William H. Miller, who for more than a quarter of a century was an active practi- tioner, was a student of Judge Reed and
was admitted to the bar in August 1832. As a lawyer he was studious, deliberate and dignified, cool and self-possessed, who suc- ceeded in winning a large practice and an honorable position at the bar. He died in Carlisle in June 1877.
William McFunn Penrose, (admitted un- der Judge Hepburn) was born in Carlisle March 29th, 1845; was graduated from Dickinson College in 1844 and was ad- mitted to the bar in November of the fol- lowing year. He was the eldest son of Hon. Charles B. Penrose. As a lawyer he was eminently successful, learned,quick and accurate in his perceptions, urgent in argu- ment, terse in expression-he had a keen perception of the distinctions in the cases and of the principles which underlie them, and in all questions of practice he was par- ticularly at home. He served for a time as Colonel of the Sixth Regiment in the Rebellion. He died September 2d, 1872.
Alexander Brady Sharpe, born in Cum- berland county, August 12th, 1827, gradu- ated with honor at Jefferson College, Pa., in 1846, read law with Robert M. Bard, of Chambersburg, and subsequently with Hon. Frederick Watts, of Carlisle, and was admitted to the bar in November 1848. During the late war he served upon the staff of General Ord, and was one of the seven officers of the Loyal Legion who re- ceived promotion for specific services in the field. As a lawyer he was of sterling inte- grity; as an advocate strong, dignified and eloquent. But he was pre-eminently a scholar, familiar with the best literature of England, of Rome and (which he liked best) of Greece. His memory was great, his reading broad, and his conversation polished, scholarly and interesting. He died at his home in Carlisle on the night of December 25th, 1891.

tice here, were Hon. Alexander Ramsey (of Reed law school), examined by Gaul- lagher, C. B. Penrose and Frederick Watts), who was a member of Congress (1843-47) and afterwards appointed by President Tay- lor first territorial governor of Minnesota; elected its first governor in 1859: re-elected in 1861 ; later for two terms United States Senator (from 1863) and later still Secretary of War under President Hayes; Hon. Na- than B. Smithers, who was a member of Congress and Secretary of State for Dela- ware. His examining committee was the same as Ramsey's. Then there was Hon. Levi N. Mackey, who became a member of Congress (1875-79), Adair, Gaullagher and Alexander being huis comittee of ex- amination. Hon. Carroll Spence (of the Reed law school) became minister to Tur- key under President Pierce, Alexander, Gaullagher and Bonham being his commit- tee. Hon. James H. Campbell, who was examined by Frederick Watts, Samuel Alexander and Wm. M. Porter, became a member of Congress (1855-57) and was United States Minister to Sweden (1864- 67). Hon. James R. Kelley (of Reed law school) went to Oregon and was defeated for Governor (1866) but was elected to the United States Senate (1871-77) and was afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Then there was examined and ad- mitted J. C. Kunkle, of Dauphin county, who became a Whig member of Congress, and Hon. Samuel S. Woods, who became the President Judge of the Union and Mif- flin county district; and Hon. Benjamin Markley Boyer, who was a member of Con- gress in 1865-69, and in 1882 President Judge of the Montgomery district. Also Hon. Benjamin F. Junkin, of Perry, later Judge of this Ninth Judicial District. Robt. A. Lamberton, LL. D., of Carlisle, mem- ber of the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania in 1880, and later President
of Lehigh University, and who died in Sep- tember, 1893.
Hon. Frederick Watts became Judge of our courts in 1849. He was the son of David Watts, of the early bar, and was born in Carlisle May 9th, 1801. He was gradu- ated from Dickinson College in 1819; two years later entered the office of Andrew Carothers, and was admitted to practice in August 1824. He soon acquired an im- mense practice, which may be judged by the fact that, during a period of 42 years (from October term, 1827, to May term, 1869, in the Supreme Court) there is no volume of reports containing cases from the middle district (except for the three years when he was upon the bench) in which his name is not found. For fifteen years he was the reporter of the decisions of that court; from 1829 three volumes of "Watts and Penrose," ten volumes of "Watt's report," and nine "Watts and Ser- geant" were issued. On March 9th, 1849, he was commissioned by Gov- ernor Johnson, President Judge of the Ninth Judicial District, containing the counties of Cumberland, Perry and Juni- ata. He retired in 1852, when the judiciary became elective, and resumed liis practice, from which he gradually withdrew in about 1860-69. In August 1871 he was appointed Commissioner of Agriculture by President Hayes. As a man he had great force of character, sterling in- tegrity and as a lawyer, ability, dignity and confidence. He had great power with a jury from their implicit, firm, self-reliant confidence in him. He was always firm self-reliant, despised quirks and quibbles, and was a model of fairness in the trial of a cause. He died at his home in Carlisle on Saturday, August 17th, 1889.
In an editorial by Hon. A. K. McClure on Judge Watts, published in the Philadel- phia Times (August 19, 1889) he says:

