SYRACUSE AND ONONDAGA COUNTY NEW YORK PICTORIAL and BIOGRAPHICAL NEW YORK AND CHICAGO THE S. J. CLARKE PUBLISHING CO. A Very Rare Leather bound volume featuring protraits of leading figures of turn of the century Syracuse NY. CHARLES ANDREWS, former chief judge of the court of appeals, and for twenty-seven years a mem- ber of that court, was born at Whitestown, New- York, May 27, 1827. He was educated at Cazenovia Seminary; studied law in the otfice of Sedgwick & Outwater, of Syracuse; was admitted to the bar in January, 1849; and a year I’l’^er began practice by himself at Syracuse. In 1851 he entered into part- nership with Charles B. Sedgwick under the firm name of Sedgwick «& Andrews. In 1853 he was elected district attorney of the county for a term of three years. In 1855 George N. Kennedy was admit- ted to partnership with the firm of Sedgwick & Andrews, and the famous law firm of Sedgwick, Andrews & Kennedy was thus completed. No law firm of the county has ever had more ability and prominence nor have more distinguished honors been won by the individuals composing it. This partner- ship continued until Mr. Andrews’ election to the court of appeals in 1870. jMr. Andrews was mayor of the city of Syracuse in 1861 and in 1862, these two terms covering the stirring events of the early days of the Civil war, dur- ing which iMayor Andrews by his patriotic efiforts, his wisdom, energy and firmness, suppressed some dangerous tendencies of the local “Copperheads” and the mob spirit rampant at that time. He also by his efiforts aided mate- rially in the raising of recruits for the army. He was again mayor in 1868. With other prominent citizens he was influential in securing the location of Syracuse University in this city, and was made one of its trustees. In 1867 he was elected delegate at large to the constitutional convention of this state. Under the judicial article proposed by the convention and adopted by the people, the court of appeals was reconstructed. At the election held May 17, 1870, in pur- suance of that article, Mr. Andrews was elected associate judge of that court, for a term of fourteen years, from January i, 1871, but beginning his serv- ice on July I, 1870. In 1881 Judge Andrews was appointed by Governor Cor- nell chief judge in place of Chief Judge Folger, who retired to accept the office of secretary of the United States treasury. In the next year he was nomi- nated by the republican party to the ofiice of chief judge, but was defeated by his next door neighbor, William C. Roger, democrat. This was the year when Folger, nominated for governor, and the entire republican ticket were overwhelmingly defeated and Grover Cleveland was elected governor. Judge S Cfjarlcs anbrrtos Andrews resumed his position as associate judge, and at the end of his first term, in 1SS4, was re-elected associate judge of the court for a second term of fourteen years. He and Judge Rapallo were renominated by both poHtical parties — a precedent which has several times since been followed in respect to judges of that court. Judge Andrews was elected chief judge of the court in 1892, to succeed Chief Judge Ruger, who died in January of that year. He retired from the bench December 31, 1897, under the constitutional age limit of service, after twentv-seven vears of service upon the highest court of the state, still as vig- orous and useful as in middle life. The application of the “age limit” provi- sion in his case was a serious loss to the public service. Since his retirement from the bench. Judge Andrews has not engaged in the active practice of his profession, but has done some work of a high order in cases of importance in \vhich his legal opinions were solicited. It has been generally hoped by the profession that he would write a treatise on Trusts, a subject upon which as a judge he has written opinions of great importance and value. He has received the degree of LL. D. from Hamilton, Columbia and Syracuse Universities. His interest in public afifairs has not diminished. His counsel and influ- ence in matters of the public welfare are eagerly sought by his fellow citizens and are freely given. On important occasions he has made masterly addresses which for breadth of scholarship, and the wisdom of a great and useful life, are seldom surpassed. But he has wisely chosen, with all his duties, the well deserved rest. Travel in foreign lands and in our own great land, books, social life, recreations befitting his tastes, friendships, a happy domestic life — these prolong the days and the usefulness and joy of a grandly lived life. Judge Andrews has long been prominent in the councils of the Episcopal church, of which he is a member. Like many of his judicial brethren, how- ever, he is a disciple of Izaak Walton. He is fond of the forests, lakes and streams where trout abound, and has won health and honors in his piscatory pursuits. Judge Andrews was a great judge — he is as great a citizen, a man com- plete in every respect. His judicial ability and temperament, clear, sound judgment, vast knowledge of the law and personal character and traits, made him the ideal head of the great court over which he presided. His associates on the bench honored and loved him. They felt that he was indeed their “Chief.” He has come home to his own people to receive and retain like honor and afifection. They heartily hail him “The First Citizen of Syracuse.” Judge Andrews was married May 17, 1855, to Miss Marcia A. Shankland, daughter of the late Hon. William H. Shankland, justice of the supreme court of another district. They have two sons, Hon. William Shankland Andrews, now justice of the supreme court; and Charles Walker Andrews, a member of the firm of Goodelle & Andrews, of Syracuse. IfP^VL^ ?