Robert Hansell Sagendorph (***1900***-July 4, 1970)

"Editor and publisher of The Old Farmer's Almanac since 1939"

"After graduating from Harvard College and Business School, he worked briefly in his family's steel business but in 1930 left the city to become a writer and farmer in Dublin, N.H. When his articles were rejected by other magazines, he was not discouraged -- he simply started Yankee Magazine, a New England regional magazine which [had] a circulation of 450,000 monthly."

"Mrs. John F. Kennedy honored Mr. Sagendorph by appointing him a member of the National Hisotric Trust; his home state of New Hampshire appointed him to the 1976 Bicentennial Commission..."

"But closest to his heart after his vocation as a publisher was his loyalty to the Town of Dublin which he served as Selectman and Moderator for over 25 years."
