FRANK CALEB STURGES.
held the office during his life. He died November 20, 1689. Lieutenant Daniel Benedict, son of Thomas Benedict, was born at Southold, Long Island, and after his removal to Norwalk, Conn., married Mary, daughter of Matthew Marvin. He was a soldier in the swamp fight, December 19, 1675, which has scarcely a parallel in the annals of ancient or modern warfare. At a town (Norwalk) meeting, January, 12, 1676: "The towne, in consideration of the good service that the soldiers sent out of the towne ingaged and performed by them, and out of respect and thankfulness to the sayd soldiers, doe, with one consent and freely, give and grant to so many as were in the direful swamp fight twelve acors of land, and eight acors of land to so many as were in the next considerable service." In 1690 he removed to Danbury, Conn. The date of his death is not known. Mrs. Sturges was the great-great-granddaughter of Lieutenant Daniel Bene- dict. Rev. Thomas Benedict Sturges is the son of Joseph Por- ter Sturges and his wife, Laura Benedict, and was born in Bridge- port, Conn., in 1812. He is still living at Greenfield Hill, where for thirty years he was the Congregational minister of that vil- lage. It is a fact worthy of note that the only vote he ever cast for a presidential candidate was for James G. Blaine in 1884. His wife, who is still living, is Hannah West Baker, daughter of the late Chauncy Baker, of Sacketts Harbor, N. Y. Mr. Baker was bred a farmer, and settled at Sacketts Harbor ; was sheriff of Jef- ferson county, N. Y., cashier of the bank, a very intellectual man, of active business habits, and a devoted member of the Presby- . terian church. After the decease of his wife his health declined, and he was induced to try a warmer climate, for which purpose he went to Cuba, where he died of consumption February 28, 1841, aged forty-two years. Mrs. Baker was the daughter of Josiah Pratt, of Ellisburg, Jefferson county, N. Y. He com- menced a sea-faring life at the age of seventeen, and until the war of 1812 was mate or commander of a vessel, when he sold his possessions in Saybrook, Conn., and removed to the state of New York, where he died. He was a descendant of Lieutenant William Pratt, who is supposed to have come from Hertfordshire, England, to Cambridge, Mass., in 1633, and thence to Hartford, Conn., in 1636, and subsequently to Saybrook. The precise date

of his decease is not known. He attended the General Court as a deputy from Saybrook the twenty-third and last time at the session which convened at Hartford in 1678. Captain William Pratt, son of Lieutenant William Pratt, settled at Saybrook, Feb- ruary 20, 1768. He was a man of note in the civil, military, and religious affairs of the town, being often appointed selectman, sur- veyor, captain of the militia, and on committees of the church. Mrs. Sturges was the great-great-great-granddaughter of Captain William Pratt.
Frank Caleb Sturges is the son of Rev. Thomas Benedict Sturges, and was educated at the academy in his native town, and also in the academy at Easton, Conn. He studied law with his brother, E. B. Sturges, of the Lackawanna county bar, and was admitted to the Luzerne county bar October 18, 1875. He mar- ried, April 1, 1880, Frances E. Lazarus, daughter of the late Daniel Lazarus, of this city, who was a son of John Lazarus, a native of Northampton county, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Sturges have .but one child, Thomas Benedict Sturges. Mr. Sturges is a man of fine qualifications for the profession he has chosen. He brings with him from " the land of steady habits" a disposition very aptly defined in that title, and that, we need not say, is likely to be serviceable to any young man who undertakes to give his life to, and stake his chances upon, the practice of the law. Relia- bility in the matter of a lawyer's promises, for instance, is better for the client, and a better stock in trade, even when unaccom- panied by brilliancy, than the brilliancy that lacks it for a com- panion quality. Studiouness in research and persistency of quiet devotion to a cause, in like manner do well as substitutes for that faculty which only a few possess, and most of those few abuse, of carrying the law at one's finger ends. Steady habits, when ac- companied by even very moderate ability, generally make their way in the world, and, as we have already in effect said, Mr. Sturges unites with them a very creditable understanding and appreciation of the principles of the law and skill in applying them.

JOHN BUTLER REYNOLDS.
JOHN BUTLER REYNOLDS.
