There is a town of Remick in the Duchy of Luxembourg. Germany,

which was so named in the time of the Roman oc- cupation. There are many persons named Remick living in Holland and Germany, and it is probable that the first Remich added to his single christian name that of Remich. the city of his birth, after set-

He attended the common schools and Hardwick Acad- emy, in which he made rapid progress, and decided to enter upon the practice of law. Accordingly he entered the law department of Michigan University, from which he was graduated in 1848. At the April term of court at Lancaster, in 1878, he was ad- mitted to the bar, and at once entered upon the prac- tice of his profession in that town with - Dudley, under the firm name of Dudley and Remick, which relation continued some four years, ending May I, 1882. He then removed to Littleton and became as- sociated with two of the most prominent attorneys of northern New Hampshire, Messrs. George A. Bingham and Edgar Aldrich, and the firm name was Bingham, Aldrich & Remick. This firm con- tinned very prosperously in business until January I, 1889, when Mr. Aldrich retired. Mr. Remick then formed a partnership with his brother, subsequently a supreme court judge, under the firm name of Remick & Remick, and this continued until Sep- tember 1, 1890, when the older brother retired to engage in the stereoscopic view business, in part- nership with Benjamin W.

(VIII) James Waldron Remick, eighth child and fourth son of Samuel K. and Sophia (Cush- man) Remick, was born in Hardwick, Vermont. October 30, 1860. He acquired his literary edu- cation in the common schools of his native town and of St. Johnsbury and Colebrook. While in these institutions he exhibited evidence of considerable ability and taste as a writer and public speaker. In 1870 he began the study of law with James I. Par- sons, of Colebrook, was in the office of B. F. Chap- man, Clockville, New York, and later for a time with Bingham & Aldrich at Littleton. In 1880 he entered the law department of the Michigan Uni- versity at Ann Arbor, and was graduated from that school in March, 1882, and was admitted to the New Hampshire bar in Concord soon afterward. He opened an office in Colebrook in the same year, and practiced alone until November, 1884, when he re- turned to Littleton, and for a year was in the employ

of Aldrich & Remick, attorneys. In 1885 he formed a partnership with Honorable Ossian Ray, under the firm name of Ray & Remick. In 1889 Daniel C. Remick and James W. Remick associated them- selves in business under the firm name of Remick & Remick. The same year he was appointed United States district attorney for New Hampshire. At that time he was but twenty-eight years of age, the youngest man who ever held that office. The firm of Remick & Kemick continued until September 1, 18go, when Mlr. Daniel C. Remick retired from the law to engage in other business. From the time of the dissolution of this firm until his appointment to the supreme bench of the state, April 1, 1901, Mr. Remick was alone. He held the office of justice of the supreme court until January 1, 1904, when he resigned. While filling that position he attended to his duties with close attention, bringing into use the best powers of his logical and well trained mind and ripe scholarship, and rendering his decisions with apparent candor, fairness and ability as to win the respect and confidence of the bar and the esteem of his colleagues, and his retirement was much re- gretted. Soon after returning to the practice of law lie became a member of the firm since known as Sargent, Remick & Niles, of Concord. In 1903 he was appointed one of the receivers of the White Mountain Paper Company, a corporation with an office in Portsmouth. He took the chief manage- ment of this business, to which he applied first class business principles and brought order out of chaos, and received great credit for his skill in the matter. Judge Remick's twenty-five years' service as a lawyer have made him a veteran practitioner, while still a youthful looking man. It has been written of him, "He is a diligent student of the science of law, and early mastered its principles. Thoroughness has marked his course as a practitioner. The law, the facts, and the argument in all their bearings com- manded his time and ability. He is regarded as one of the most eloquent and logical advocates in the state." The record of the principal cases in which he has appeared as counsel, and the contributions he has made to the literature of the law, are found in Briefs and Arguments reported in the New Hamp- shire Supreme Court Reports, beginning with Vol- ume 62, and in the Federal Reporter, notable among which is the one given in full in State vs. Sanders, 66 N. H., p. 46. But while pursuing a steady for- ward course as a lawyer, he has taken a hearty in- terest in municipal and educational affairs in the places of his residence, and was a member of the board of health of Littleton in the years 1887-8-9, and was a member of the board of education of Union District from 1895 until he removed tu Con- cord, and its president from 1899 to 1901. Always a loyal Republican, Judge Remick has rendered lusty service to his party by making many addresses in political campaigns. In recent years his atten- tion has been attracted to vicious and corrupt legis- lation, and to the devising of a remedy for these things he has brought to bear the ample powers of liis strong mind and wide experiences. During the state campaign of 1906, he contributed much to the cause of good government as an organizer and pres- ident of the Lincoln Club, which organization com- pelled the adoption by the Republican party of many needed reform planks in its platform. and the enact- ment of some laws by which the organization gained a strong position in the hearts of the people, and will under its present name or some other and on a broader platform accomplish much more legislation in the interests of the plain people. James W. Remick married, in Hartford, Connecticut. Decem-

ber 5, 1888, Mary S. Pendleton, who was born in Bangor, Maine. July 31, daughter of Nathan and Helen M. Pendleton, of Bangor.
