George M. Lee was the preceptor of Gen. James W. Reilly, who was admitted to the bar in 1853, and has had an office continuously in Wellsville from that time, except during his three years absence in the army from 1862 to 1865. On his admission to the bar, General Reilly formed a partnership with his preceptor, and the firm of Lee & Reilly did business for a
number of years at their offices on the north side of the Public Square in Wellsville. After the partnership was dissolved by Mr. Lee mov- ing to New Lisbon, General Reilly continued the practice alone and soon accumulated a large and lucrative practice; and until his retirement a few years ago he had a very large business in West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. He was connected with many important litigations in court, but made a spe- cialty of office work, and as counsel his services. were valued with the ablest lawyers of the State. He was educated at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, and Mount St. Mary's, near Emmitsburg, Maryland. He was endowed by nature with a strong mind, well fitted to appreciate legal principles, on which he based his conclusions, which were seldom wrong. ' In 1862, he entered the service as col- onel of the 104th Regiment, Ohio Vol. Inf .; but soon afterwards received a commission as brigadier general. He left the service at the end of three years as a major general. He left the service with the highest commendation of his superiors, and with the universal respect, love and admiration of the soldiers in his com- mand.
After the removal of George M. Lee, J. H. Trainer and A, H. Batten located in Wells- ville, each of them remaining a few years and then removing to Steubenville, Jefferson County, where they became the leaders of the bar of that county.
Hon. W. G. Wells was admitted to practice law in the early '60's, having read law with General Reilly. Soon after his admission, he opened an office at Wellsville, and was one of the most active and influential citizens of the city during his residence there, and was act- ively connected with a large part of the liti- gations from the southern part of the county from the time of his admission to the bar un- til he removed to New Lisbon, as probate judge in February, 1879.
About the year 1875, P. C. Young located in Wellsville and continued in the practice there until he went to New Lisbon as probate judge in 1891.
Philip M. Smith located in Wellsville in

1879, as the successor in the office of Judge Wells, on the latter's election as probate judge.
A. G. Smith began the practice of the law in 1892, has devoted himself largely to probate court work and office business, and was city solicitor of Wellsville for a number of terms.
J. W. Clark moved to Wellsville from Steubenville and continued in the practice there until he went to Lisbon and associated himself with the firm of Billingsley & Tayler, where he is now located as a member of the firm of Billingsley, Clark & DeFord. Mr. Clark was mayor of the city of Wellsville and city solicitor a number of terms each.
The next in order to locate in Wellsville was W. F. Lones, who succeeded Judge Young having real law in Columbiana County and lo- cated for a number of years in Tennessee, from which State he returned and has been actively engaged in the practice of the law in Wellsville from 1891 up to the present time ( 1905).
F. L. Wells returned from Lisbon to Wells- ville, his native place, in 1890. He opened a law office and soon after established a building and loan company, in both of which vocations he has been eminently successful.
Soon after his admission to the bar in 1898, W. R. MacDonald associated himself with F. L. Wells, and is still (in 1905) with him in the law and building and loan business, at their office on the corner of Fifth and Main streets.
W. A. Snediker also began the practice of the law in Wellsville, giving promise of taking a leading rank at the bar ; but he is now devot- ing practically all his time to the management of a building and loan company, and expects to make banking his life work.
G. W. Adams, who was born and reared in Yellow Creek township, located in Wellsville in the practice of the law in 1894. He has, connected with his law business, a large insur- ance business, and has been quite successful in both lines of work.
The latest addition to the practice of the law in Wellsville is Charles Boyd, who read law in Wellsville, and was admitted to practice in 1897. He is now (in 1905) city solicitor, and is actively engaged in his professional work
and in looking after the legal affairs of the city.
Hon. E. E. Roberts, of Warren, Ohio, is also a Wellsville product, being born and reared in this vicinity, and educated in the Wellsville schools, although he never was located there in the active practice of the law.
C. K. McGregor was admitted to the bar and gives some attention to his profession, but is devoting practically all his time to the work of his office, that of city auditor.
EAST LIVERPOOL HAD FEW LAWYERS.
With the exception of a short time, East Liverpool was without a resident lawyer un- til about 1860, and the law business was largely transacted by the justices of the peace.