John Butler Reynolds was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., August 5, 1850. He is the son of the late Elijah W. Reynolds, for many years a prominent merchant in Wilkes-Barre, whose home dur- ing the latter years of his life was in Kingston, and grandson of Benjamin Reynolds, who was a representative and substantial man, and who was sheriff of Luzerne county from 1831 to 1834. . He was also for many years a justice of the peace in Plymouth. E. W. Reynolds from May, 1848, to May, 1849, was president of the town council of the borough of Wilkes-Barre. For many years he was a director in the Wyoming Bank at Wilkes-Barre. Although a very popular man and a democrat in politics, he uniformly declined being a candidate for any political office .. The mother of J. B. Reynolds is Mary, a daughter of the late Pierce Butler. He was a son of the late General Lord Butler, and grandson of Colonel Zebulon Butler. He was a farmer and the very soul of generosity. His deeds of benevolence are still fresh in the memory of many persons who yet remain with us. The mother of Pierce Butler was Mary Pierce, daughter of Abel Pierce. He settled in Kingston before the massacre, on the river bank opposite the present city of Wilkes-Barre. Doctor Peck, in his History of Early Methodism, says: Mrs. Ruth Pierce, · wife of Abel Pierce, became an early convert to Methodism, and her house was a most pleasant home for the preachers. 'Grand- mother Pierce' was at all the meetings in Wilkes-Barre when the writer traveled the Wyoming circuit in 1818 and 1819, and then she was the life of every circle she entered. She was independ- ent, frank, earnest, kindhearted, sociable, and not a little eccentric. * Methodism owes much to the Pierce family, but prin- cipally to the female portion of it." The wife of Pierce Butler was Temperance Colt, a daughter of Arnold Colt. He was a son of Harris Colt, and grandson of Benjamin Colt, an early set- tler in Lyme, New London county, Conn. Arnold Colt was born in Lyme September 10, 1760. He learned the trade of a
496

blacksmith and of a general worker in iron, and in the year 1786 emigrated from Connecticut to the Wyoming Valley. In 1788 he married Lucinda Yarrington, daughter of Abel Yarrington, a native of Norwich, Conn., and one of the early settlers in Wyom- ing, and who for many years was collector of taxes and keeper of the Wilkes-Barre and Kingston ferry. He remained at his post at the ferry on the day of the massacre until the yell of the savages announced their approach. He then took his family in the ferry boat, descended the river and found welcome and safety among the benevolent inhabitants at Fort Augusta (now Sunbury), Pa. From 1790 to 1793, and from 1795 to 1801, he was coroner of Luzerne county, and for several years he was treasurer of the county. In 1790 Arnold Colt was appointed collector of excise for Luzerne county, and in 1791 he was re-appointed, and in the same year was appointed justice of the peace for Wilkes-Barre township. He served as ensign in the company of infantry com- manded by Captain Samuel Bowman, which was sent into west- ern Pennsylvania in 1794 to assist in quelling the whisky insur- rection. In 1795 he moved with his family to Tioga Point, Lu- zerne county, now Athens, Bradford county. While residing there in 1798 he was elected sheriff of Luzerne county, and soon thereafter removed to Wilkes-Barre. In 1799 he was United States assessor for Luzerne county. From 1801 to 1804, and again from 1825 to 1828, he was one of the commissioners of Luzerne county. He was elected in May, 1806, a member of the first borough council of Wilkes-Barre. From 1807 to 1811 he was one of the trustees of the old Wilkes-Barre Academy. For many years he was clerk to the board of county commissioners. From May, 1826, to May, 1827, and from May, 1828, to May, 1829, he was president of the town council of Wilkes-Barre. He was a member of the first board of managers of the Easton and Wilkes-Barre turnpike, and continued in the board for about fifteen years.
J. B. Reynolds studied law with W. W. Lathrope, then of the Luzerne (now of the Lackawanna), county bar, and was admitted to the bar of Luzerne county November 15, 1875. He was edu- cated at Wyoming Seminary and La Fayette College at Easton. For the last four years he has been one of the examiners of the
497
JOHN BUTLER REYNOLDS.
