Robert H. Williams was born at Canton, Pa., September 1st, 1864. He was educated at the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute at Towanda, Pa., studied law there under the direction of his father, H. N. Williams, and John G. Williams, and was admitted to the bar of Bradford county, May 5th, 1889. He was associated with the firms of Williams, Elsbree & Williams, and Elsbree & Williams, but since 1896 has conducted his general practice in his own name, and has taken part in the following well known cases: Haver- leys vs. S. L. and S. R. R., 135 Pa., 50; Insur- ance Co. vs. Gould, 134th Pa., 570; Gibbs estate, and Coons' appcal. He gives special attention to commercial law and collections.
In politics a Republican, Mr. Williams has taken an active part in the councils and in campaign work of his party.
He was married November 26th, 1891, to Miss Hila Nobles.
De Witt Clinton De Witt, Towanda, was born May 6th, 1842, in New Jersey, to John and Jemima (Westfall) De Witt. The father was a native of New Jersey, and his mother of what is now a part of Port Jarvis. They came to Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1844, and settled on a farm. The father was an old-fashioned Methodist,
and kept a sort of methodical hotel. He was a very successful man. After twelve years they moved to South Eaton, Wyoming county, where they resided until their de- ceasc. The grandfather, Moses De Witt, was a captain in the Revolutionary war, and won great glory and honor in that immortal struggle.
Young De Witt acquired his early educa- tion in the public schools of Towanda, and entered the Wyoming seminary at the age of seventeen, where he commenced the study of law, but before completing his course he was compelled to leave and go west where he taught school in Oregon. Returning later to Pennsylvania, he resumed his law studies in the office of Little & Littser, of Tunk- hannock, and was admitted to the bar of Wyoming county in 1870. Later he removed to Towanda and entered into law practice with his brother, Jacob De Witt, the style of the firm being J. & D. C. De Witt. His brother, Jacob, having died in 1872, H. T. Maynard entered the firm and it was changed to De Witt & Maynard, and for some years this firm was very successful in its practice. After some years Maynard retired and L. M. Hall was taken into partnership and the firm name again changed to De Witt & Hall. This partnership, after several years, was dis- solved and Mr. De Witt has since been alone in practice, and his career in all the courts has been both extensive and successful, in his own as well as in the adjoining coun- ties.
In early life Mr. De Witt took an active in- terest in the political party known as "Greenbackers," and in 1896 was chosen as their delegate-at-large for Congress. During this campaign he was very prominent, speak- ing in forty-six counties. He has also been delegated to several state conventions. In 1878 he was nominated for Congress by the Greenback party, defeating the Democratic candidate by 7,000 votes in his district. He was appointed in 1893 by Governor Pattison

POTTER COUNTY
BY W. I. LEWIS
The county was territorially formed by act of the Legislature in 1804, and was organized for judicial purposes in 1835. The courts were first held in conjunction with MeKean county. The records of the organization of the courts are somewhat incomplete. The first appearance docket begins with March term, 1833, and records the issue of summons dated December 31, 1832, to Sheriff James Taylor (who was sheriff of Mckean county) ; it was served and returned by John L. Cartee of Potter county, deputy sheriff. The record was made up by R. Chadwick, prothonotary of MeKean county. O. J. Hamlin, of MeKean county, was attorney for the plaintiff, and L. B. Cole, of Potter county, was attorney for the defendant. The writ was tested by IIon. Edward Herrick, president judge. The court minutes record the first court held in September, 1836, but do not show who pre- sided as judge. Among the jurors at that term were many men who are identified with the history of the county, the descendants of whom have become prominently known, namely, George W. Daniels served as a juror at that term and his grandson, George W. Daniels, is the present register and recorder of the county. Isaac Jones, grandfather of F. N. Newton, the present prothonotary, was foreman; Jesse Lewis, great-unele of W. I. Lewis; Lyman Nelson, father of H. T. Nel- son, the present court-crier; John Taggart, Noah Hallock, Nathaniel Mills, Orange A. Lewis, Thomas Crittenden, Erastus Mulkin, Chester L. Corsaw were also upon the jury.
