  Fannie Ward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fannie Ward (June 22, 1872 - January 27, 1952) was both a famous vaudeville and silent film actress.
Ward's daughter by first husband Lewis married into British society, and she sailed for Europe where she spent much of her time.
Her daughter died in a plane crash in 1938, and Ward lost her husband in 1950.

 Commission Opinion: Kenneth R. Ward: Rel. No. 33-8210 / March 19, 2003
Ward acknowledged at the hearing that, when he was recommending the 115 SD to the City of Bryan, he was aware that the dealer median PSA was much lower than the range of PSAs he had used as an assumption in the analysis he provided to the city.
In this proceeding, Ward's testimony was the only evidence supporting his claim that he made the appropriate disclosures to city officials, and the only evidence suggesting that city officials were not forthcoming about their contacts with Ward and their level of sophistication and appreciation of the risks associated with inverse floaters.
Ward's recommendation of the 115 SD, in particular, was unsuitable for the City of Bryan because, at the time of the recommendation, the instrument had a projected dealer median PSA that made its anticipated maturity approach thirty years, far exceeding Bryan's specified maturity needs.

Fifth Ward, home to such political luminaries as Barbara Jordon and visited by jazz greats Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald, was once a thriving, tightly knit African-American community with a vibrant economy, became known, more recently, as "Bloody Fifth" for its high murder rate.
Today, in part to Fifth Ward CRC and their development of Lyons Village, families, who once had fled, are coming back and new residents and businesses are joining them.

Broadway star Fannie Ward plays an irresponsible socialite who uses the charity funds entrusted to her to play the stock market.
When her husband gives her a gift of $10,000, Ward tries to call off her deal with Hayakawa, but the enraged oriental calls her a cheat; wrestling her to the floor, he brands the woman with a symbol signifying that she belongs to him.
Logically, Ward should now be charged with the crime, but this is 1915: the all-white courtroom spectators pounce upon Hayakawa, nearly killing the poor fellow, and Ward and her husband are exonerated.