BIOGRAPHICAL AND PORTRAIT CYCLOPEDIA.
"Judge Watts' judicial career was brief, but quite long enough to make him memor- able as one of the most dignified, impartial and efficient common law judges of Penn- sylvania. * It was at the bar that Judge Watts exhibited his grandest attri- butes. He was a great lawyer in all the qualities of the legal practitioner. He was exceptionally strong in the profounder characteristics of the profession, and at the same time most thorough as a case lawyer and pleader and unsurpassed as an advo- cate. He was the most popular lawyer in his section of the State, not because of any demagogic attempts to popularize himself with the multitude, but because he was universally regarded as able, skillful and honest. *
* * His appearance in a case was assurance that there must be some merit in his cause, and his dignified cour- tesy and scrupulous fairness in the trial of a case, and his candor, simplicity, earnest- ness and rare eloquence as an advocate, made him the most formidable of antag- onists. ,
Judge Watts was the one man of the in- terior bar who could successfully cope with Thaddeus Stevens. Even the keen invec- tive of Stevens, upon which he so much re- lied, was sparingly employed when Watts was his opponent, and we recall a memor- able will case of thirty years ago, in which Watts and Stevens were the opposing law- yers, as the model jury trial of our Penn- sylvania courts. In unbroken dignity, uni- form courtesy, consummate skill, exhaus- tive effort and persuasive eloquence, we doubt whether it has been surpassed, if ever equalled, in the trials of the State. Both were yet in the full vigor of their physical and intellectual strength, mellowed by the achievements and disappointments of their earlier struggles in the profession; both were masters in their great art; both cher- ished the profoundest contempt for the
clap trap that is so often employed to en- thuse the gallery gods, and each felt him- self matched in his antagonist.
Judge Watts was thus a model lawyer as he was a model judge, and the influence he exerted in dignifying the legal profession and in commanding for it general public trust is yet felt in the region where his pro- fessional efforts are well remembered."
Hon. James H. Graham, the first of the judges after the judiciary became elective, was born in Cumberland county, Septem- ber 10, 1807, graduated from Dickinson College in 1827, studied law under Andrew Carothers, and was admitted to the bar in 1829. In 1839, after the election of Gov. Porter, he was appointed Deputy Attorney General for Cumberland County, which po- sition he filled ably for six years. It may be interesting to state that the third year after his admission to the bar his fees amounted to twelve hundred dollars, and continued steadily to increase until he left the bar for the bench. After the amendment to the Constitution making the judiciary elective, he received the nomination (Democratic) and was elected in October 1851 President Judge of the Ninth Judicial District, com- prising the counties of Perry, Cumberland and Juniata. At the expiration of his term he was re-elected in 1861, serving another full term of ten years. After his retirement from the bench he returned to the practice of law. He died September 26, 1882. In 1862 his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. He was a careful and conscientious judge fond of the common law, of the Coke school, perhaps sometimes severe, but there was never, in the language of Judge Watts, "a breath of imputation against his character as a law- yer or upon his honor as a judge."
Of the prominent practitioners admitted under Judge Graham we have space to mention only one-Samuel Hepburn, Jr.,
107

