Distinguished for a wonderfully retentive memory, which enabled him to store and have at command the treasures of the great masters of prose and poetry in our lan -. guage and the classies, in his social relations he was always ready to entertain and in- struet and his rare conversational powers enlivened by apt anecdote and genial hu- mor rendered him most attractive and en- tertaining in the environment of congenial companionship. Possessing deep religious feeling and well versed in theology, the study of the Bible and the works of sacred writers were exceedingly attraetive to him and emphasized the convietions of a pure life by strict integrity and a eonseientious performance of every duty. By his earnest. manly character, his unostentatious chari- ties and his interest in the advancement of the people among whom he lived, he com- manded universal respeet and confidence. His

was a well ordered life, and in him we may behold a fine type of the high-minded, cul- tured lawyer and public-spirited citizen.


Abram S. Knecht, son of Jacob and Mary Knecht, was born in Northampton county. August 12, 1828. He attended the country schools until he was seventeen years of age. when he entered the academy at Easton, where he later became assistant teacher. He afterwards took a course at Franklin and Marshall college, studied law in the office of Judge McCantney, and was admitted to the bar in January, 1855.


Henry D. Maxwell was born at Easton. Pa., August 3, 1862, educated in the Easton public schools and at La Fayette college, graduating therefrom in 1882, with the de- grees of A. B. and A. M. He then attended the Columbia College of Law, after which he studied law in the office of W. S. Kirk- patrick, at Easton, and was admitted to the bar in 1885. Since 1887 Mr. Maxwell has been the editor of the Northampton Legal Reporter.


Hon. William W. Schuyler is a descendant from the Schuylers of Revolutionary fame. His father was Simon Schuyler, a native of New York state, as was also his mother, Sarah (Morris), and both were of English descent, having always lived in New York. Father served for many years as justice of/ the peace, and at the time of his death, March 26, 1883, was retired from active life.


William was born in Muncie, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1829. After leaving the public schools he spent three years at school in Columbus, Ohio, and four years at the La Fayette college at Easton. Later he attended the Williams college, graduating from there in 1845 with the de- gree of A. B. He then went to South Caro- lina, where he taught school for about three years, during which time he read law in the office of Major A. C. Spain, devoting what time he could spare to that study, then came


to Williamsport, Pa., and studied law with Judge Maynard for a time, thence to Easton, where he completed his law course under the direction of Judge MeCortneys, and was admitted to the bar of Northampton county in 1864. Commenced practice immediately with John H. Vincent as his partner, and their firm, Schuyler & Vincent, remained in general practice for two years. When Mr. Vincent left Easton, after which time Mr. Schuyler conducted the business alone with its rapid increase, readily grasping the confi- dence of the people until he was elected as- sociate law judge with O. H. Meyers as presi- dent.


In 1859 he received the highest majority of any candidate on the ticket for district attor- ney, being a Democrat in his politics. Was re-elected in 1862 without opposition, and in 1881 was elected judge of the Common Pleas Court, re-elected in 1891 again without op- position, and in 1901 became president judge at the expiration of Judge Meyers' term.


At the last election his name appeared on both tickets, term expiring in 1911.


On June 19, 1901, the La Fayette college conferred upon him the degree of LL. D.


The rapid progress of Mr. Schuyler from early manhood bespeaks the confidence of the people in his ability to serve the numer- ous responsibilities entrusted to him, which he did to the general satisfaction of the pub- lic.


Judge Schuyler was married February 15, 1859, at Easton, to Miss Alice Bender, daugh- ter of Henry Bender. a prominent business man of Easton. They have two children.


Hon. Henry W. Scott, son of Lewis B. and Sarah (Erwin) Scott, was born in Bucks county, Pa., March 18, 1846. He was edu- cated at La Fayette college and studied law in the office of E. M. Lloyd, Esq., at Doyles- town, and was admitted to the bar of Bucks county in May, 1868. The following day he went to Northampton county and was admit- ted to the bar at Easton, where he at once

engaged in a general practice of his profes- sion.


In -1894 he was elected on the Democratic ticket judge of the Common Pleas Court for a term of ten years.


Edward J. Fox was born at Doylestown September 15, 1824. His ancestry was of the best from colonial days, and the names of those from whom he descended will live. His grandfather, Edward Fox, studied law in the office of Samuel Chase, of Maryland, who was afterwards appointed by President Wash- ington one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, and in 1783 he was auditor general of Pennsylvania. John Fox, a son of Edward Fox, was born in Philadelphia April 26, 1787; graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, pursued the study of law with Alexander J. Dallas, whose son, George Mifflin Dallas, was elected Vice-President in 1844, upon the ticket with James K. Polk, as President. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1807, and went to New- town, then the county seat of Bucks, and re- mained there until its removal to Doyles- town, in 1813.


