a military medal by the British Govern- ment. Citation :
During the operations against the Hindenburg line near Venduille, September 29, 1918, Sergeant Sanford gave proof of great devotion and bravery when he gallantly insisted upon remaining with his command, despite the fact that he had been seriously wounded in the leg. During the advance he later received other wounds from shell-fire, thereby demonstrating his courage and devotion to duty and setting a splendid example to his com- rades.
By command of General Pershing.
JAMES G. HARBORD, Chief of Staff.
He was in Battle-War Hospital No. 2, Reading, England, for about ten weeks. Sergeant Sanford married, in October, 1920, Frances Boughton.
WALSH, Hon. John J., Jurist, Public Official.
"On both sides of the sea" the profes- sion of the law has been largely and emi- nently recruited by men of Irish birth as the number of distinguished names which adorn the legal annals of the Old World and the New bear abundant witness. The bench and bar of the United States have always owed much of their prestige to the talents and services of their representa- tives of Irish blood, and at the present day the citizens of Fairfield county can testify that the Hon. John J. Walsh, of East Norwalk, Connecticut, judge of the Criminal Court of Common Pleas, ably maintains the best traditions of his race. Judge Walsh has always been active in the sphere of politics and has wielded a powerful influence in behalf of those prin- ciples which he believes constitute the foundation of all good government.
The name Walsh, or Walshe, signifies "a native of Wales," its first representatives in Ireland having been Philip and David, kinsmen and perhaps brothers, who,
459
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
in 1169, went thither with Strongbow and his followers. Like many other foreigners they adopted an Irish surname and title -Branaghs, from Breatrach, which, in Irish, signifies "a Briton," in allusion to their having come from Wales. Their de- scendants settled in various counties, be- coming so numerous that it was said "their numbers were equal to the nobility of their origin." Members of the family won distinction in the Stuart cause in 1688, and in the eighteenth century, or earlier, a branch was transplanted to the American colonies. Here, as in their an- cient home, many of them have achieved eminence in law, politics and divinity, many famous ecclesiastics having borne the family name. The escutcheon of the Walshes is as follows:
Arms-Argent, a chevron gules between three broad arrowheads, points upward, sable.
Crest-A swan pierced through the back and breast with a dart, all proper.
John Walsh, father of John J. Walsh, was born in County Cork, Ireland, and at the age of eighteen emigrated to the United States, settling in Randolph, Massachu- setts, where he learned the shoemaker's trade, which he made his lifelong occupa- tion. In 1851 he removed to Norwalk, Connecticut, and followed his trade there and in New Canaan until the outbreak of the Civil War. Like the loyal citizen he was, he enlisted without delay in the 12th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteer Infan- try, and, with the exception of one thirty- day furlough, was out the entire period of his three-year enlistment, reënlisting upon its expiration. While in service he was temporarily disabled by a sunstroke. In November, 1865, he returned home and moved from New Canaan to Norwalk, where he engaged in business on his own account as a custom shoemaker. He was a member of Buckingham Post, Grand Army of the Republic.
Mr. Walsh married Rose Burke, like himself a native of County Cork, Ireland, her father at one time superintendent of schools of the city of Cork. The Burkes were a literary family and some account of their origin is appended to this biogra- phy. The following children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Walsh: I. Margaret, widow of James Cole; of their children two are living: James and Thomas. 2. Anna, died unmarried. 3. John J., men- tioned below. 4. Rose, married James Hamilton, and has three children: Flor- ence, Mary, and Augustin. 5. Catherine, widow of James Boyle. 6. Annie, mar- ried Patrick Haugh, and has one child now living, Harry. 7. William, died leav- ing no children. 8. Francis, also died without issue. John Walsh, the father, died in 1892, at the age of seventy-seven.
John J. Walsh, son of John and Rose (Burke) Walsh, was born October 5, 1857, in Norwalk, Connecticut, and until his eighth year attended the public schools of New Canaan. From that time until the age of twelve he was in the public schools of South Norwalk. He then went to work in the woolen mill, but had been there only nine months when the new child labor law became effective and he was taken out. After attending school for nearly a year he was instructed two evenings a week by a tutor, H. B. Wig- gin. This continued for three years and at the end of that time he applied himself to the study of shorthand.
