3 Robert Hamilton Koontz (see portrait) was a son of John H. Koontz, who came from Lancaster County to Washington about 1792. He was born June 16, 1818, and after graduat- ing at Washington College in 1836, he studied the law with T. McK. T. & William McKennan, and was admitted as above. He never held any public office except that of deputy attorney- general for this county, the last by appointment under the old system, from February, 1848, to December, 1850. Mr. Koontz was a man of a very high degree of culture, literary and legal. Full of the finest quality of wit and humor, life to him was a bright spring morning, yet he was a laborious student and a successful lawyer. He was always the person called upon for an address on public occasions in his day, and his powers

of oratory in such efforts were not more effective than those he exhibited as an advocate at the bar. He died on June 30, 1863, leaving a widow, Mary A., daughter of William Hunter, and it is thought two children, a son and a daughter, the family occu- pying the residence now occupied by the family of Mr. John Aiken, deceased, on the right-hand side of South Main Street, below the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad station. Soon after his death his widow and children removed from Washington, and at her death, on No- vember 12, 1901, Mrs. Koontz resided in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The only child now living is the son, Robert H. Koontz, engaged in the cattle business, and residing'at Merriam, Nebraska.
4 Mr. Hazzard was born on October 25, 1814, at Oxford, Chemung County, New York. His father, whose name has not been ascertained, immigrated from the north of Ireland, and dying, the son when eleven years of age was removed to James- town, New York, where he entered the Jamestown Academy. In 1838 he was graduated from Allegheny College at Mead- ville; studied law with Judge Marvin; moved to Monongahela City; married Harriett, daughter of Joseph Hamilton, of Ginger Hill; and was admitted to the Washington Bar in 1840. He was a man of fine culture and character, and would undoubt- edly have ranked higher as a lawyer had he not all his life been much engaged in other pursuits. For some years he was the principal of an academy at Bellevernon, in Fayette County, closing in 1845; and for many years he was the editor and pro- prietor of the Monongahela Republican, and in connection there- with conducted a bookstore. In 1872-73 he was a member of the convention which formed the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1874. He died on September 3, 1877, leaving his widow (who died on March 10, 1887) and the following children, surviving others who died in their early years: (1) Chillion Washburne Hazzard, born May 5, 1849, married Mary B., daughter of Azro and Har- riett N. K. Goff, of Washington, District of Columbia, and died on April 15, 1901, leaving two children, Harriett H. and Vernon, the latter admitted to the Washington bar in November, 1901; (2) Joseph D. V. Hazzard, married Leona, daughter of a Mr. Lane of Michigan, and for a number of years has been engaged in orange-growing at Eustis, Lake County, Florida; and (3) Dr. Thomas Lyon Hazzard, married Anne, daughter of Hon.

On January 2, 1865, his remains having been brought home, they were buried in the cemetery at Monongahela City. William Cooper of Monongahela City, a son from whom we have the old-time ambrotype from which the portrait of Mr. Cooper was made, and another son, John Cooper of San Francisco, California, still survive him.
1 Hon. A. Murdoch is the grandson of John Murdoch, a native of Scotland, who removed from near Carlisle, Pennsyl- vania, to what is now North Strabane township, in 1778. The third son of John Murdoch was Alexander, horn in Carlisle in 1770; in 1803 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Matthew Henderson; was appointed prothonotary and clerk in 1809, and held those offices until 1819; built the brick house on the corner of Main Street and Pine Alley, lately occupied and owned by his eldest daughter, the widow of Hon. John L. Gow, deceased, now the site of the Hallam block; also what was the principal part of the Fulton House building, succeeded by the Washington Trust Com- pany building, opposite the court-house; in the mean time, having purchased the " Morganza " tract, he subsequently moved thither,