Another session of the court was held in February, 1836, and in May, 1836, a further session was held, Timothy Ives and Seneca
Freeman, associate judges, presiding. At this session F. B. Hamlin and Joseph Wilson were admitted to practice as attorneys. The first license was granted at that term to Samuel B. Strait to keep a tavern in Cou- dersport.
The first jury case tried was September 29, 1836, John Earl, Jr., versus Versel Dickinson, trespass on the case. The minutes do not show what president judge presided.
On February 27, 1837, Hon. Nathaniel B. Eldred presided at a session of the courts: at that time the court held a circuit through the northern tier of the state and counties adjoining and the lawyers and court traveled from county to county on horseback.
L. F. Maynard was admitted in 1840.
John S. Mann was admitted in 1842, and, until the time of his death was prominently identified with the history of the county. Ile was a member of the Legislature in 1866 and a member of the Constitutional Conven- tion in 1872-3.
Wales C. Butterworth was admitted in 1842; Charles B. Curtis was also admitted in 1842.
Isaac Benson, Coudersport, was born in Waterford, Erie county, Pennsylvania, June 8, 1817. He became a student at the academy of his native town and completed his studies at Warren, Pa. Among the many classes of business which presented themselves for his consideration, none possessed the attractions of a profession, and being eminently qualified for the bar, both by literary acquirements and natural inclination, he entered, as a student, the office of Struthers, Johnson & Brown, prominent attorneys of Warren. He was admitted to the bar at that place in 1844,

and first began the practice of law in the office of the firm just mentioned, where he remained for about one year. But the am- bition of Mr. Benson was to find a wider field for his abilities, and June 11, 1845, he located at Coudersport, Potter county, Pennsylvania, which presented itself to him as more suited to his progressive ideas. The immediate future of the place verified the accuracy of his judgment, and he soon acquired a proud position in the borough and vicinity. J. S. Mann, C. W. Ellis, L. F. Maynard and Wales Butterworth, all now deceased, were the first practitioners of Potter county, and were honorable and worthy competitors. Gradu- ally, however, Mr. Benson found the nuli- ber of his clients growing larger, his practice more remunerative, his popularity increas- ing, until in 1856 he was elected and served as a member of the State Legislature, and as State Senator in 1859, both of which posi- tions he filled with honor, winning the ap- proval of his constituency. Early in the Civil war, his fidelity and ability being justly recognized, he received the appointment of paymaster, which he, however, declined, pre- ferring to continue the practice of his chosen profession, the enjoyment of home life and his largely increased holdings, which re- quired his constant care and supervision. Mr. Benson, in December, 1857, married Eugenie L., daughter of P. A. Stebbins, of Coudersport, and had one son, John B. Ben- son, who received a classical education, grad- uating from the University of Pennsylvania ; he studied law with Wayne McVeagh, of Philadelphia, and was admitted to the bar in June, 1884. Mr. Benson remained a mem- ber of the legal fraternity, enjoying the con- fidence and esteem of the citizens of Potter county, generally, and was, until the time of his death, identified with the history of the county, and was one of the leading and in- fluential lawyers of the Potter county bar.
.
Hon. John Ormerod, the president judge
of the Fifty-fifth district, comprising Potter
county, was born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, March 25, 1848. He never had the advantages of a college education, but has acquired a fine general education by diligent application and home study. He came to Potter county in 1869 as a miller. In 1874 he began the study of law while still engaged in his occupation. He registered in the office of John S. Mann & Son, and was admitted to the bar in December, 1878. Soon after his admission he opened an office at Knoxville, Tioga county, Pa., where he acquired a good practice. After the death of his preceptor, Hon. John S. Mann, Mr. Ormerod formed a partnership with Arthur B. Mann, which continued for a number of years, the firm being known as Mann & Ormerod. In 1883 he was elected district attorney, and in this capacity was a superior officer. Mr. Orme- rod's recent associations at the bar were with Hon. H. C. Dornan, now deceased. The firm of Dornan & Ormerod were the leading trial lawyers of the county, and the firm had a very extensive and lucrative business. Mr. Ormerod was the active trial lawyer of the firm, and was interested in every important law suit in the county for many years. He was a fluent speaker, and had great weight with the jury. He was elected to the present office in November, 1902, and assumed the duties January 6, 1903, and, although a short time upon the bench, he has not disappointed his friends in his ability as a judge.