|on. OTiUiam ^Ptebost #oobeUe ON. WILLIAM PREVOST GOODELLE, one of the most distinguished members of the New York bar, whose eloquence combined with his logic and his comprehensive knowledge of the principles of juris- prudence has gained him pre-eminence as a repre- sentative of the profession, was born in the town of Tully, Onondaga county. New York, May 25, 1838, a son of Aaron B. and Eleanor A. (Prevost) Good- elle. The father carried on general agricultural pur- suits and the boyhood and youth of his son William were passed on the old homestead, during which time he attended the district schools. He readily mastered the branches therein taught and for a year was a student in Homer Academy, while later he entered Cazenovia Seminary, being one of only two to take the five years’ course in that institution, where he remained from 1854 until 1S60. In the spring of 1S61 he matriculated as a sophomore of Dart- mouth College and was graduated with the highest honors in the class of 1863. He then accepted the proffered position of principal of an academy at Mora- via, New York, but at the close of the school year, desiring to retire from the field of education and prepare for the bar, he took up the study of law in the office and under the direction of H. L. & F. Hiscock, of Syracuse. How- ever, the reputation which he had gained as an educator led to his selection for the principalship of the Onondaga Valley Academy and after urgent solicitation he accepted the position, remaining there for two years, the academy largely profiting by his labors for reorganization and improvement. In the meantime whatever leisure he could secure from his duties as teacher was devoted to the study of law. He again began reading in the office of H. L. & F. Hiscock, and after his admission to the bar in October, 1868, he continued with them for a year to add to his theoretical knowledge the prac- tical experience of the courts and the law office. For three years thereafter he engaged in practice alone and on the expiration of that period was chosen district attorney of Onondaga county, having gained a reputation as a lawyer which led to positions of honor at the hands of his fellow citizens. For three years he filled the position and then again took up the practice of law, in which he made continuous advancement until he had attained a position equaled by few and surpassed by none of the leading members of the bar of New York. After his retirement from the office of district attorney, the New York Central Rail- 9 10 i^on. l©iUjam Prebost OJoolJeae road Company, attracted by liis illustrious record made in that office, retained him as g^eneral criminal counsel and attorney, his field of labor extending from ButTalo to Albany. In that capacity he served until appointed a member of the state board of law examiners in 1894. While well versed in every department of the law and while in civil proceedings he has gained an enviable record, he has become especially well known in the practice of criminal law. Hundreds of law breakers have been brought to punishment through his efforts. There is scarcely a county in the state and certainly none along the line of the Central Railroad where he is not well known as a lawyer and where his eloquent voice has not been heard in behalf of peace and safety from crime. So efTective were his efforts in this direction that it is a well known and acknowledged fact that crimes against the railroad company within Mr. Goodelle’s jurisdiction had almost completely disappeared when he severed his relations with the company. He has won notable forensic successes when opposed to some of the strongest counsel of the state and his name figures prominently on the pages of judicial history of New York. Among the earlier important criminal cases with which he was connected was the prosecution of Owen Lindsay, charged with the mur- der of Francis Colvin in 1874. For the first time in the history of jurisprudence he brought into the case the point of determining the difference between the blood stains of the human and of the animal. Flis conduct of the case showed untiring research, patient investigation and general legal ability and awakened the highest commendation of the bench and bar throughout New York as well as of the lait}-. There was much favorable comment in the press, one of the local papers saying “Mr. Goodelle’s address to the jury was a most fitting close to his untiring labors as a public officer of Onondaga county. During the delivery not only the jury but the entire audience gave that attention which demonstrated the power of the