DELAWARE COUNTY


Thomas J. Clayton, the first elected president judge of the Delaware county courts, was born in Bethel, June 20, 1826. He read law in Wilmington, and was admitted to the Delaware county bar November 24. 1851. He located in Philadelphia, was admitted to that bar January 7. 1852, and for twenty-four years practiced in that city, residing, however, most of that period near Thur- low, now a part of the city of Chester. He was an adroit politician, al- though until his election as judge, never held an office. He built up a strong political machine in Delaware county that in 1874 elected him judge over the much abler lawyer and jurist, Judge John M. Broomall. He served a full term of ten years, and was re-elected in 1894, when he was nearly seventy years of age, holding until his death, January 30, 1900. He was an energetic and suc- cessful lawyer, had a bright retentive mind, and was able as a judge.


The present judge, Isaac Johnson, was appointed in January, 1900, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Clayton. At the November elec- tion he was chosen to serve a full term of ten years and in 1910 was again elected to the same high position. He was born in Ridley, studied law, and has the distinction of being the only member of the Delaware county bar ad- mitted without an examination. Judge Clayton admitted him on motion of ex-Judge John M. Broomall, who stated that his qualifications were such as to render examination unnecessary. He was very successful as a lawyer, a popular orator, and as a jurist has displayed great wisdom and legal acumen. He served as captain in the Civil War, and previous to his elevation to the bench had for twelve years held the office of prothonotary and clerk of the courts of Delaware county.


In 1907 the growth of the county so increased the work of the courts that a bill was passed by the legislature granting Delaware county an additional law judge. On March 17. 1907, Governor Stuart appointed William B. Broomall to that position, and at the November election of that year he was elected for a full term of ten years.


Judge William B. Broomall, son of Judge John M. Broomall, was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, January 30, 1843 ; was graduated from Haverford Col- lege in 1861, and then began the study of law. In 1862 he enlisted in Com- pany D. 124th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry ; was in hard active service in the Antietam and Chancellorsville campaigns, and at the close of his term of enlistment received honorable discharge. He then returned to legal study, and in 1864 was admitted to the Delaware county bar. He rose rapidly in his profession, appearing in almost every case of importance, and became a recognized leader of the county bar. As a judge he has worthily up- held the traditions of this one of the strongest bars in Pennsylvania.
