HON. EDWARD W. BIDDLE, late President Judge of Cumberland county, Pa., a son of Edward M. and Juliana (Watts) Biddle, was born in Carlisle May 3, 1852, and has resided there all his life. Sketches of the Biddle and Watts families, both of which have furnished to the world distinguished men, are given elsewhere in this volume.
After passing through the public schools to the high school, the subject of this sketch entered Dickinson College and was grad- uated from that institution with high stand- ing in June, 1870, the youngest member of his class. After spending several months in civil engineering he commenced the study of law in the office of his cousin, William M. Penrose, Esq., and was admitted to the Bar in April, 1873. From that time he gave his attention almost exclusively to his chosen profession and pursued a wide range of legal studies. In 1877 and again in 1883 he was . unanimously nominated by the Republican county convention for the office of district attorney and on both occasions ran far ahead of his ticket, but was not elected in either instance.
These political episodes did not in any . way interfere with his professional work, and for many years prior to his election to the judgeship he had charge of some of the most important cases and largest interests in Cumberland county. In 1885 he was selected as one of the assignees for the

benefit of creditors of P. A. Ahl and D. V. Ahl. individually and trading as P. A. Ahl & Bro., who had valuable landed possessions in several States and whose affairs were much involved. In the capacity of assignee and as attorney for the three estates he was instrumental in carrying to a successful ter- mination the most intricate equity litigation ever conducted in Cumberland county. as well as an important equity suit in Hagers- town. Md. His minute attention to details and the thorough grasp of the law which he displayed in the above and other cases brought to his office an extensive miscella- neous practice. In the fall of 1894 he was elected to the position of President Judge of Cumberland county, and on the first Monday of the following January entered on the duties of a ten years' judicial term. In De- cember, 1903, having other lines of work in view, he announced in the newspapers his intention of retiring from the Bench at the expiration of his term of office and declined under any circumstances to be a candidate for re-election. He was an active mem- ber of the law reform committee of the Pennsylvania Bar Association from the or- ganization of that body in 1895 until 1904.
On Feb. 2, 1882, he married Gertrude D., a daughter of J. Herman and Mary J. (Kirk) Bosler, of Carlisle, to which union two children have been born: Herman Bos- ler, born April 14, 1883, and Edward Mac- funn, born May 29, 1886. In the latter part of 1899 he and Mrs. Biddle were appointed on the Board of Pennsylvania Commission- ers to the Paris Exposition, and in pursu- ance of their appointment officially visited the Exposition in the following summer, ac- companied by their two boys, and then made a tour of Europe. Since 1898 Judge Biddle has been a trustee of Dickinson College and a member of its executive and investment
committees. He has frequently written and spoken on historical subjects, and his pub- lished address in 1902 on Three Signers of the Declaration of Independence who were Members of the Cumberland County Bar attracted a good deal of attention.
JAMES EVELYN PILCHER, M. D., A. M., PH. D., L. H. D., editor, author, lecturer, military surgeon, now residing in Carlisle, Pa., has lived a life of usefulness to his fellow men, and has won for himself a high place in surgical and military circles.
When William the Conqueror went from Normandy to England, he had in his com- pany one Pylchir, who became the ancestor of the English Pilchers. He remained in England, and held some office at the court of William.
The family was first planted in America in the latter part of the seventeenth century, the emigrant settling at Dumfries, Prince William Co., Va., a town eventually washed away by the inundations of the James river.
After the close of the war of the Revolu- tion, James Pilcher, the great-grandfather of James Evelyn Pilcher, became prominent in the public affairs of the new government, and was one of the first active Abolitionists.
Stephen Pilcher, son of James, was born in Prince William county, in 1772, and on attaining mature years he crossed the moun- tains and came to the North, finally settling in Athens, Ohio, where he became a leading citizen. For many years he held the office of justice of the peace. His occupation was that of a farmer, but he devoted a large por- tion of his time to public affairs, and was exceedingly interested in educational mat- ters. With his own hands he helped lay the foundation of the Ohio State University. His wife was Eleanor J. Selby, a member of a distinguished family.