learned counsel’s eloquence and the strength of his argu- ment. Mr. Goodelle often rose to the height of impassioned eloquence. He for- got his associates; he forgot the audience hanging upon his words; he forgot all but his case and the jury. His presentation of the people’s evidence was perfect. Taken altogether the effort of Mr. Goodelle in its plain statement of the work the people had to perform, in its minute tracing of the testimony, in its final welding of the circumstantial and direct evidence into an unbroken chain and fastening the same about the prisoner, formed one of die most masterly forensic efforts ever made at the bar of this county.” Perhaps no better indication of Mr. Goodelle’s ability can be given than by quoting from the press, which is the mirror of public opinion. In defense of Mary J. Holmes, charged with poi- soning her husband, the trial lasting six weeks and resulting in an acquittal, another paper said, “The last tick of the parting day was almost simultaneous with the final words of an argument for the prisoner which had consumed seven hours. The counselor’s face bore the plain evidence of the mental and physical strain to which he had put himself. … A masterly effort had been expected from ^Ir. Goodelle, whose acumen and learning are a source of pride ^^on. 1©iatam Prtbofit a5ooi>ellt ii to the bar of this county. Never in the criminal history of Onondaga county was a more comprehensive defense made of a human Hfe. Mr. Goodelle’s impassioned style of oratory put into graceful language his logical deductions from an investigation of the case as viewed from the side of the defense. Every point was covered one by one but at no time was there a break in the conti- nuity of the argument. It was probably the longest argument ever offered in the court of justice in Syracuse.” That Mr. Goodelle has become known as one of the ablest lawyers of the state is indicated by the fact that he has been frequently called to conduct both civil and criminal cases in various counties of New York. Few lawyers have made a more lasting impression upon the bar of the state, both for legal ability of a high order and for the individuality of the personal character which impresses itself upon a community. Of a family conspicuous for strong intel- lects, indomitable courage and energy, he entered upon his career as a lawyer and such is his force of character and natural qualifications that he has over- come all obstacles and written his name upon the keystone of the legal arch. In fact he has been one of the most conspicuous figures in the history of juris- prudence of New York during the past iour decades. He has argued many cases and lost but few. No one better knows the necessity for thorough preparation and no one more industriously prepares his cases than he. His handling of his case is always full, comprehensive and accurate; his analysis of the facts is clear and exhaustive; he sees without effort the relation and dependence of the facts and so groups them as to enable him to throw their combined force upon the point they tend to prove. Goodelle is a stalwart republican but not a politician. While he is per- haps not without that personal ambition which is an important element in the capable conduct of official duties, he yet regards the pursuits of private life as abundantly worthy of his best eft’orts and has concentrated his time, energy and talents upon his profession. He has, however, addressed the public on many occasions in discussion of the issues and questions before the people and never fails to impress his auditors by the strength, truth and force of his argument. His public addresses, however, have not been confined to political questions alone. In fact it is a matter of surprise that one of his ability as a lawyer has had time to so thoroughly familiarize himself with the great variety of questions that he has discussed from the public platform. He has been an omnivorous reader, has the ability to co-ordinate the the knowledge gained from various sources, drawing his deductions and forming his conclusions in the same log- ical and discriminating manner that characterizes his professional work. As stated, he has had no desire to divide his time between political office and his practice, and almost the only position that he has filled aside from the one already mentioned was as a member of the constitutional convention — and that was in the direct path of his profession, in the framing of the organic laws of the state. All the foregoing has direct reference to the moral and ethical standard of the profession, over which the state board of law examiners have no power or control under the statutes. The labors and responsibilities of the state board of law examiners, of which Mr. Goodelle is president, and has been continuously for ten years past, have grown and increased from what they were in 1894, when the board was created, to such an extent that it seems a more extended mention might properly be made than appears earlier in this sketch. The work has grown to such an extent that while formerly there were about five hundred applicants for examinations yearly from the whole state, they