Biographical/Historical Information

James Howe Latimer was born in Nashville, Tennessee on 17 June 1913 to Hugh Darington and Ollie Mai Howe Latimer. His grandfather, James Howard Latimer, born in Culverton, Georgia on 24 December 1843 and died in 1934, served with Company I of the 49th Georgia Infantry during the Civil War and was active in the United Confederate Veterans after the war.

Latimer attended the Baylor School, a military preparatory school, in Chattanooga, Tennessee and graduated from the University of Chattanooga in 1935. He studied history and economics at the University of Chattanooga and served as editor of the student newspaper, The University Echo. As a senior in 1934, he joined the Chattanooga Times as a police reporter and church editor, earning $15 a week.

He worked as a reporter and copy editor for the Chattanooga Times until 1937 when he was hired as a reporter at the Richmond Times- Dispatch, beginning a career that spanned six decades. From 1937-1943, Latimer was a reporter and acting state editor. During World War II, he served in the United States Army from 1943-1945, first in the infantry and later in the overseas branch of the Office of War Information. After the war, Latimer resumed working at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. His principal assignment involved covering Virginia politics, state government, the governor's office, legislative sessions, and state and national political conventions. In addition to his duties for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Latimer was also the principal Virginia correspondent for Time, Life, and Fortune magazines and wrote an occasional article on Virginia politics for the New York Herald Tribune and Baltimore Sun. He also contributed to Sports Illustrated, the Louisville Courier-Journal, the University of Virginia News Letter, and the Commonwealth Magazine.

From the mid-1970's to the late 1980's, Latimer, in cooperation with Central Virginia Educational Television (the local PBS affiliate) and the Richmond Times- Dispatch, wrote and hosted "The Living History Makers," a series of programs in which former governors and other politicians of Virginia, including William M. Tuck, Colgate W. Darden, J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., Mills E. Godwin, Jr., Albertis S. Harrison  next hit, Harry F. Byrd, Jr., Henry E. Howell, Jr., A. Linwood Holton, and John N. Dalton, reminisced about Virginia politics. Considered the dean of Virginia's political reporters, Latimer received the George Mason Award from the Richmond chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists in 1979 for outstanding contributions to Virginia journalism, and was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame in 1987. In 1987, the University of Virginia, with a $50,000 gift from an anonymous donor, started the James H. Latimer Endowed Fellowship Fund to support graduate studies in government.

Although retired in 1981, Latimer continued to enlighten readers of the Richmond Times-Dispatch with columns and articles noted for taking a long view of Virginia politics. His last article, an interview with Harry F. Byrd, Jr. containing advice for the Virginia Republican Party on their new legislative majority, was published in December 1999.

Latimer married Anna Mary McCrary (3 September 1915 - 16 June 1993) on 28 September 1938 and had one son, James Darington Latimer, born 27 December 1941. James Howe Latimer died on 7 April 2000 after a brief illness.