Orphans' Court of Luzerne county, and during a portion of that time was the only examiner. In 1884 he was a delegate to the state convention which convened at Allentown, Pa., and was se- lected as one of the delegates to the national convention which met at Chicago. As Lackawanna county had not a delegate, Mr. Reynolds resigned his position, so as to allow them to select one. He married, October 21, 1879, Emily Bradley Dain, of Peekskill, N. Y. She is the daughter of Nathaniel Dain, a native of Lisbon, Me., and a graduate of Bowdoin College. Mr. Dain studied medicine and practiced for awhile in Boston, Mass., but his health failing him he began to travel ; went west, and returning settled at Peekskill and engaged in the lumber trade, which he has con- tinued until the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have two children living, Pierce Butler Reynolds, and Eugene Beaumont Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds is a lawyer of good attainments. Al- though without pretensions to forensic skill, he makes a strong argument, whether in court or upon the stump. His style is but little more than conversational, yet is not without a certain grace that adds no little to its effectiveness. As the standard of intelli- gence in jurors rises-the rise should be, but is not always, in pro- portion to the increasing intelligence of the whole people-de- pendence upon this method of oratory in jury trials becomes at once more common and more effective. It almost invariably is preferable from every point of view when the bench is to be ad- dressed. It will be a better day for clients when juries as well as judges look more to the substance than to the verbal garniture of a presentation or a summing up. In his capacity as Orphans' Court examiner Mr. Reynolds' knowledge of this branch of the law has been materially enhanced and brightened. Several cases with which he has been called to deal in that capacity exhibit strong evi- dence of his persistence and patience in investigation, and correct and discriminating judgment. Mr. Reynolds' name has been many times mentioned as that of a probable democratic candidate for district attorney. That distinction would, in all probability, have been already accorded him but for the assumed political neces- sity of distributing the party nominations each year among the numerous nationalities of which the party is composed, and the numerous towns, or sections, to which the county extends. He

was a prominent candidate for the position of collector of inter- nal revenue for the Tenth district, lately filled by the appoint- ment of Charles B. Staples, Esq., of Stroudsburg, Monroe county. Here again locality was against him. The very formidable array of leading citizens who endorsed his application attested the high esteem in which he is held in the district, but the appointment had been conceded to Congressman Storm, who, admitting Mr. Reynolds' fitness and deserving, made, for reasons which he deemed sufficient, a different selection. Mr. Reynolds is young, ambitious, of good social standing, well read in general literature, ·and in every particular a good citizen.
JOHN ASAHEL GORMAN.
. John Asahel Gorman was born in Hazleton September 7, 1854, and was there educated in the public schools. His father, John Gorman, has been a resident of Hazleton for many years. He is now, and has been for the past fifteen years, a justice of the. peace of that borough, and has also been United States assistant assessor of internal revenue, councilman, poor director, and one of the directors of the public schools. He is a native of Cashel, in the county of Tipperary, Ireland, and emigrated with his father, also named John Gorman, at the age of eighteen years to this country, settling at St. Josephs, Susquehanna county, where his father lies burried. The mother of John A. Gorman is Sarah Ann Shipman, a daughter of Asahel Shipman. She is a native of Dover, N. J. Her parents removed to Hazleton, where she met the father of the subject of our sketch, and was there mar- ried. John A. Gorman studied law with the late Jabez Alsover, of Hazleton, and completed his legal studies with the legal firm of Little & Blakeslee, at Montrose, Pa. He was admitted to the bar of Susquehanna county August 15, 1875, and to the bar of Luzerne county January 10, 1876. He has never held any polit- ical office, and is a democrat in politics. He married, October 10, 1876, Ellen Kelley, a daughter of Cornelius Kelley, of Hazle

township. Her father is a native of county Leitrim, Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. Gorman have two children living, James Gorman and Cornelius Gorman. Mr. Gorman has, from the beginning of his practice, held a leading position in the profession in what is known as " the lower end" of the county, where Hazleton is lo- cated. There are material specialties in the demands made upon a lawyer practicing at a point distant from a county seat, and it has been Hazleton's misfortune that, while but twenty-five miles, or thereabouts, from Wilkes-Barre, as the bird flies, it is several times that by the shortest rail route. Practice before the justices covers a higher and more important character of cases, and office practice is different. These facts give a really good lawyer so situated a better opportunity of earning both reputation and money than might be supposed by those who neglect to take them into consideration. Mr. Gorman, in his comparatively short time at the bar, has made excellent use of his opportunity. He has also brought a good deal of business from Hazleton and that vicinity to the courts, where he 'has acquitted himself of it very creditably. He has a natural tendency to politics, and is a democrat. Though never himself a candidate for office, he has frequently served on committees, and otherwise in a leading ca- pacity, during campaigns. He delights in helping friends at the primary elections and in conventions, and in that way has from time to time exerted much influence. He is an earnest and in- pressive talker, has an energy that carries him vigorously for- ward in any cause in which his sympathies are enlisted, and en- joys a considerable popularity .n his section.
