JOHN H. MORRIS. SAINT LOUIS.


JOHN HENRY MORRIS, of the firm of Burgess and Morris, is a son of Sam- uel and Eliza (Harris) Morris, and was born in Henderson, Kentucky, June 1, 1833. Both parents were natives of South Carolina. They left Kentucky when John was four years old, and settled on a farm in Vincennes, Indiana, where he had a good opportunity to develop his muscle by tilling the soil, and slight oppor- tunities for developing his mind in a log school'house. He is largely self-edu- cated.


In 1860 Mr. Morris went to Leavenworth, Kansas; worked in a barber's shop and by and by commenced reading law during his leisure time. In October, 1864, he raised a company of one hundred and fifteen men in two or three hours, and assisted in repelling Sterling Price from that part of the country.


He was admitted to the bar in 1871 at Leavenworth, where he practiced until 1874, and then went to Texas and engaged in teaching school. Three or four years later he resumed his legal studies; came to Saint Louis; was reexamined, and here admitted to the bar in April, 1880. The firm of Burgess and Morris was formed in July, 1883, and has a general practice among the colored people in the civil and criminal courts.


Like most of the voters of his nationality, Mr. Morris trains in the republican ranks.


He was married in 1872 to Miss Maggie A. Dutton, a teacher in the public schools of Leavenworth, and a native of Saint Louis. They have four children.


HON. THOMAS J. C. FAGG. SAINT LOUIS.


T HOMAS JAMES CLARK FAGG was a prominent figure at the bar or on the bench in Pike county for more than thirty years, and he was also a leading spirit among the Union men during the late civil war. He has held a variety of public offices, civil and military, and in all has shown himself every inch a man. He is a Virginian by birth, the light first dawning upon him in Albemarle

county, July 15, 1822. His father, John Fagg, was a farmer in that state, and when Burgoyne's army was sent as prisoners to Virginia, it occupied part of that farm. John Fagg married Elizabeth W. Oglesby, a relative of ex-Governor Richard J. Oglesby, of Illinois, and in 1836 moved his family to this state, and settled in Pike county.


Thomas finished his education at Illinois College, Jacksonville, the death of his brother causing him to leave before completing the full course. He com- menced reading law at that place with Murray McConnell and James A. McDou- gal, the latter becoming afterward United States senator from California, and finishing with Hon. Gilchrist Porter, then of Bowling Green, now of Hannibal, being admitted to practice at Troy, Lincoln county, in April, 1845.


Mr. Fagg opened an office at Bowling Green, and for some years was in com- pany with Hon. J. O. Broadhead, and afterward alone. In 1856 he moved to Louisiana, in the same county, where he lived for more than a quarter of a cen- tury, and was in some public office much the larger part of the time. Before leaving Bowling Green he had become greatly interested in politics, being a Benton democrat. As such, in August, 1850, he was a candidate for the legisla- ture, and was defeated. In November of the same year he was elected judge of probate, and established that court and system in Pike county. He was reelected in 1854. At a special election in 1855, to fill a vacancy to the legislature, he was elected on the American ticket from Pike county.


In 1856 Mr. Fagg was on the state ticket as a candidate for commissioner of the board of public works, and the ticket was defeated. About that time he was appointed to the vacant office of judge of the court of common pleas, Louisiana being the seat where the court was held. In 1858 Judge Fagg was again sent to the legislature, and in 1860 was the candidate for lieutenant governor on the ticket headed by Hon. Sample Orr.


Though born and partly reared in a slave state, the judge was opposed to the spread of the system, and when civil war began he was an out-and-out Union man. In July, 1861, he was appointed brigade inspector, and in July and August of that year mustered in many state troops. He was elected colonel of the 5th regiment of Missouri home guards, and served in the field in northeastern Mis- souri until February, 1862. In that month he was appointed judge of the third judicial circuit, which was composed of the counties of Pike, Warren, Montgom- ery and Lincoln, and in 1864 was elected to the same office for the full term of six years; but in September, 1866, he was appointed by Governor Fletcher to a seat on the bench of the supreme court, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of

Judge Lovelace, which high position he held until the close of 1868. " Judge Fagg," writes an old associate of his at the Pike county bar, " was always considered a good lawyer and an able advocate. On the bench he was cool, impartial and just, and left his judicial seat with irreproachable character."


On leaving the bench, Judge Fagg returned to the practice of his profession at Louisiana, and was in company with Colonel Dyer, and later with others, until he removed to Saint Louis in August, 1882. In 1872 he was the republican can- didate for congress in the ninth district, and in 1878 in the thirteenth, both strongly democratic districts, and was defeated.