THIE BENCH AND BAR OF PENNSYLVANIA
Don Carlos Larrabee .- On the brilliant roll of pre-eminently self-made men who achieved a large measure of success, stands the name of Don Carlos Larrabee. Ile was born March 5, 1830, at Ahond, New York. His father, Willett Larrabee, was a pioneer of that place and one of its prominent attorneys.
When Don Carlos was a young lad, the family moved to Whitesville, New York, where he was mainly reared and where he received the greater part of his school train- ing. At the age of fifteen he came to Ulysses, where he clerked for a few years, then went to Coudersport and engaged in the same occupation, but for a short time, when he took up a farm west of Lewisville (still known as the Larrabee farm). Soon after obtaining his majority, he obtained employ- ment as brakeman on the Erie railroad, and was quickly promoted to conductor, a posi- tion he so successfully filled until the fall of 1857, that he was then advanced to that of. train dispatcher at Dunkirk, New York. Leaving the railroad service, however, he re- turned to his old home at Ulysses, where, in 1859, he associated himself in the mercantile business with Mr. Burton Lewis under the firm name of Larrabee & Lewis. Soon after this he was elected justice of the peace, which office he held until October, 1862, when he was elected sheriff of Potter county. In 1858 his firm became Larrabee, Lewis & Co. by the addition of another partner, and the following season they built the Ulysses acad- emy, which has ever since remained a monu- ment to his interest in the cause of education. Upon the completion of his term of office as sheriff, Mr. Larrabee entered the office of Hon. A. G. Olmstead as a student at law, and in June, 1866, was admitted to the bar, be- coming a partner with Mr. Ohnstead, with whom he remained until January 1, 1883, at which the the latter was made judge. He then formed a co-partnership with his nephew, W. I. Lewis, an arrangement which the death of Mr. Larrabee terminated.
In 1876 he was elected a member of the Legislature, served one term and declined re-election. On returning from Harrisburg, whither he went on business March 12, 1889, he was stricken with apoplexy while on the train on Mareh 14, 1889, dying almost in- stantly. The funeral services were held in the court house at Coudersport.
The following remarks have been extracted from a memorial presented by the members of the bar:
"His professional character was above re- proach. Self-control was one of the marked characteristics of his professional life. He tried his causes upon their merits rather than on technicalities and legal quibbles. He sought only the just and legal rights of his clients and was never willing to be a partner in any way to unjust extortion or oppressive demands. His mind was clever, logical and vigorous; ingenious in cross-examination, he had an unusual faculty of impressing a jury with the justice of his case, and his confi- dence in the truth of his cause. His whole life, as a lawyer, was an undying example to the younger members of the bar, and to his courteous dignity and influence is due, per- haps, more than to any other one cause, the ahnost universal and kindly professional spirit and mutual confidence existing among the members of the bar of Potter county."
Mr. Larrabee was identified with the Republican party as one of its most active members, having been chairman of the coun- ty committee and delegate from time to time. On February 2, 1858, he was married to Miss Mary J. Gridley of Lewisville, Potter county. F. B. Hackett was admitted in 1860.
Frank D. Leet, now of Emporium, was admitted in 1866.
John C. Johnson, the leading lawyer of Cameron county, studied with F. W. Knox and was admitted in 1866.
Arthur B. Mann was admitted in 1867. Seth Lewis was also admitted in 1867.