now, in this present year, reach approximately sixteen hundred or seventeen hundred, including new applicants and re-ex- aminations of old ones, with proportionate increase of labors and responsi- bilities. The board has become, in fact, a vast bureau devoted to lifting the legal standard of the profession. Its work, and the results receive the uni- versal commendation of the bench and bar of the state. The importance attached to its work by the court of appeals is pretty strongly evidenced by the court’s appointment of one of its retired members. Judge Martin, who has been serving as a member of the board for three years past and is still serving. Such has been the work and such the aims of IMr. Goodelle in these later years of his professional career. He is trying to lift the standard of the profession, and at the same time to advance the moral and ethical with an equal pace. To these interests and purposes his present and very likely his future life seems to be devoted. Mr. Goodelle was married on the 8th of September, 1869, to H. Averhill, of Baldwinsville, New York, who died in April, 1901. Their daughter, Una Mae, was born October 28, 1877. The family is very promi- nent socially and Mr. Goodelle is well known in the Beaver River Club, of which he is and has been president since the first year CORNELIUS SMITH, prominently connected with the business life of Syracuse as a leading manufacturer, banker and capitalist, is pre-eminently a man of affairs and one who has wielded a wide influence. His business capacity has placed him in the foremost rank among the successful men of the day and he is, moreover, one of the world’s workers whose labors are attended with results, whether for individual prosperity or for public good. He is descended from English ancestry in the paternal line, although the family have been represented in America for several generations. His grandparents were William and Rebecca (Bissell) Smith, and his parents, Lewis Stevens and Eliza Ann (Hurlbut) Smith. In the maternal line he is descended from ancestors who served in behalf of the cause of independence in the Revolutionary war, both in the ranks and as officers. Lyman C. Smith was born in Torrington, Connecticut, March 31, 1850, and following the removal of his parents to the state of New York, the family home being established in Lisle, Broome county, where the father conducted a large business as a lumber manufacturer and tanner, he attended the common schools and also the State Normal School. Well qualified by liberal education for the practical and responsible duties of life he went to New York city at the age of twenty-two years and accepted the management of a live-stock commis- sion house, remaining in the metropolis until 1875, when he came to Syracuse to engage in the lumber business. In 1877 he began the manufacture of breech- loading firearms and continued the business with increasing success until 1890. In the meantime he had extended his efforts to other fields of industrial activity, beginning the manufacture of typewriters in 1886. Four years later he organ- ized the Smith Premier Typewriter Company, of which he became president, and in 1903 he was joined by his brothers in the organization of the L. C. Smith & Brothers Typewriter Company, of which he is the president. In this connec- tion he has become known as a manufacturer throughout the entire country and in all civilized lands, having given to the markets of the world a machine which is unsurpassed in qualities which go to make up the action. The conduct of this business requires a most extensive manufacturing plant, and a large office force make it one of the leading productive industries of the city. In recent years Mr. Smith has also become extensively interested in other large enterprises, where his business, keen foresight and sound judgment consti- tute important elements in successful management. He is president of the United States Transportation Company and of the L. C. Smith Transit Com- pany, which operate large fleets of modern steel freight steamers on the Great Lakes. He is likewise treasurer of the Toledo Shipbuilding Company and has contributed in substantial measure to the development of the rural trolley line systems of the state of New York. He has turned his attention also to the north- west, and with faith in its future he has made extensive investments in Seattle, Washington, which have become extremely valuable. He is president of the Hudson Portland Cement Company, of Hudson, New York, of the Rochester- Syracuse Eastern Railway Company, and chairman of the managing directors of the Halcomb Steel Company, of Syracuse, nor is he unknown in banking circles, being president of the National Bank of Syracuse. He is pre-eminently a man of aflfairs and one who has wielded a wide influence, and the soundness of his business judgment is such that his co-operation is continually sought in the con- trol and management of important commercial, industrial, manufacturing or financial concerns. ■ ZEKIEL WILSON MUNDY, librarian of the Syra- cuse Public Library, was born at Metuchen, New Jer- sey, June i6, 1833. His parents were Luther Bloom- field