Sanford C. Hill was one of the earliest jus- tices of the peace in East Liverpool, having his office on the first floor of the building at the corner of Second street and Peach alley, which was still standing in 1905. He was a justice of the peace for many years; also a civil engineer and surveyor. He was also the leading as- tromoner of the United States in those days, making the calculations for practically all the almanacs that were, at that time, published in this country. There was issued for many years an publication known as "Hill's Almanac," which was a household necessity for all pioneers of the county.
William P. Morris was also a justice of the peace in East Liverpool for many years, hav- ing his office on Second street. He was an uncle of Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie's mother being a sister of 'Squire Morris. He was a man of sound judgment and unques- tioned honesty, and was a very useful member of the community. He was inclined to keep peace in the community, and to discourage liti- gation.
In the early history of jurisprudence in East Liverpool, a large part of the work before the justices of the peace was done by what were known as pettifoggers-men with some knowl- edge of the law and some ability to present mat- ters intelligently to the court. Among the most noted practitioners of this class was

HISTORY OF COLUMBIANA COUNTY
Enoch Bradshaw, who appeared in many cases, and did his work fearlessly and with great energy.
The first attorney who located in East Liverpool was William Larwell, who located there about 1803, but only remained for a short time.
There was thereafter no attorney regularly admitted to the bar who was a resident of East Liverpool until the arrival of Col. H. R. Hill. who located there in the practice prior to the war of the Rebellion. He entered the service in 1862, having raised a company for the 104th Regiment, Ohio Vol. Inf., but was transferred to the 115th Ohio, in which he was made rank- ing captain, and was afterwards promoted to major and later to the colonelcy of this regi- ment. Colonel Hill had spent a year in the South, in Louisiana, teaching school in that State, immediately before the war: and during his residence there was surprised to have the gentleman, with whom he was living, bring to his home one of "Hill's Almanacs" for that year (1859) which had been prepared by his father. Colonel Hill continued active in the practice until about 1900. Having accumu- lated a competence, and owing to the great in- convenience of practicing law at the county seat and residing in East Liverpool, he with- drew from the active practice; and after that time his business was continued by his sons, Walter B. Hill and William M. Hill. Colonel Hill was connected with every important litiga- tion from East Liverpool and vicinity from soon after the close of the war until he quit the practice, and undoubtedly had a larger client- age than any lawyer in the county at that time.
The next lawyer to locate in East Liverpool was Hon. John M. Cook, now circuit judge in this division. He remained in the practice there for two or three years, and then removed to Steubenville, Jefferson County.
The next contemporary of Colonel Hill was Hon. R. W. Tayler, now judge of the United States Circuit and District courts at Cleveland, Ohio. Judge Tayler remained in East Liver- pool until about 1880, when he was elected prosecuting attorney and removed to New Lis- bon, where he served five years in that capacity.
An amusing anecdote is told of the experi- ence of Colonel Hill and Judge Tayler in their practice. They were trying a case before Jethro Manley, who was of English origin, and who for many years filled the office of justice of the peace with honor and ability, being noted for his Solomonic wisdom rather than for his tech- nical knowledge of the law. Mr. Tayler was seeking to offer in evidence a letter purport- ing to have been written by Mr. Hill's client, tò which the Colonel was making strenuous objection. After the attorneys had wrangled for some time, to the manifest annoyance of the 'Squire, who wished to end the controversy, he finally called counsel to order and turning to Colonel Hill said, "Let 'im read it, Kurnel, let 'im read it ; 'e canno' change ma mind."
About the same time that Judge Tayler located in East Liverpool, A. H. Clark of Sa- lineville opened an office, and entered into the active practice of the law and acquired a large business. He is still (in 1905) in the active practice, but for a number of years has been suffering with impaired health.
At about the same time A. R. Mackall also- located in East Liverpool, and continued in the active practice until he became broken in health shortly prior to his death, which occurred about 1895.
For many years, while Colonel Hill was the only lawyer in East Liverpool, in contested cases Gen. J. W. Reilly, W. G. Wells and P. C. Young were principally employed on the op- posite sides of the case, and occasionally John W. Morrison was brought from Lisbon. At the present time (i11 1905), there are 22 resi- dent lawyers at East Liverpool.
