ating from that institution, entered the office of Fran- ci- L. Macculloch as a student-at-law. Ile was ad- mitted as an attorney in 1841, and as a counselor in !$+4. Settling in Woodstown, his native place, he began the practice of law. He, however, during the early part of his professional career. devoted his time and attention in a great measure to agricultural pur- snits, and it was not till in 1847. when he was ap- pointed proscentor of the pleas, to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Richard P. Thompson to the attorney-generalship of the State. that he be- came at all prominent as a lawyer. During his term
business of the county. In 1859 he was appointed by Governor Olden an associate justice of the Supreme Conrt of the State, and assigned to the First Judicial Distriet. In the estimation of the lawyers of that day he was considered to have been an honest. well-mean- ing, upright judge, and a lawyer of fair legal attain- ments. To Mr. Clawson belong> the honor and dis- tinction of having been the only representative Salem County has ever had upon the bench of the Supreme Court of this State. Mr. Clawson did not live to reap the full honors of his office, death overtaking him before the end of his second year on the bench. In 1857 he was present in Washington during the inau- guration of President Buchanan, and was a guest at the National Hotel at the time when the well-remem- bered attempt was unsuccessfully made to poison the President and his cabinet. He, together with many others, was affected by the poison, which slowly un- dermined his constitution and ultimately caused his death. He died in Woodstown in June, 1861.
ANTHONY Q. KEA BEY was born in Salem on March 1, 1824. His ancestors had lived in Salem since the settlement of the county by John Fenwick and his company in 1675. He was a son of Dr. Ed- ward Q. Kensbey, who practiced medicine in Salem . for a number of years. He was graduated at Yale College, in 1848, and soon afterwards began the study of the law with Francis L. Macculloch in Salem. He finished his studies with Cortlandt Parker in New- ark, and was admitted to the bar in 1:46. In 1540 he was licensed a> counselor. He began the practice of law in Salem, and continued it there until 1852, attending the circuits also in Cape May and Cum- berland. In 1852 he removed to Newark, and in 1855 entered into partnership with Cortlandt Parker. The firm of Parker & Keasbey was the first to be formed under the act of March 17, 1855, authorizing attorneys to usea partnership name. and it existed for more than twenty years. It was dissolved March 1, 1876, and was succeeded by the two firms of Cortlandt & R. Wayne Parker and A. Q. Keusbey & Sons. In this latter the two sons are Edward Q. Keasbey and George M. Keushey, who were both born in Salem. In April, 1861, Mr. A. Q. Keasbey was appointed by President Lincoln United States district attorney for the District of New Jersey, and was reappointed by
hím in 1865, but Mr. Lincoln was assassinated before the second conamission was signed, and after loding the office for a year under a provisional appointment, Mr. Keasbey was again appointed by Mr. Johnson for four years from April. 1566. He was reappointed by President Grant in 1870, and again in 1874. Presi- dent Hayes appointed him in 1878. At the expiration of his term, April, 1882, he was appointed provision- ally by Judge Bradley, and was then appointel by President Arthur for another term of four years. Al- though his daties as district attorney have occupied much of his time, he has had a large practice in the . before juries, and especially prominent at the equity bar, and he is retained in many of the important civil cases in the United States Cirenit Court.

THOMAS S. SMITH, a son of John Smith, of Salem County, N. J., was born June 29, 1812. He entered the office of Richard P. Thompson as a student at law, and upon completing the usual term of study was admitted to the bar, in 1833. Mr. Smith during his professional career tried very few cases, and, in- deed. never actively engaged in that branch of the profession which necessitated his presence in court. He, however, did quite a good office practice, and was a man of remarkable shrewdness and good business talents. He dealt largely in the buying and selling of land. and. possessing excellent judgment and a thorough knowledge of the values of real estate. made by his transactions quite a large amount of money. He was also very active and zealous in political affairs, and during the time he was actively engaged in such matters is said to have been one of the most sagacious and far-sighted political managers in West Jersey. He died in Salem, Oct. 26, 1874, in his sixty- eighth year, having been for a long time before his death a confirmed invalid, and in a great degree pre- vented from leading an active business life.
JAMES M. HANNAH was born in Salem County, Sept. 14, 1807. He was educated for the bar, read- ing law in the office of William N. Jeffers, and was admitted as an attorney in 1828, and as a counselor in 1831. He opened an office in Salem, but never prac- ticed before the courts to any great extent, his natmal tastes and inclinations leading him to take an active interest in other pursuits, especially in agriculture; he finally abandoned the practice of law altogether. Ile afterwards became actively engaged in several bu-i- ness enterprises and ventures. Among others he, in 1.33. bought out the offices of the Solent Meserror and the American Sattesmon, and merging them both in one. edited a newspaper called the Union. He sold out his interest in this paper to Samuel Prior, in 1886. Ile was also at one time engaged in the milling business. At the time of his death he was a member of the city Board of Education, and a vestryman of the Epi-copal Church of Salem. He died March 5. 1873.
SAMUEL A. ALLEN, a native of Salem County, was born in 1513. He was prepared for the bar in the