Mundy and Frances Ehza Martin. The Mundys are an old family in Metuchen, the original ancestor, Nicholas Mundy, a native of England, having come there before 1670. Like most of the early immigrants to this country they increased rapidly. His paternal grandfather was Ezekiel Mundy, whose farm lay near the village of Metuchen, and who married Lovicy Mundy, who was one of the nineteen children of Joshua Mundy. His maternal grandfather was Dr. Wil- liam Martin, the physician of the locality and a surgeon in the war of 1812 and the father of fifteen children. The early Mundys were farmers, with here and there a clergyman and a merchant. In religion almost all of them were Presbyterians. Ezekiel’s paternal grandfather was an Episcopalian and his maternal grandfather was a Quaker. The village church, however, was Presbyterian and the young people of the region were brought up in the Presbyterian worship. The children of this Mundy household are Ezekiel Wilson, of Syracuse; Edward Livingston, of Rahway, New Jersey; Louisa Matilda Andruss, of Florida, deceased; and Caroline Virginia Wendover, of Newark, New Jersey. The father died at the age of sixty-two years, the mother lived to the age of eighty-three. Ezekiel Wilson Mundy grew up on a farm near the village of Metuchen and received his education in the country school of the neighborhood. He had the advantage of a teacher, Bethune Dunkin, a Boston man, who was also the teacher of his father and his mother, and who taught for fifty years in the same country schoolhouse and who lived for many years in the home of Eze- kiel’s father. At the age of fourteen years the boy went as clerk in a store in the neigh- boring town of Rahway, where he served for two years. He went thence to Newark, New Jersey, where he learned the trade of a jeweler. But then came to him the desire to be a clergyman and at the urgent solicitation of a very warm friend, Harris M. Baldwin, of Newark, New Jersey, a member of the South Baptist church of that city, and with the earnest advice of others, he accepted the offer of Mr. Baldwin to send him to college. He was prepared for college at the seminary in Essex, Connecticut, and in 1856 was entered as a 22 Cteb. ^ fubge ^, fubb J^ortijrup UDGE A. JUDD NORTHRUP, whose natural talent and acquired ability have gained him distinction at bar, in authorship and as one who has molded public thought and opinion and has thus aided in shaping the history of the commonwealth, is one of the native sons of the Empire state. His birth occurred near Peterboro in Madison county, June 30, 1833, his parents being Rensselaer and Clarissa (Judd) North- rup. The father removed from Tyringham, Massa- chusetts, to Madison county, New York, in 1805. The mother was a daugh- ter of Ansel Judd, who settled at Watervale in the early part of the nineteenth century. In both the paternal and maternal lines Judge Northrup is of New England ancestry, represented in this country through six generations. His boyhood days were unmarked by events of special importance, nor did they foreshadow the prominence to which he was later to attain. When not occupied with the duties of the schoolroom he worked on his father’s farm and later engaged in teaching school through the winter months. Ambitious for further educational privileges, he continued his studies in Petersboro Acad- emy and also in Oberlin (Ohio) College, where he completed his preparatory course prior to entering Hamilton College, from which he was graduated in the class of 1858. Having thus laid an excellent foundation upon which to rear the superstructure of professional knowledge, he matriculated in Colum- bia Law School, wherein he completed a two years’ course in one year. Ham- ilton College had conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts and in 1895 the degree of LL. D. Following the completion of his college course in law Ansel Judd Northrup located for practice in Syracuse in 1859 and has since been a resident of this city with the exception of a few months spent in Chicago. At the time of his arrival he was a young man of twenty-six years, ambitious, enthusiastic and determined, and owing to the possession of these qualities, combined with a comprehensive knowledge of the law, no dreary novitiate awaited him. He yet remains an active practitioner and for years has been accorded a foremost position among the able lawyers who have graced the courts of this district and of western New York. He has never feared that laborious attention to the work of the office that results in a thorough mastery of the case, while in the courtroom he has presented his cause with clearness and force. It is the theory of the law that the counsel who practice are to aid the court in the administra- tion of justice. There has been perhaps no member of the profession in Syra- cuse more careful to conform his practice to a high standard of professional ethics than A. J. Northrup. He has never sought to lead the court astray in a matter of fact or law, nor would he endeavor to hold from it a knowledge of any fact appearing in the record. Calm, dignified, self-controlled, free from passion or prejudice and overflowing with kindness, he