• William R. Federici, 1917-2009 Ex-N.M. Chief Justice Known for 'Sterling Character'

William R. Federici, former chief justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court, died Wednesday at his home on the east side of Santa Fe. He was 92. Federici was born July 15, 1917, in Cimarron, the son of Narcisco and Divina Federici, who immigrated to the United States from Spezia, Italy, in 1903. For years, his family operated a dance hall in the tiny village of Colfax, five miles south of the once-booming coal-mining town of Dawson.