John Fox was the father of Edward J. Fox. Practiced law at Doylestown from 1813 until he was appointed president judge of the Bucks and Montgomery district, in 1830. In 1814 he was made deputy attorney general for the county by Simon Snyder, then governor. Judge Fox had a strong and controversial nature, was deeply imbued with all the political animosities of the day, and, although upon the bench, frequently en- gaged in the conflicts for supremacy. He re- tired from the bench in 1841 and resumed the practice of law. Died at Doylestown April 15, 1849, at the age of sixty-two.


Thus, Edward J. Fox was of good lineage and of loyal blood. His life was not passed in conspicuous positions that bring applause or censure of tumultuous assemblies, nor was his professional career spent amid scenes with opportunities to invite metropolitan


fame. After leaving Princeton college, which he entered at an early age, he began the study of law with his father in July, 1841, just after the latter had left the bench, and the day after he was of legal age was ad- mitted to the bar. Soon after his admission he entered into partnership with an older brother at Norristown, but soon afterwards went to Philadelphia; then returned to Doylestown as a partner with his father and remained until the death of the latter. He was early admitted to all the courts and practiced extensively in them from the time of his admission to the Supreme Court, in 1846, the United States District and Circuit Courts, in 1847, to the time he first presented himself to the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, in October, 1875. He moved to Easton in October, 1853, and re- mained in active and pressing practice for a period of thirty-six years. He formed a partnership in January, 1882, with his son, Edward J. Fox, Jr., which continued until his death. His name appears as counsel in the state reports from 1846 to 1889. He was frequently in the District and Circuit Courts of the United States and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and his argu- ments are reported in "Mutual Life Insur- ance company vs. Snyder, 3 Otto, 393," and the "Lehigh Water company vs. Easton, 121 United States, 388." For twenty-five years he was largely concerned in important liti- gation through the eastern portion of the state and in the courts of Philadelphia. He was widely known, and in all the counties adjoining his own his recognized ability was called for in those desperately contested trials which demanded the highest measure of skill and the strongest advocacy. He was retained in many murder trials, and took part for three of the Molly Maguires- Campbell, Fisher and Kenna-the latter of whom was convicted of a lesser grade than the highest. The case of Alexander Camp- bell was carried by him through the Supreme

Court, where the judgment was affirmed. (Campbell vs. Com., 3 Norris, 187.)


Mr. Fox had a large practice in all the civil courts, and his serviees were especially demanded in his own and adjoining districts in the trial of issues involving large sums of money. He lived a busy professional life and had no ambition for official or public position. His friends pressed his name for nomination to the Supreme beneh in 1880, and he was strongly supported in the Demo- cratie state convention, but the movement re- ceived no assistance from him; they failed by a few votes to attain their purpose. Ag- gressive in support of his party as in every- thing else, he deelined all offiee; but con- tinually in every campaign there was a popu- lar demand for his serviee. He surrendered time which he could not well afford to the political platform, where his eaptivating manner and forcible speech assured erowded audienees and enthusiastie applause. He kept pace with the eurrent history of the world and had strong feeling upon many publie questions. But, in his latter years, at least, he was no student of books, either of literature or law. His legal library was not replenished with many modern text-books; he kept to the old editions, which were not disfigured by copious and contradietory an- notations. He preferred to drink from the fountains, rather than from the polluted currents. He did not read the decisions of the courts systematically, as they were pub- lished in the reports; he believed he knew what the law was and did not expect to find the decisions otherwise. He stopped brief- making many years before his death; but sometimes, for easy referenee, made note of a case on the baek of an envelope, or upon the face of the pleadings. These would be fatal courses for a new generation, but he had a steady faith in the aequisitions of his earlier years, and the measure of sueeess he had justified his wisdom.


In the management of a eause, his taet was


a matter for admiration; from the moment a jury was empaneled his thoughit was upon the verdiet; he yielded to every persuasive suggestion of the court; he made the jury- men his friends by watching their comfort ; if a draught of air came from the window it was closed; his cheerful "Good morning!" as they passed into their seats made each one feel it was of some eonsequenee to meet him with familiar recognition, yet there was no unworthy artifiee. He did not often make objeetions unless the matter was vital; his records on writs of error contained but few exceptions, and he rarely supported hris eause by more than one or two leading prop- ositions.