Judge Fagy still does a little practice, and pays considerable attention to the Farmers and Mechanics' Mutual Aid Association, of which he is president.


Judge Fagg was married, November 11, 1847, to Miss Medora Block, of Ashley, Pike county, Missouri, and they have five children living, three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, John M., is in Montana territory; Elias B. is an attorney at law in Louisiana, and Thomas J. C., Jr., is in a bank at the same place.


HON. JOHN W. HENRY. JEFFERSON CITY.


OHN W. HENRY is an associate justice of the supreme court, and an able J man, alike as a lawyer and jurist. He began to rise almost as soon as he began to practice, and he kept on rising until he reached his present exalted posi- tion. He was born in Cynthiana, Harrison county, Kentucky, January 29, 1825. Ilis father was Jesse Henry, a native of the same state, and a prominent citizen there, who removed to this state in 1845. He settled at Independence, Jackson county, where he died in 1852. His wife was Nancy Porter, who was also a native of Kentucky.


Our subject began the study of law in 1843; the next year he was graduated from Transylvania Law School, at Lexington, and after practicing a short time at Cynthiana, came with his parents to this state, opening a law office at Boone- ville. In 1847 he moved to Fayette, Howard county, to act as attorney for the branch of the State Bank of Missouri at that place. There he became a partner of the late Robert T. Prewitt, and took his first rising steps as an attorney in that part of the state. In 18544 Governor Sterling Price appointed him state superin- tendent of public schools. From 1857 to 1803 he resided at Independence, return- ing to Fayette in the latter year. Two years later he removed to Macon City,

the seat of justice of Macon county, where he lived until after his elevation to the supreme bench of the state. In 1872 his democratic constituents elected him judge of the twenty-seventh judicial circuit, composed of the counties of Macon, AAdair, Schuyler and Putnam; and he did so well on the circuit bench that he was reflected in 1875, receiving both times more than his party's votes. His shining qualities as a jurist were seen outside his judicial circuit, and in 1876 he was elected a member of the supreme court.


Judge Henry was married August 29, 1849, to Miss Maria R. Williams, of Howard county, and they have three sons and a daughter living, and have buried one or two children.


The judge is a member of the Episcopal Church, and a man of solid moral, as well as mental qualities His sterling worth, as well as his high legal attain- ments are known throughout the commonwealth of Missouri.


HON. ELIJAH H. NORTON. PLATTE CITY.


E LIJAH HISE NORTON, one of the judges of the supreme court of Mis- souri, is a son of William and Mary ( Hise) Norton, and his birth is dated November 21, 1821, in Logan county, Kentucky. His father was a native of Pennsylvania, and for years was an iron and salt merchant at Russellville, Ken- tucky. The subject of this sketch was educated at Centre College, Danville, and Transylvania University at Lexington, and was graduated at the law department . of the latter institution in 1842. In the same year he moved to Missouri, settled at Platte City, became soon afterward a partner of Solomon P. McCurdy, and was not long in gaining a highly respectable position among the legal fraternity of his judicial circuit.


In 1850 Mr. Norton was married to Malinda, daughter of John Wilson, of Platte county, the result of this union being seven children now living.


In 1852 he was elected judge of the circuit, composed of Platte, Buchanan, Andrew, Holt, Atchison, Nodaway and Gentry counties; was reelected without opposition in 1857, and was holding that office when elected to congress in 1860. Early in the following year civil war began, and Judge Norton was a delegate from his senatorial district to the convention, called to consider what action Mis- souri should take in regard to the federal union, and he strongly opposed the ordinance of secession.


494


THE BENCH AND BAR OF MISSOURI CITIES.


In 1868 Judge Norton was a candidate for the supreme bench of the state, on the democratic ticket, and that entire ticket was defeated. In 1875 he was a member of the constitutional convention, and in that body was chairman of the committee on representation and representative districts.


In 1876 our subject was appointed one of the judges of the supreme court, by Governor Hardin, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Henry M. Vories, and in 1878 he was elected by the people to the same high position, which he is still honoring. It would be difficult to raise to the supreme bench of a state like Missouri a man better qualified than Judge Norton to discharge the duties of such a place. He is thoroughly conversant with the history of the state, with the wants of the people in both city and country; and as a citizen he is not without the sympathies in accord with the tasks and burdens of the people in every station in life. He is a man of quick, clear mind; his knowledge of law is extensive, and his style of expounding it is plain, forcible and engaging. He is a man of earnest convictions, and distinguished for the promptness with which he acts in the dis- charge of his duties. Judge Norton is a member of the Baptist Church.


MORTIMER D. HOLLISTER. KIRKSVILLE ..