ANDREW HAMILTON MCCLINTOCK.
Andrew Hamilton McClintock was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., December 12, 1852. He is the only son of Andrew Todd McClintock, LL.D., the senior member of the Luzerne county bar, whose biography has already appeared in this series. His mother is Augusta Bradley McClintock (nee Cist), a daughter of
5 00
ANDREW HAMILTON MCCLINTOCK.
the late Jacob Cist, of this city. Mr. McClintock was educated at the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, and graduated in the class of 1872. He read law with his father, also with E. P. & J. V. Darling, and was admitted to the bar of Luzerne county Jan- uary, 20, 1876. He married, December 1, ISSO, Eleanor Welles, a daughter of Charles F. Welles, jun. He was a native of Brad- ford county, Pa., and was born about the year 1812. He re- ceived his education in the schools of his neighborhood, and early commenced business life in the pursuits of farming, lum- bering, and merchandizing. His first ventures on his own ac- count were in the lumber trade. He was in the habit, in the spring of the year, during the " freshet " season, of constructing "rafts,"which he would float down the Susquehanna to Middletown, Columbia, or Port Deposit, where he would find a market. Often, upon his passage down the river, he would purchase other "rafts," thus accumulating large quantities of lumber, and greatly in- creasing his profit. On one occasion meeting with an opportunity for an unusually profitable investment, but lacking the capital nec- essary to embark in the speculation, he concluded to, and did, make application to George M. Hollenback, of Wilkes-Barre, for as- sistance. Being known to that gentleman as an industrious, en- ergetic, honest young man, he received, without security, for he had none to offer other than his good name, the required assist- ance. The investment proved successful, the borrowed money was duly returned, and the borrower and lender, in this instance, became life-long friends. Having been uniformly prosperous in his transactions in lumber, and having accumulated thereby some capital, he, about the year IS35, purchased the stock for a small country store, the building for which he erected in his native township between the time of his purchase of the supplies in Philadelphia and their arrival at his home. Good fortune con- tinuing to follow him in his mercantile ventures, he established branch stores along the line of construction on the North Branch Canal, and continued these commercial pursuits until the suspen_ sion of that public work. In 1843 he removed to Athens, Pa., and entered into business on a largely extended scale, but finally relinquished all connection with trade, in order to devote his entire attention to large and lucrative operations in public works

and the construction of great improvements. Among the many railroad, and other enterprises, in which he was engaged, the following are but a few : In 1850 and 1851 he contracted to build a section of fourteen miles on the New York & Erie railroad near Hornellsville; in 1852, forty-five miles of the Buffalo and State Line railroad; in 1854, forty-five miles of the second track of the Erie railroad, from Owego to the junc- tion west of Elmira ; also the second track of the same road from Deposit to Lanesboro; also the second track on the same road from Port Jervis to Otisville. One of the largest contracts into which he ever entered was the construction of that part of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad east of Scranton. This was a remarkably heavy work, much of it costing in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars per mile to grade, the supplies for which had to be transported from thirty to fifty miles in wagons over a mountainous road. In the completion of this undertaking he displayed great energy and untiring in- dustry. Immediately after he undertook the construction of a large portion of the Warren railroad in New Jersey, and the Lackawanna & Bloomsburg railroad extending from Scran- ton, to Bloomsburg, through the coal regions of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys. In 1856 he constructed the Brunswick & Florida railroad, and was its president for two years, when he resigned. The governor of Pennsylvania refusing to sign an appropriation for the completion of the North Branch canal un- less a northern connection was first secured with the canal sys- tem of New York, he, in 1854, induced several of his friends to join him in furnishing the capital to construct the Junction canal, extending from the Chemung canal at Elmira, N. Y., to the state line near Waverly. The North Branch canal being subsequently closed, he and his associates who joined in the enterprise lost the entire investment. In 1856 he, in connection with his partner and cousin, Henry S. Welles, contracted to erect the Brooklyn water works. Previous to this they had undertaken to supply the city of Williamsburg with water from certain lakes and water courses on Long Island; and during the progress of the work the contract was entered into to construct the extensive reser- voirs to supply the consolidated cities. This important work