His arguments were in strong, direet, vig- orous Anglo-Saxon, often powerful, always impressive. His fine voice was under eon- plete control, and his speech sometimes, upon great occasions, reached the very highest points of spoken eloquenee. His mind had the enlarged eultivation which comes front much travel at home and abroad and his manners were those of stately courtesy. "Thus he bore, without abuse. the grand old name of 'Gentleman.' "


There was no impairment of mental or physical vigor to the end. He died Novem- ber 22, 1889. On the day of his death he finished the trial of an important case which had consumed much time. The judgment he secured was sustained by the Supreme Court many months after he was gone (Riekert vs. Stephens et al., 133 Pa. St., 538). At the ad- journment he was still engaged in another cause. In three hours he was dead.


He was from earliest youth sincerely at- tached to his religious faith, and in the evening he had gone to the Brainerd Presby- terian church, of which, for more than thirty years he had been an elder and a principal support, and while enjoying the festivities of the evening died suddenly of apoplexy. His funeral was attended by members of the bar from various parts of


732


THE BENCH AND BAR OF PENNSYLVANIA


the state and his death was mourned as a public loss.


Francis H. Lehr was born in Northampton county, Pennsylvania, January 4, 1842. Hc attended the common schools and academy at Easton until sixteen years of age, after which he taught school for twelve years, and during the last two years he studied law in the office of Hon. H. D. Maxwell, and was admitted to the bar at Easton in 1871.


His practice has been largely in the Or- phans' Court.


Edward J. Fox of Easton comes naturally to that leadership of the bar of Northampton county, which he shares with so few that it is perhaps wiser not to affix the precise num- ber. His grandfather, John Fox, of Doyles- town, in Bucks county, stood with the law- yers in the front of that bar, and was president judge of that judicial district from 1830 to 1840; while his father, Edward J. Fox, the elder, leaving Doylestown and set- tling in Easton in 1853, came at once into a profitable practice and for the ten years preceding his death, in 1889, stood at the head of the Northampton bar, no one even caring to question his leadership.


About a year after the admission to the bar of the subject of this sketch, the father and son formed a partnership, Edward J. Fox & Son, the junior then not quite twenty- four (he was born April 3, 1858), seems to have perceived with wonderful clearness the transition in the practice of the law, then just beginning, which has evolved the mod- ern lawyer as contrasted with the old school advocate.


The son gave the help to the father which saved him the bewilderment of myriads of cases culled from hundreds of reports while the old school theory of the father that a lawyer must be thorough saved the son from the possibility of becoming a mere case law- ver.


In 1889 the senior member of the firm died very suddenly. They had represented many


clients, including a large number of corpora- tions, most of the railroad companies in that locality and interest of various kinds. Out of all their clients not one sought other coun- sel, so great was the confidence which the younger man had quietly inspired, so that at the age of thirty-one he succeeded to the practice of a really great lawyer. He was handicapped to a certain extent by the prom- inence of his father, which naturally resulted in some speculation by the community as to the ability of the son to successfully carry on such a practice. This trying period of probation was short, and public confidence in the value of his services was soon and se- curely established. In 1890 upon the organ- ization of the Easton Trust Company he be- came one of its directors and two years later its counsel, as lie now is. From this time until the present, his practice has grown in volume and importance as counsel, regularly, for the New Jersey Central, the Philadel- phia & Reading and the Lehigh & New Eng- land Railroad Companies, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, and special coun- sel at times for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. He has not only tried many cases, but his judgment has been desired in many of the railroad legal problems of the day. While representing many large corporations, both transportation and industrial, his prac- tice is not confined to such by any means. His personal integrity and his genuine Christian character with his legal ability have compelled a feeling of trustfulness that have created fiduciary relations in various directions-executor, trustee and the like, all of which suggests not only his reputation, but his real worth. He is one of the trustees of Lafayette college, an elder of the Brain- erd-Union Presbyterian church, as well as the superintendent of its Sunday school, and has as president of the Y. M. C. A., since its organization in Easton in 1898, successfully established that institution.


His name appears as director of the War-


733

ren Foundry and Machine Company, the East Bangor Consolidated Slate Company, the Easton Gas Company, the Easton Fuel Gas Company and the Easton Power Company.


In the trial of the cases of greatest im- portance and difficulty, it is the rare excep- tion when he is not engaged upon one side or the other, and in important financial matters where counsel is required, his services are secured with equal frequency.


Mr. Fox was married at Schooleys Moun- tain, N. J., to Miss Cora L. Marsh, daughter of W. W. Marsh, a prominent business man, and a granddaughter of ex-Governor Andrew H. Reeder, who served in Kansas during the anti-slavery agitation in 1854-56. They have two sons, Louis R. and Edward J. Fox, Jr.