M ORTIMER D. HOLLISTER, of the firm of Hollister and McCall, is a native of Tompkins county, New York, dating his birth July 4, 1843. His parents were Hugh and Maria (Cady) Hollister. His paternal great-grandfather was one of the early settlers in Tompkins county, and the family belong to a long line of industrious farmers, the father of Mortimer Hollister being of that class. Both parents were born in the Empire State.


In 1847 the family came west, and settled on a farm in De Kalb county, Illi- nois. In 1859 they removed to Knox county, same state, and our subject was educated at Lombard University, Galesburgh, taking a partial course. He taught school a few terms; read law at Knoxville, Illinois; was admitted to the bar in Edina, Knox county, Missouri, in July, 1873, and there practiced for three years in partnership with his brother, W. C. Hollister, holding, meantime, the office of county superintendent of schools.


In the spring of 1876 Mr. Hollister removed to Monticello, Lewis county, still in partnership with his brother. He has good literary as well as legal attainments, and devotes himself very assiduously to improving his own mind as well as attending to the interests of his clients.


495


THE BENCH AND BAR OF MISSOURI CITIES.


In December, 1881, Mr. Hollister came to Kirksville, where he is in partnership with John F. McCall, and considering the shortness of the time they have been here, they have secured a well remunerating clientage.


Mr. Hollister is a republican, but not active as a polititian. His professional business has the priority over all other duties, except to his family. He was mar- ried in September, 1876, to Miss Ella West, of Monticello, and they have two sons.


HON. DANIEL S. TWITCHELL. KANSAS CITY.


T HE subject of this sketch is preeminently a self-made man, whose life his- tory illustrates in a marked degree what may be accomplished by native force of character. Beginning his life in the humblest obscurity, left an orphan at a tender age, pinched by poverty, and compelled to buffet with the most humiliating adversity, he has, by the power of his own manliness, risen proudly above every obstacle, and now, in the prime of his manhood, stands a fair type of American energy and enterprise. His life is marked by proud success, the result of his own effort. He was born in Scio, Washtenaw county, Michigan, and was the youngest son of Jonas and Sarah W. Twitchell.


Daniel worked on a farm at twelve dollars per month. He carefully took care of his little earnings until he had laid by sixty-five dollars. He then went to Oberlin, Ohio, and entered college, working nights at odd times, earning money to defray expenses. He made such progress, and was so well informed that he began teaching, meeting with good success. He read law at Ann Arbor, Michigan, entering the law department of the college, and graduated with high honors. He opened an office in the town of Aun Arbor, and practiced law there live years.


During this time he was elected to the offices of city recorder, and circuit court commissioner, and also prosecuting attorney. At the opening of the war of the rebellion he received a captain's commission. He raised a company of men and promptly reported his readiness to the governor. But on account of the illness of his wife be resigned his commission as captain, and did service in the provost marshal's department at Jackson, Michigan, until the war closed. He removed to Kansas City, Missouri, in the spring of 1805, where he still resides.


In politics he is a republican. He is a Freemason, and wears the sword and waving plume of a Red Cross Knight, and is also a member in good standing of the gallant order of Knights of Pythias. He was elected city attorney and coun-

selor in 1869, and in 1872 he was the nominee of the republican party for con- gress, and two years later, 1874, he received the nomination for attorney general, and in 1876 he was the congressional nominee for the Kansas City district. Notwithstanding the district was hopelessly democratic, he led the forlorn hope through these battles, maintaining the dignity and organization of his party with that valor and energy which marked his strong arm and steady brain in the days of his college career.


Mr. Twitchell is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers at the Kansas City bar, ranking high by reason of his brilliant legal talents and his unswerving integrity. As a man he has the unbounded respect of the community, and his social qualities are highly appreciated.


CHARLES CLAFLIN ALLEN. SAINT LOUIS.


A MONG the younger members of the Saint Louis bar, Charles Claflin Allen stands prominently forth as one who, by birth, education and such success as he has already achieved, gives just grounds for believing that he will eventu- ally attain a high position in his profession, and that he will prove a valuable citizen. He was born in Saint Louis, July 25, 1855, his parents being John Arthur Allen, a native of New Hampshire, and Jane Elizabeth (White) Allen, a native of North Carolina.


Mr. Allen's preparation for the work of his profession was thorough. After spending several years at Washington University, in Saint Louis, he entered the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, where he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1875. He then took the full course at the Saint Louis Law School, receiving the degree of bachelor of laws in 1877, and entered at once upon the practice of the law. From the first business came to him, and his pro- gress has been steady and permanent, the fitting sequence to energies intelligently directed and to the fidelity with which he has identified his interests with those of his clients. Although not a specialist, his attention has been given more par- ticularly to mercantile and corporation law.


