. He was the class valedictorian in 1906, the only time in the history of the school that the valedictorian attended the night sessions. He was admitted to the bar that year and remained a member until his death, but never practiced law.

He bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange in 1911 and became a partner of DeCoppet in 1913. He would remain active on the Street until only a few years before his death in 1978 at the age of ninety-six.

By the late 1920's he was senior partner of DeCoppet, a post he would hold until 1940. During the 1930's, his friend Margaret Rudkin asked him to lend her $5000 to allow her to go into the bread business. He had the greatest doubts regarding the prospects of the business and did not want a friend to be in the position of owing him a large sum of money that she could not repay. So he offered instead to invest the $5000 in return for ten percent of the stock. She readily accepted. Twenty years later the firm, Pepperidge Farm, was sold to Campbell Soup for $27,000,000.

In 1940 he withdrew from active management of DeCoppet and in 1944 became a limited partner of Merrill Lynch. He would remain associated with that firm the rest of his life.

Although he always regretted his lack of formal education, he was widely and deeply read in both history and literature. He and his wife travelled all over the world. An honest and honorable man, he is remembered by all who had the privilege to know him with the greatest respect and affection.

Note: Richard Haden Gordon was named for a family friend and there is no blood relationship to the Haden family.

He enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private at the age of sixteen and fought at the first Battle of Bull Run and at Shiloh, rising to the rank of lieutenant during the course of his military career. On October 28th, 1863, he was captured by federal forces and spent the remainder of the war in a federal prison camp on an island in Lake Erie. I have in my possession a picture of him taken in 1866 wearing the coat of his Confederate uniform. It is framed with the orders he was carrying when he was captured.

After the war he became a pharmacist and was president of the Tennessee State Board of Pharmacy for ten years. He was a member of the state legislature for many years. In the 1890's, after some of his children moved to New York, he moved there as well. He was a vice president of the Tennessee Society of New York and a major in the United Confederate veterans organization.