Elijah Holmes Pilcher, A. M., M. D., S. T. D .. LL. D., son of Stephen, was born in Athens. Ohio, in 1810. He attended the Ohio State University for a time, but left it at the end of his Sophomore year to prepare for the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church. For fifty years he was a well known divine of that faith in the United States. In 1830 he went to Michigan, and became active in the work of progress in that State, where he was one of the founders of Albion College. He was the founder of the Michigan Christian Advocate, published at Detroit, and at one time he was regent of the University of Michigan. In Coldwater, Mich., he married, May 24. 1842, Phoebe Maria Fisk, daughter of James Fisk; first cousin of Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury in the cabinet of Andrew Jackson ; and later United States Senator and Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; great-granddaughter of Lieut. James Wood- bury, who served with Wolfe at the storm- ing of Quebec ; and granddaughter of Capt. Peleg Ransom, of Ulster county, N. Y., a soldier of the Revolution. To their mar- riage were born three children: Lewis Stephen, A. M., M. D., LL. D., of New York, editor of Annals of Surgery, and one of the most distinguished surgeons in the United States ; Leander William, D. D., who at his death in 1893 was president of Pekin University, Pekin, China ; and James Eve- lyn. The father died in New York city in 1887, and was buried in Greenwood cem- etery. The mother passed away in Romeo, Mich., Aug. 26, 1866.
James Evelyn Pilcher was born in Adrian, Mich., March 18, 1857. Like the other members of the family he was given exceptionally good educational facilities. In 1879 he was graduated from the University of Michigan with the degree of A. B .; in
18So he received the degree of M. D. from the Long Island College Hospital; in 1887 the degrees A. M. and Ph. D. from the Illinois Wesleyan University; and in 1902 L. H. D. from Allegheny College. Imme- diately after his graduation in 1880, he be- came managing editor of the Annals of Anatomy and Surgery, a position he most creditably filled until 1883, when he entered the Medical Department of the United States Army as Assistant Surgeon, with the rank of Lieutenant. In 1888 he was advanced to the rank of Captain. In 1898 at the breaking out of the Spanish-American war he was made Brigade Surgeon, with the rank of Major; he was Surgeon of one of the first regiments sent South, serving in that capacity at Mobile and Tampa, and later going to Jacksonville as Chief Surgeon of the forces under Gen. Lawton. When the forces of that General were formed into the Seventh Army Corps under the command of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, he remained with them in the capacity of Executive and Medical Supply Officer until the fall of 1899, when he was detached and placed in command of the Army Medical Supply Depot, established at Savannah, Ga., a duty which occupied his attention until failing health required him to relinquish active service, and in 1900 he was placed on the retired list. During his army career he experienced considerable ser- vice in the field against the Sioux, Crow and Cheyenne Indians, and against Mexican in- surrectos. He was the author of the first system of drill for the United States Army Hospital Corps, published in the United States, and his work on "First Aid in Illness and Injury," the first edition of which was issued in 1892, lias maintained its position as the principal text-book for the instruction of the Hospital Corps from its publication to the present time. In 1896 he was appointed
14
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Assistant Secretary of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, be- coming secretary and editor in 1897-a posi- tion which with an interval of two years he has held to the present time. Under his guidance this association has grown from a comparatively small voluntary organization to be an important official body incorporated by Congress and recognized by the United States government and by foreign powers. He established the Journal of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States as a quarterly in 1901, and as a monthly in 1902.
Besides his work in the army, Dr. Pilcher has filled chairs of military surgery in a number of institutions of learning, being Lecturer on Military Hygiene, Starling Medical College, 1896; Professor of Mil- itary Surgery, Ohio Medical University, 1896-97; Professor of Military Surgery, Creighton Medical College, 1897-99; Pro- fessor of Anatomy and Embryology, Dick- inson College, 1899-1900; Emeritus Pro- fessor of Military Surgery, Ohio Medical University, 1898; Professor of Medical Jurisprudence, Dickinson School of Law, 1899; and Professor of Sociology, Dickin- son College, 1900-1902.
Dr. Pilcher has spent a busy life, but has found time to give his valuable researches and practical ideas to the world. The articles from his pen are numerous, among them being : "First Aid in Illness and Injury," English Edition, London, 1892-American Editions, New York, 1892, 1894, 1896, 1897, 1898. 1899, 1901 (this work is a recognized authority in the United States, being the official text book of the United States Army and Navy, and of the American Red Cross) ; "Life and Labors of Elijah H.

IRA DAY, M. D. Among the honored names of the citizens of Mechanicsburg, who, after a long life of the utmost useful- ness, have passed out of life, that of Dr. Ira Day will long be recalled. Dr. Day was born near the close of the seventeenth century, Aug. 17, 1799, and died at Mechanics- burg, in November, 1868, son of Benjamin Day, who was born in Connecticut, in 1755, and died in 1829.
The Day family has been prominent in New England since early times, it being founded at Boston, Mass., by Robert Day, who came from England, where he was born in 1604, to the American shores in 1634, on the good ship "Elizabeth." He was father of two sons, Thomas and John, and from the latter descended the branch of the family in which we are most interested. In later times the family settled in Connecticut, and Benjamin Day later removed to Royalton, Vt., where he reared these children : Alfred, Spaulding, Mary, Benjamin, Asa, Ira, Joel, Gad and Dan.
Ira Day remained in his native place until the age of sixteen years, and then leaving Vermont with his brother Gad settled in Pennsylvania, where he studied medicine, returning to Vermont, however, to graduate from a college at Burlington. He then re- turned to his former home in Adams county,. Pa., and in 1828 came to Cumberland county. Here for forty years he faithfully practiced his profession, becoming the leading physi- cian at Mechanicsburg and one of the most skilled in all Cumberland county. His prac- tice covered a large country territory, over which he was respected and beloved far be- yond that of any other citizen :. In his day there could be no more fatiguing calling than that of a medical practitioner who faithfully met the demands of his patients. Dr. Day
16
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
was not only eminent in his profession, but he was also a very prominent citizen, and was identified with all public movements in and around Mechanicsburg. For many years he was one of the trustees of Dickinson Col- lege at Carlisle, and he was interested in all the educational reforms in the county, giving time and advice to further such enterprises which promised benefit to the community. In politics Dr. Day always supported the principles of the old Democracy, and exerted a wide influence in political circles. He was a Mason, and one of the charter members of the I. O. O. F.