Mr. Allen has decided political convictions, and, while not a partisan in the narrower sense of that word, he is a pronounced republican. At the age of twenty- five he received his party's nomination to the legislature in a democratic district, and was elected by a handsome majority. During the regular session of the state assembly that followed he labored without political partiality on the work in


497

hand, looking only to the best interests of the people at large. His principal service was as a member of the committees on labor and on banks and corporations


During the extra session of 1882 he was a member of the congressional redis- tricting committee, and with a characteristic speech presented the minority report, which was a protest against gerrymandering, and which proposed a plan of redistricting the state that conserved the interests of both parties. It was but natural that, with his feelings of patriotism, Mr Allen should have entered with hearty accord, as he has done, into the work of civil service reform. He is a member of the executive committee of the Civil Service Reform Association of Missouri, and for the last two years has been its secretary.


HON. JOHN F. PHILIPS. KANSAS CITY.


O NE of the prominent and well known lawyers and soldiers of Missouri is John F. Philips, a native of Boone county, this state. He was born Decem- ber 31, 1834. His father settled in that county in 1817. John F. was brought up on his father's farm, and attended the district school winters until seventeen years of age. He then entered the State University at Columbia, Missouri. Afterward he attended Center College, Kentucky, and graduated from that insti- tution in 1855. He read law under the direction of General John B. Clark, at Fayette, Howard county, Missouri After having been admitted to the bar in 1857 he opened an office at Georgetown, at that time the county seat of Pettis county. He was not long in building up a first class business in his profession. We learn from "The United States Biographical Dictionary of Missouri, 1978," that before the war Mr. Philips was a whig, and in 1860 he was a candidate for alternate, or assistant presidential elector, on the Bell and Everett ticket. During the canvass he made his first political speech, which was followed by many others, and he attracted much attention as a brilliant, eloquent and forcible ora. tor. In 1801, after a spirited struggle, he was elected by a large majority to the State convention, which was held to consider the relations of the state of Mis- souri to the federal Union. Mi Philips was one of the youngest members of that distinguished body of men, which held sessions during two years. He was influential and zealous in opposition to secession and rebellion, and made many eloquent and convincing speeches in support of his patriotic opinions. He believed that secession was a remedy for no evil ; that it was a greater evil than 63

any which it was expected to cure, and that in the Union, and under the consti- tution was the place to stand for all rights


In 1861-2 Mr. Philips raised a regiment of Union cavalry, and was appointed colonel. This command did fine service and good fighting in Arkansas and Missouri, and was often complimented in orders by commanding generals. For gallant service against General Price in 1864, Colonel Philips was placed in com- mand of the central district of Missouri, by General Rosecranz. He was also appointed brigadier general by Governor Hall, but, as he was not a radical in politics, the state senate refused to confirm him. He commanded his regiment through the war, except when he was placed in higher command.


At the close of the war Colonel Philips returned to Sedalia, and resumed the practice of the law. He was a candidate on the democratic ticket for congress in 1868, but he was not elected. The campaign was one that will long be remembered, as it aroused great enthusiasm and admiration for him among the people. The same year he was a delegate to the national democratic convention that nominated Seymour and Blair for president and vice president.


Six years later, 1874, Colonel Philips was again a candidate for congress on the democratic ticket. He made an active canvass, and was elected by a hand- some majority. He is one of the commissioners appointed by the supreme court of the state in the summer of 1883, to assist in the onerous labors of that court.


From his first entry into congress he commanded much influence and respect by his industry, talents and eloquence. His first speech was in opposition to Mr. Blaine's proposed sixteenth amendment to the constitution, in regard to church and state, and attracted much attention as a logical argument and an eloquent appeal. "His eulogy on the late Speaker Kerr was a very finished, ele- gant and touching tribute to the memory of its distinguished subject. He served on the committee on the Pacific railroads, and on claims. He was also a mem- ber of the committee sent to South Carolina to investigate presidential election affairs, and chairman of the sub-committee. Never has he been reluctant to sacrifice either personal ease or professional profit, in behalf of the public wel- fare. Politically a decided democrat, to that party he has constantly dedicated his great talent. With a trenchant pen, and a clarion voice, has he battled for the right as he understood it. Accomplished in literature, learned in jurispru- dence, proficient in political philosophy, familiar with economic science, acute and alert of mind, and a master of brilliant and Incid expression, John F. Philips, whether as a lawyer or politician, advocate or orator, has been useful to his country, and an ornament to his state.