was completed in the most satisfactory manner, at a cost of about five millions of dollars. The energy and financial ability which were required to successfully accomplish this great undertaking * in the midst of the money crisis of 1857, when many of the oldest and hitherto most reliable business houses in the country were prostrated, are especially worthy of notice. In 1857 he purchased a half interest in an extensive lumber establishment at Menominee river, on Green Bay, which, after holding for about seven years, he disposed of on advantageous terms. In 1859 he bought the entire line of the North Branch canal and. having sold the portion extending from Wilkes-Barre southward, he organized the North Branch Canal Company and shipped the first Wyoming coal to Chicago and the West, thus inaugurating a trade which has since had a large expansion. His main object in securing this canal-a purchase he made known to only a few confidential friends-was to change it to a railway route. In pursuance of this project the Pennsylvania & New York Canal and Railroad Company was subsequently formed, and its fran- chises sold in 1865 to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. Under the auspices of the latter company the railway, now known as the Pennsylvania & New York, connecting the Lehigh Val- ley railroad at Wilkes-Barre with the Erie at Waverly-one hun- dred and five miles-was constructed and opened for traffic in September, 1869. He acted as president of this corporation un- til January, 1870. Securing the construction of the Ithaca & Athens railroad, and of the extension of the "Southern Central " from Owego to Athens, he completed both works and accon- plished the great ambition of his life, living to see a continuous line of railroads, in great part the result of his own labors, ex- tending from the Susquehanna at Wyoming to the great lakes. These were some of his principal undertakings, and are evidences of a boldness, foresight, and confidence in the ability to achieve not often possessed by any one man. Over attention to business and continuous mental exertion finally impaired his health and shattered his constitution ; hence for several years previous to his death he was obliged to abstain from great mental exertion He died suddenly on October 9, 1872, while in conversation with his associates of the Southern Central Directory, at Auburn, N

Y. The wife of C. F. Welles, jun., was Elizabeth, a daughter of Hon. John La Porte, of Bradford county. His father, Bartholo- mew, one of the French exiles who remained in the land that gave him shelter when his own country rejected him, although after the Restoration he was at liberty to return, was also a noted man in the county. He served as county commissioner of Brad- ford county in 1819, 1820, and 1821. John La Porte was born in Asylum November 4, 1798, and died August 22, 1862. He was first elected to office in Bradford county in 1822, as county auditor. From 1827 to 1832, inclusive, he served his district in the legislature, being speaker of the house during the latter year : , was elected to congress in 1832, and re-elected in 1834; was appointed associate judge of the county in 1837 and held the position until 1845, when he was appointed surveyor general of the state by Governor Shunk, and held that position until 1851. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. McClintock have an only child, Andrew Todd McClintock. Mr. McClintock, as from the foregoing will fully appear, has his good fortune to thank for inherited qualities and an unusually liberal education that ought some day to place him in the very front rank of the leading members of the bar. His father has long enjoyed a very large and very lucrative prac- tice, numbering among his regular clients some of the wealthiest citizens and most extensive corporations doing business, or hav- ing property interests, in the Wyoming Valley. In their behalf he has been, and still is, engaged in hundreds of suits involving large amounts of property and delicate legal interpretations that have taken him to the Supreme Court with greater frequency, perhaps, than any of his brother professionals. Warned by his accumulating years that he can no longer withstand the strain of constant application and labor that have been exacted of him for so long a time, he is gradually withdrawing from active practice, goes no more to court, supreme or local, and does as little even in his office as the circumstances will permit. These changes are all to the advantage of the son, to whom the bulk of the father's practice will naturally fall. Trained under his father, and familiar, therefore, with the interests for which the latter has so long and so successfully cared, Andrew H. McClintock can take hold where the father lets go with a very reasonable certainty that the client-
504
ANDREW HAMILTON MCCLINTOCK.
age will lose less by the change than by any the elder Mcclintock's not having such a son might involve. Like the father, Andrew H. McClintock is a man of massive build, of methodical habits, great powers of endurance, and the capacity of doing much work while not seeming to exert himself. He is a familiar in all the chief walks of general literature, having a marked taste therefor, and, being a ready conversationalist and always well in- formed as to the topics of the day, is a valuable addition to any social company. He has a taste for historic and scientific studies, and is one of the most active members of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, and is one of the trustees of the Osterhout Free Library. He is a democrat in politics, and though without any taste for active campaigning, has, never- theless, done not a little quiet, but effective, legitimate work for his party. He has every qualification for success in his chosen profession, and as already shown, rare opportunities for making its practice at once lucrative in a pecuniary way, and the basis of a first-class professional reputation.