office of Richard P. Thompson, and was licensed as Diet of Nantes, and field to England. The name y originally Le Fevre. We shall not trace the ane att further in the generations following, though, in t. amalgamation produced by the marriages in sul - quent years, he is also descended from other wed known and ancient families. an attorney in 1$41, and as a counselor in 1844. Ile settled in his native town, and, although never re- garded as a well-read lawyer, he managed. through well-directed energy and a knack for obtaining busi- ness, to secure a comparatively large and profitable practice. Perhaps one of the most noted cirenm- Edward Van Meter received his education in t'. excellent private schools of his native town. He w ... a bright and promising boy, noted for his quick, r ... tentive memory. From his earliest years he exhi' ited those traits of unceasing activity and energy stances of his life in Salem, and one by which he is best remembered, is the fact of his having written a book, entitled "My Own Home and Fireside," in which a number of the leading society people living in Saleni at that time were held up to ridicule. The ' which remained until he was disabled by disease. book, which came out anonymously, created quite a. In early life he began the study of law, in the offic stir in the social cireles of the town. The demand for it was so great that the first edition was soon ex- hausted, and it was necessary to publish a second. Subsequently, Mr. Allen removed from Salem to Trenton, N. J. While there, however, he did not engage actively in practice. From Trenton he went to Burlington for a short time, and finally settled near Germantown, Pa. He married, late in life, Miss Mary, a daughter of Charles Hornblower and a
of Francis L. Macculloch, but before his studies wer- completed he abandoned them for mercantile pul- snits. In 1848 he was unanimously elected justice of the peace, and continued to be re-elected until he declined to serve. He finally returned to his first choice, renewed the study of law under Alphonzo L. Eakin, and was admitted to the bar in 1861. He married Caroline Whitaker, of Deerfield, Cumber- Iand Co., N. J., and had three daughters, who, with granddaughter of Chief Justier Hornblower. He died ' his wife, survived him. She was a daughter of Isate in Germantown, Dec. 8, 1:79, in his sixty-sixth year.
EDWARD VAN METER, son of Dr. Robert Hunter and Sarah Leake ( Whitaker) Van Meter, was born in Salem, N. J., Nov. 26, 1811. The Van Meters, in company with several other families, emigrated from Holland to the State of New York between the years 1650 and 1600. Between the years 1712 and 1711 a number of citizens of the Dutch Reformed or Presbyterian faith removed from the neighborhood of Esopus, N. Y., to what is now known as Upper
David Evans, went with them, a man of learning and piety. Among the company who left New York were three brothers and their families by the name of Van Meter. One of the brothers branched off and settled in Monmouth County. The other two, John and Isaac, came, with the rest, to Salem County. In East Jersey the name has been changed in spell- ing to Van Mater and Van Martin, but in West Jer- sey it is uniformly spelled Van Meter.
.
John and Isaae Van Meter seem to have been men of means. They owned a very large traet of land near Daretown, about six thousand aeres in all, and most of the titles to the lands held by the present oe- eupants go back to the Van Meter titles. The early Van Meters were noted for their desire to reach out and obtain broad aeres of land, and for their love of good horses. John Van Meter left a son, Henry. He and his wife, Mary Fetters, were the ancestors of the subject of our sketch, Edward Van Meter being fourth in descent. Mary Fetters was a daughter of Erasmus Fetters, who, with his wife, emigrated from England to West Jersey about the year 1685, and settled in Salem. Erasmus Fetter, was a French Huguenot. He left his native country, together with thousands of other-, soon after the revocation of the

The former was one of the founders of the Presbyterian Church in Salem, and remark- Pittsgrove, Salem Co., N. J.