While receiving instruction from a tutor and also while studying shorthand, Mr. Walsh was learning the stonecutter's trade. It may seem that much mental progress was scarcely compatible with application to manual labor as strenuous as that of stonecutting. Mr. Walsh, how- ever, has always been a man with whom an intention is rarely suffered to remain an intention. Unless conditions render
46c
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
it absolutely impossible for it to do so, it must develop into action. Having the intention to acquire a knowledge of the law he would not allow his work as a stonecutter to frustrate that intention, and, hard as he might be obliged to labor during the day, his evenings were invari- ably devoted to study. When he had thoroughly mastered shorthand, Mr. Walsh entered the office of H. H. Barber, a well-known lawyer, who had established a local paper called "The Democrat," and of this Mr. Walsh became city editor. Never neglecting the duties of the posi- tion, he steadily pursued his legal stud- ies, and in April, 1880, he was admitted to the bar.
Entering immediately upon his chosen career, Mr. Walsh practiced alone for the ensuing twelve years. At the end of that time he formed a partnership with James T. Hubbell, under the firm name of Walsh & Hubbell. In the years during which he practiced alone he established, by sheer force of native ability, thorough equipment and unceasing devotion to duty, a reputation, both with the profes- sion and the general public, which has been the cornerstone of a career of bril- liant and well-merited success. During the period of his partnership this reputa- tion increased and strengthened, and he became a recognized leader of the Fair- field county bar.
In June, 1913, the partnership was dis- solved by reason of the fact that Mr. Walsh was then appointed by Governor Baldwin judge of the Criminal Court of Common Pleas, subsequently reappointed by Governor Holcomb. This court has both civil and criminal jurisdiction. His career upon the bench, in the evidence it furnished of his profound knowledge of the law, his insight into the motives and merits of men, and the judicial character of his mind, constitute one of the most
interesting and instructive chapters in the legal history of Fairfield county.
In the field of general public service, unconnected with the law, Judge Walsh has been equally prominent and useful, and his activities have been many and varied. He was a member of the commit- tee having in charge the building of the new Fairfield county court house at Bridgeport, Connecticut, was a member of the board of directors and building committee of the Norwalk Hospital, and was general counsel for the Norwalk Bridge Construction Committee which built the Washington street bridge.
From his youth Judge Walsh has taken an active interest in politics, always as an advocate of Democratic principles. In the campaign of 1876, being then but nine- teen years of age, he took the stump as a champion of Tilden, and after he be- came a voter, served for ten or twelve years as registrar of voters for the First District. For over fifteen years he was a member of the State Central Committee, and for about eight years served as its chairman. He has been district delegate to conventions without number, including the national conventions in which Bryan and Parker were nominated. For a num- ber of years he was prosecuting attorney for the city of Norwalk, filling the office in a manner highly satisfactory to all good citizens.
Until his elevation to the bench, Judge Walsh was for some years a director of the Fairfield County Savings Bank. He affiliates with the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks, and his clubs are the Catholic, the Norwalk, and the Norwalk Yacht. Yachting is his favorite recrea- tion, and during the season he spends the greater part of his leisure time on his boat.
Judge Walsh married, October 4, 1884, Julia Finnegan, daughter of Dennis and
461
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
Mary (Wallace) Finnegan. The record of Judge Walsh, both at the bar and on the bench, is that of a high-minded man, faithful to the noble traditions of his chosen profession. His many years of disinterested service in the political arena have been inspired by genuine public spirit, and there seems to be little doubt that his fellow-citizens will, in the near future, summon him to assume greater trusts and larger responsibilities.
(The Burke Line).
This ancient race is classed, with the Butlers and Fitzgeralds, among the most distinguished of the Norman-Irish fami-
lies. The name Burke, or Burgh, signifies "a place of defense or safety."
William Fitz-Aldelm de Burgo was a kinsman of William the Conqueror and accompanied Henry the Second to Ire- land. He was appointed by that monarch Lord Justice of Ireland, and his descend- ants settled in numerous counties. They were distinguished in the army, the church, literature and statecraft, both in Europe and America. In the Civil War the family was gallantly represented. The Burkes are entitled to display the fol- lowing escutcheon :
Arms-Or, a cross gules on the dexter canton a lion rampant sable.
