Who died on the Titanic?
There was a small contingent of Philadelphians on the ship, some who were returning home from a trip to the pyramids in Egypt. One of the people in this group was William Crothers Dulles, uncle to CIA Director Allen Dulles and US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Another was Major Archibald Willingham Butt, a Military Aide to both Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. Both these passengers perished in the sinking which of course happened in 1912, a year before the Federal Reserve Act was established.