Perhaps no man was better known in Salem County than Edward Van Meter; for during an unusualis busy life as student, merehant, magistrate, and law- yer, most of which was passed in his native place. the public eye was constantly upon him. Hi- inter- course with all classes of people was such that he may be said to have been an encyclopedia of the public affairs of Salem County, and he was thoroughly posted on the status of every business man. A> a lawyer his practice was large; not as an advocate in the courts, for deafness, with which he had been afflicted for many years, precluded such public effort -. but in his office, where clients constantly solicited his advice and counsel. In real estate and agricul- tural matters his judgment was always sought, and few men in the county knew as well as he the value- of the various plantations for production or invest- ment. He was prompt and correct in business, keen in judginent, quick in action, energetic in his every movement, self-assured in his ventures, and thu- a type of the rare class of men who depend upon them- selves. A love of good hor-es, a family trait, was que of his prominent characteri-ties, and his name is well known to the horsemen of the country through his

rrespondence with Mr. J. II. Wallace. His knowl- Hige of the local hors-history of West and South Jersey was wonderfully extensive and accurate.
On October 4, 1974, in the full maturity of his powers, and absorbed by the engrossing cares of active business, he was suddenly stricken with paralysis, and from that day to his death, Jan. 4, 1876, lay prostrate, with no hope of recovery, though his mind continued clear and vigorous as when in bodily health, and he was enabled to converse and advise with all who sought his bedside. A fever set in a few days before his decease, under which he gradu- ally weakened, when death had an easy and peaceful victory over the onee indomitable spirit, and closed a life of much activity and marked ability.
ISAAC V. DICKINSON was born in Woodstown, Salem Co., N. J. He prepared for the bar in the office of the late Judge William S. Clawson, and was licensed as an attorney at the June term of the Su- preme Court, 1852. He opened a law-office in his native town, which continued to be his place of resi- dence until his death. Mr. Diekinson never ranked as a lawyer of very much ability, but in course of time, by elose application to business and persist- ent industry, succeeded in obtaining a practice quite large and remunerative for that place. He was an ardent Democrat, and took an active interest in pol- ities. In 1864, during the Lincoln and Mcclellan Presidential campaign, he was brought into promi- nence before the voters of the First District by receiv- ing the Democratic nomination for Congress. As the district was at that time so strongly Republican that # nomination by that party was almost equivalent to an election, he was defeated by the Hon. John F. Starr, the nominee of that party. After this he re- -umed the practice of law. He died Sept. 28, 1872.
A. M. P. V. H. DICKESON, a son of Dr. Dickeson, was born at Hancock's Bridge, Salem Co., in the year 1543. He was prepared for college at the Salem Academy, and was graduated from Princeton among the first in his class. He was also a graduate of the Albany Law School. He entered actively into pol- ities early in life, and in 1865 was nominated by the Republican party for the Assembly, and in that year and the year following represented Salem County in the State Legislature. Mr. Diekeson, for a number of years, owing to ill health. engaged in farming, and it was not until 1877 that he became a member of the bar of this State. He opened an office in Woodstown, Salem Co., but by reason of a continued state of ill health was not able to engage actively in the practice of lis profession. He died June 15, 1879.
THOMAS S. SMITH was born in Salem City in the year 1850. Ile was the son of Thomas S. Smith, attorney-at-law. Ile read law in the office of the Ilon. Clement H. Sinuickson, and was admitted to the bar of this State in 1872. Ile was a man of very energetic and enthusiastic nature, and the confine- ment of an office proving very irksome to him, he
took a far greater interest in active business than in the practice of his profession. Upon the death of his father he came into possession of a large tract of undeveloped city lots, which he immediately began to improve and build up. He was very successful in this undertaking, and it is principally due to his energy that what was formerly known as the "Prai- ries" have been almost entirely built up. He died suddenly, Dee. 9, 1s:1, and at the time of his death held the office of clerk of the Board of Frecholders of Salem County, and was also treasurer of the surplus revenue fund.
This completes the list of lawyers who have resided and practiced law in Salem, except the living mem- bers of the bar, of whom it is deemed best to make no comments either as to their legal attainments or professional career. Their names will be found in the list given below,