In 1894, The Southern Columbiana County Bar Association was organized from members of the bar of East Liverpool, Wellsville and Salineville, and has been an exceedingly useful and pleasant arrangement from a social as well as business standpoint. Judge Philip M. Smith has been president of this organization during its entire existence. Its first vice-president was A. R. Mackall, and after his death, the office was filled by A. H. Clark. The first secretary was William M. Hill, who was afterwards suc- ceeded by Walter B. Hill. The first treasurer-

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.
was J. J. Purinton, who was afterwards suc- ceeded by W. E. Lones. These are the only office-holders of this organization. This asso- ciation has enabled its members, by joint action, to arrange for their court work and other mat- ters in which they are jointly interested. The inconvenience of reaching the county seat sug- gested the organization, and the results have fully justified all expectation of benefits antici- pated by its promoters.
SALEM'S "TRIUMVIRATE," AND OTHERS.
Hon. John H. Clark in his address upon the "Bench and Bar of Columbiana County." at the Lisbon centennial in 1903. paid this compli- ment to a trio of Salem's distinguished men : "I cannot close even this rude sketch of the bar of Columbiana County without some mention of that triumvirate of great lawyers, which has added so much to the character and learning. and so much to the honor of this bar. I mean, of course. J. Twing Brooks, and Judges J. A. Ambler and P. A. Laubie." Of this great trio, one had (in 1905 ) passed away-Mr. Brooks, who died in the fall of igor. when but little be- yond the very prime of life ; Judge Ambler had retired at a ripe age, full of honors; while Judge Laubie was still utilizing his ripe exper- ience and masterly legal ability on the circuit court bench. Mr. Brooks was born in Salem, October 27, 1840; read law with Judge Potter and was admitted to the bar in August, 1865- the year in which he was chosen to the State Senate, where he served until 1869; then suc- ceeding to the business of his father, J. J. Brooks, who was long a solicitor of the Pitts- burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway Com- pany (afterwards the Pennsylvania Company ), in connection with a general law practice, the son formed a little later a partnership with Judge Laubie, and the two associated with each other for some years. In time the great corpor- ation demanded practically all of Mr. Brooks' time, and for some years before his death he was second vice-president of the Pennsylvania Company.
Hon. J. A. Ambler was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, February 18, 1829. He read
law with his brother, Henry Ambler, in Salem (the latter at the time a prominent attorney at the Columbiana County bar) ; was admitted at Cincinnati, March 27. 1851, served one term in the Ohio Legislature, 1858-59, resigning to accept appointment as judge of the First Sub- Division of the Ninth Judicial District to suc- ceed Judge Lyman W. Potter, resigned : was elected to fill the unexpired term and the fol- lowing full term-1861-67; was elected to Congress and served 1868-70, and served also on the United States Tariff Commission in 1882.
A brief sketch of Judge Laubie's public service and also of his military record is given elsewhere in this work.
Hon. B. S. Ambler was born in Salem March 31, 1853; after being admitted to the bar he practiced with his father, J. A. Ambler, until 1898; in 1902 appointed by President Roosevelt judge of the Court of First Instance at Manila, P. I .. which position he resigned in 1904.
Hon. W. W. Hole was another of the Salem attorneys who pressed to the front in the clos- ing years of the old century. He had built up for himself an enviable practice when, in 1899, he was elected judge of the Common Pleas Court. for the Ninth Judicial District of Ohio, and re-elected in 1904 for a second term of five years.
Among the earlier members of the bar of Salem-the work of some has been mentioned elsewhere in this work-and probably all of whom are favorably remembered by some of the older of those who are yet in the legal har- ness, were J. J. Brooks, Thomas Kennett, Cor- nelius Curry, Allen Thomas and Asa Battin.
Hon. J. C. Boone, after serving six years as probate judge-from 1897 to 1903-returned to Salem and resumed a very busy and lucra- tive practice.
The firm of Carey & Mullins, Salem, suc- ceeded, some years ago, to a similar practice -- only enlarging no doubt as the years go by,- as that for so many years engaged in, and so successfully, by father and son, J. J. Brooks and J. Twing Brooks, in connection with the Pennsylvania Company's railroad lines.