Pennsylvania, he was admitted to the Washington County bar, and formed a partnership in the practice with his preceptor, which continued until the election of the latter as president judge in 1866; he then associated with him in business Mr. H. M. Dougan, and continued in practice until he retired in 1876, removing then to Sewickley Bottoms, Allegheny County, where he has since resided, his address being Leetsdale, said county. In 1895 the degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by Washington and Jefferson College. His wife was Sarah (the daughter of George Baird, Esq., and granddaughter of Dr. Absalom Baird), who died without issue on August 27, 1862. See portrait of Mr. Wilson.
John K. Wilson, Esq. (the father), was born at Washington, Pennsylvania, of John and Catharine (Cunningham) Wilson, who were the parents also of Alexander Wilson, admitted to the bar in 1826, and of Marcus Wilson, of Wheeling, Virginia, who was the father of Alexander Wilson, admitted to the bar in 1853. The parents of John Wilson, Esq. (paternal grandfather of D. S. W.), were Marcus and Martha (Campbell) Wilson, also of Washington, Pennsylvania; and the parents of Catharine (Cunningham) Wilson (his paternal grandmother) were Nicholas and Mary (Henderson) Cunningham.

3 Mr. Gibson, familiarly known to all the older members of the present bar as "Bob Gibson," was born at Taylorstown, Washington County, on October 9, 1826, one of a family of four sons of Robert M. and Sarah (Wishart) Gibson, who came to this county, probably from Cumberland County, in 1818. The mother was a cousin of Dr. John Wishart of Washington, Penn- sylvania. The father was a carpenter and joiner by trade, and on his death left his widow and the four small children with only a house and lot in Taylorstown. Robert M., the son, attended the common schools, the academy at Buffalo village, and was a stu- dent at Washington College, but was not graduated. Without means, except what he could save by farm work and as a school- teacher, he nevertheless acquired a good education; and studying law with Hon. William Montgomery, was admitted to the bar and

was at once taken into partnership by his preceptor, with whom he continued in practice until he removed to Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1868, when he began and continued a practicing member of the Pittsburg bar until his death, on November 27, 1882, leaving a widow, Elizabeth (McCreary), to whom he was married in 1857, and six children, John Bannister, Robert Mc- Dowell, Richard Barnett, Sarah Wishart, Luna E., and Maud McDowell Gibson.
Mrs. Gibson resides at No. 897 North Forty-first Street, Philadelphia. Of the children, John B. married Lucy Kate Hall, daughter of Thomas M. Hall of Washington, Pennsylvania, and resides at St. Louis; Sarah W. married Cleophas Langlois, and resides at Washington, District of Columbia; Luna E. mar- ried Joseph P. Kelley, and resides at Sharpsburg, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; Maud McD. and Robert M., unmarried, reside with their mother; and Richard Barnett is now dead.
Mr. Gibson was truly a genius, in the common acceptation of the term. From his boyhood he lived near to nature and spoke her speech. Before entering upon the study of the law he was known the county over as a public speaker at school " exhibi- tions," debating societies, and patriotic anniversaries. After his admission to the bar he was chief among the platform speakers of the Democratic party, sought for far and wide. "That reminds me," he would say, " of Betty Higgins's mule. Did you know Betty Higgins? She lived over on the forks of Buffalo, where the waters kiss as they come together, and the hills are so high that the sun on the hottest day of summer does not drive the frost out of the valleys, but the moon, sailing nearer the earth, gets caught on the treetops on the backs of the hills, and the boys have to stay up o'nights to push it off with rails." This suited the unterrified, old as well as young, when accompanied with his inimitable manner of saying it; and his drollery, after the style of Frank R. Stockton, held the crowd until election day. In a case before a jury in court, when it was possible to win by ridi-

cule and laughter he won; while if sentiment and pathos were needed, the tones of his voice, if not the weight of his argument, carried his wonderfully clear words and sentences to the very bones of his hearers, and the verdict again was his. The minute of the meeting of the Allegheny County bar, held on the occasion of his death, found in 30 P. L. J. (O. S.) 135, thus describes his forensic addresses : "Passages of such exquisite beauty, of such incisive wit, of such overflowing humor, of such moving pathos, and of such true grandeur and sublimity, rendered with such originality of manner, with such simplicity and apparent uncou- sciousness of their magnificence, it has rarely been given to man to utter. Before the court and jury alike he was for the time resistless, and swept away all obstruction, as the mountain torrent in its rush to the meadow and the sea."
The portrait of Mr. Gibson, in this volume, is from the only existing photograph of him, and that was taken before he went to the Democratic Convention at Charleston, South Carolina, in 1860, seeking the nomination of Stephen A. Douglas for the presi- dency.