who became an acknowledged leader of the bar. He was a son of Hon. Samuel Hep- burn, born in Carlisle December 30th, 1839, entered Dickinson College, then went to the University of Virginia, and later to Europe and entered the University of Ber- lin. On his return he read law with his father and was admitted to this bar in 1863. He soon stepped to the front rank of his profession, for his great legal ability was soon recognized and brought him a lucra- tive practice. His reputation as a lawyer was not local; he was particularly well known to the Supreme Court, and in legal circles throughout the State. A handsome man, with Gladstonian face and attractive manners, he looked every inch the thorough lawyer which he was. In thorough train- ing in the fundamental principles of law, (including a knowledge of the Roman Law), in breadth and soundness of judg- ment, in quick discernment, in the strong grasp of broad legal principles and in the deduction therefrom of correct conclus- ions; in subtle distinction and wide gener- alization, as a counselor and as an advo- cate, before the jury or before the court, he had, perchance, but few, if any, super- iors in the State. He died on board the steamer "Iroquois" near Charleston, S. C., while taking a trip to Florida.
Hon. Benjamin F. Junkin, the tenth President-Judge of this Judicial District, was admited to this bar August, 1844. He read law with Hon. Samuel Hepburn. He moved to Bloomfield and became, with the younger McIntyre, a leader of the Perry Co. Bar. He was elected to the 36th Congress, and in 1871 was elected Presi- dent Judge of the Ninth Judicial District,- then composed of Cumberland, Perry and Juniata. He was the last of our perambut- latory judges, for on the redistribution of the district under the Constitution of 1874, he chose Perry and Juniata, and from that
period ceased to preside over the courts of Cumberland county.
Hon. Martin C. Herman, the eleventh President Judge of the Ninth Judicial Dis- trict, was born in Silver's Spring township, Cumberland county, February 14th, 1841. He was graduated from Dickinson College in the class of 1862. In January of this year he had registered as a student of law with B. McIntyre & Son, of the Perry County Bar, but later with Wm. H. Miller, Esq., of Carlisle, under whom he completed his legal studies. He was admitted to the bar in January, 1864. He was elected by the Democratic party President Judge of the Ninth Judicial District, consisting of the county of Cumberland, in 1874, serving his full term of ten years. On the expiration of his term he was renominated by acclama- tion, but was defeated by the Republican candidate. He died, after a stroke of appo- plexy, in Carlisle, on Sunday, January 19, 1896. He was of unimpeachable integrity, careful and conscientious, and very minute ana deliberate in his charges to the jury.
Hon. Wilbur F. Sadler, twelfth President Judge of the District, was born in Adams county, Pa., October 14, 1840, but removed to Cumberland county with his parents in luis infancy. He read law under Mr. Mor- rison, of Williamsport, Pa., and later, fin- ished his legal studies in Carlisle and was admitted to the bar in April, 1865. He soon acquired a large clientage and was elected District Attorney in 1871, and in 1884 President Judge of the district on the Republican ticket. After the expiration of his term he resumed the practice of law, in which he is now engaged.
Hon. Edward W. Biddle, the present Judge of the Judicial District, was born in Carlisle, May 3d, 1852; was graduated from Dickinson College in 1870; read law with Wm. M. Penrose, Esq., and was admitted to the bar in April, 1873. In 1895 he be-

came the candidate of the Republican party, as against the late Hon. M. C. Her- man, (Democratic,) and was elected to the position which he now holds.

CHAPTER VII.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
I F NOW in tracing the medical history of the district we could turn back "the sunlit hemisphere of modern science" to that position which it occupied at the time the first physician came west of the Susquehanna, we would find the medical profession poorly equipped indeed, compared to its fitting out today, for the conquest of disease.
In pioneer days Lancaster was the near- est town to any of the little settlements planted in the great wilderness regions of the district, and in case of any serious sick- ness or severe injury if a physician was called it was most likely he came from Lancaster, but there is no account of any visiting physician from Lancaster let alone any record or the name of the first one. The next chance of the pioneers to secure medical attention was from the phy- sicians or surgeons who accompanied the military forces sent west of the Susque- hanna river during the French and Indian war but of such possible services there ex- ists neither history nor tradition.
First Resident Physicians. From what little can be learned of pioneer times it seems that Dr. David Jameson, of York, is entitled to the honor of being the first resident physician in the territory of the present Nineteenth Congressional District. Dr. Jameson was born and reared in Scot- land where he received his education and studied medicine and surgery. He came to Pennsylvania about 1740 and pushing out to the frontier became one of the first
inhabitants of the town of York. He was a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, a fine physician and surgeon and served as an officer in the French and Indian war and in the Revolutionary struggle. His sons Horatio G. and Thomas were celebrated physicians, and the former served as presi- dent, at different times, of Washington and Ohio Medical colleges.
Another finely educated and skillful phy- sician who came to the frontier and after- wards became prominent in military life was Dr. William Irvine, who was educated at the University of Dublin and settled in 1763, at Carlisle where lie had an extensive practice for nearly forty years. He re- moved in 1801, to Philadelphia, where he died three years later.
The third physician in order of practice was a Dr. Kennedy, of York county, about 1760, and he was followed by Dr. William Plunkett, of whom we only have record that he was "a practitioner of physic in 1766," at Carlisle.
Physicians 1766 -- 1896. Succeeding Dr. Jameson, at York, came Drs. Peter Hawk, in 1780; Thomas Jameson, 1790; Charles Ludwig, John Rouse and Peter Lansing, about 1800; Luke Rouse and Henry Nes, about 1825; Charles M. Nes, 1845, and S. T. Rouse, 1861. The physicians of Hanover up to 1881 have been Drs. John Baker, before the Revolutionary war; Peter Miller and Dr. Wampler, about 1803; the Culbertsons, father and son; Dr. Ecker, G. W. Hinkle and Dr. Smith, and J. P. Smith.
