(IX) Orlo James, son of Dr. Asa L. Ham- lin, was born in Sharon, Connecticut, Decem- ber 2, 1803, died at Smethport, Pennsylvania, February 13, 1880. He was educated in such schools as that early day provided in Wayne and Bradford counties, Pennsylvania, and seems to have so well improved his opportun- ities that in 1824 he was appointed teacher of the pioneer school at Towanda, Bradford county. While holding that position he read law in the office of Simon Kinney, and two years later was admitted to the bar. In 1826 he was admitted with John W. Howe, ex gratia member of the Mckean county bar. He at once began practice, locating in Smethport, and rose to the highest distinction in his profession and in public esteem. He began his political life in 1828, when he took a leading part in the campaign. He was elected to the state legis- lature and made his first great speech in sup- port of a state road through Mckean county. In July, 1836, he was admitted to practice in the supreme court of the state, and in 1837 practiced before the United States district court at Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
He was active in public and professional life and writing in 1852 says he has filled the offices of "township collector, deputy postmaster, deputy prothonotary, recorder and register, treasurer of the township road funds for two years, postmaster three years, deputy United States marshal to take the census of 1830, deputy attorney-general for McKean and Pot- ter counties and in 1832 member of the legis- lature." He makes the further statement :
186
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
"Complaint has never reached my ear of mis- management in any of the offices and I could have held them much longer had I chosen to do so. I have learned to consider office rather as a matter of accident and peculiar fortune than the result of talent and management and I have observed that those who seem most desirous of office are least fortunate in obtain- ing it-consistency in politics should never be lost sight of." After resigning his seat in the constitutional convention in 1837 (which framed the constitution of the state of Penn- sylvania) he partially recovered his health, sadly broken by his labors in the convention. He practiced with great success up to 1851, but for over twenty years prior to his death never appeared in court, his last public case being in 1849, when he aided the district attor- ney in the prosecution of Uzza Robbins on trial for murder, of which he was convicted. Though physically weak he was possessed of rare mental power ; an analyst by nature, he was logical in all things and each proposition submitted for his opinion was subjected to this process of logical dissection, so when the con- clusion was reached it was an eminently just and proper one.
During the last twenty years of his life, while barred from professional labor, he took up the study of French, German, astronomy, geology and zoology, using in his studies the physical assistance of members of his family. In his early life Mr. Hamlin was skeptical in regard to the immortality of his soul, but in 1845 he became a member of the Presbyterian church of Smethport and was baptized. His faith grew stronger as the years ripened and he died in full confidence of a blessed immortality. He was deeply mourned, his death calling forth most fitting eulogy from his brethren of the profession, the press and private friends. He was a resident of Mckean county over half a century, and as pioneer lawyer, public official or friend always measured up to the full stature of manhood.
.
He married, in Norwich township, McKean county, Pennsylvania, January 13. 1828, Orra Lucinda Cogswell, born in Griswold, Connecti- cut, September 10, 1804, died in Smethport, April 17, 1880, daughter of John and Dolly Cogswell, of Griswold, Connecticut.

(X) Henry, son of Orlo James Hamlin, was born in Smethport, Pennsylvania, April 9, 1830. He inherited his father's love for books and research, and after his preparatory edu- cation was obtained began the study of law. Finding his health demanded a less sedentary occupation he engaged as clerk in the mercan- tile establishment of O. J. and B. D. Hamlin. At the age of nineteen years he was admitted a partner, continuing most successfully until 1878, when he sold out his interest in the busi- ness to Mr. Hoskell. His later business life has been spent in oil, timber and banking ven- tures and have brought him large returns. His holding of timber lands in Pennsylvania and other states was very large, while his oil, bank- ing and commercial ventures have been man- aged with a wisdom most wonderful. His faculty for acquiring a complete knowledge of the most intricate detail of every enterprise submitted to him has been the great secret of his success, rarely making a mistake or suffer- ing a loss in his investments. He established in 1863 the banking house of Henry Hamlin, in Smethport, which became one of the solid financial institutions of western Pennsylvania. He was one of the original organizers of the Smethport Water Works Company, and has been concerned in the founding of every public enterprise of merit in his borough. He is an ex-president of the First National Bank of Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, and senior mem- ber of the banking house of Henry Hamlin & Sons. established 1863, now the Hamlin Bank and Trust Company, of which he is president.

Besides the erection of a hand- some bank building and a fine residence, Mr. Hamlin has further beautified Smethport by the erection and endowment of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, of which he and his family are communicants and he senior warden. This is but one of his many benevolences to religious and charitable societies and well illustrates his generous Christian character. He was a Dem- ocrat originally, but dissented with his party on the question of human slavery and supported the candidacy of Abraham Lincoln. In 1881 he was elected associate judge of Mckean county, holding that office until the abolislı- ment of same by Mckean county becoming a separate judicial district.