has given to his clients the service of great talent, unwearied industry and rare learning and yet has never forgotten that there are certain things due to the court, to his own self- respect and above all to justice and the righteous administration of the law, which neither the zeal of an advocate nor the pleasure of success has permitted him to disregard. In 1882 he was elected on the republican ticket judge of the county court and in the discharge of his duties was so fair and impartial that at the succeeding election he was re-elected without oppositon from the demo- cratic party, his judicial service closing December 31, 1894. Judge Northrup has always manifested a citizen’s deep interest in the great political problems and issues afifecting the weal or wOe of state and nation. He early became recognized as a force in republican politics in Syracuse, for the early years of his residence here covered that period when activity in politics became every man’s duty — the period preceding the outbreak of the Civil war. During both the Lincoln campaigns he made many speeches and became the first vice president and later the president of the Loyal League, a strong patri- otic organization. His ambition, however, has not been in the line of office holding, yet he has done capable service in the different positions to which he has been called by appointment of by popular suft’rage. In 1870 he was appointed United States circuit court commissioner for the northern district of New York, and United States commissioner when the former office was abol- ished in 1897. In 1870 he was also appointed United States examiner in equity, both of which offices he has continued to hold. In February, 1895, he was nom- inated by Governor Morton and confirmed by the state senate as one of the three commissioners to revise the statutes of the state, and soon after was appointed one of the commissioners to revise the code of civil procedure, both of which offices he held until January i, 1901. He had personal charge of many of the most important revision bills which became laws. Judge Northrup’s interest in municipal affairs has led to active co-operation in many movements having direct bearing upon the welfare and upbuilding of the city, which during the period of his residence here has developed from a small town to an important industrial and commercial center. Since 1877 he has been one of the trustees of the Syracuse Savings Bank. He is also a trustee of the Oakwood Cemetery Association; a director and the president of the Onondaga Historical Association; a director of the Genealogical Society of Central New York; vice president of the Society for the Federation of Churches in Syracuse and Onondaga county; an incorporator and for a long time direc- 31utige ia. 3ubb jj^rtftrup 25 tor of the University Club of Syracuse ; for some years president of the board of directors of the Syracuse Boys’ Club; a member of the Syracuse Citizens’ Club and of the Fortnightly Club and of other organizations. The foregoing list will serve to show the breadth of his interests for all those matters which pertain to civic life, to municipal honor, to intellectual advancement, to moral progress; and in fact all those subjects which touch the general interests of society and work for the good of mankind are of interest to him. He has long been an elder in the First Presbyterian church and was a lay commissioner from the Syracuse Presbytery to the general assembly held in Saratoga in 1890, celebrated for its great debate on ”revision.” In 1890 he read a paper before the Elders’ Association of the Syracuse Presbytery on “The Powers and Duties of Elders in the Presbyterian Church,” which was published in pamphlet form and had a wide circulation. Later it was read at a notable gathering of Presbyterians in the west, and is said to have had a strong influence on the denomination throughout the country. Judge Northrup was married in 1863 to Miss Eliza S. Fitch. Unto them were born three sons and two daughters: Edwin Fitch, a graduate of Am- herst College, a fellow of John Hopkins University for two years and a Ph. D. degree alumnus of that institution; Elliott Judd, a graduate of Amherst and of the law department of Cornell University, and for some years his father’s partner in practice, and now professor of law in the State University of Illinois ; Theodore Dwight, who died in 1885; Ursula, a graduate of Miss Wheelock’s Kindergarten Trainu’ig School of Boston, who married Dr. Louis Cleveland Jones, chemist at Solvay ; and Edith, a graduate of Syracuse University. While Judge Northrup has always regarded the practice of law as his real life work he has found time and opportunity for recreation, for broad study and for authorship in additon to his active participation in political questions and in the municipal life of Syracuse. He believes firmly in the principle that the workers of the world should have their play spells as well, and in his earlier years and yet to a large extent he has greatly enjoyed the sport with rod and gun. He first went to the Adirondacks in 1863, finding there a genuine wil- derness not yet converted into the resort of the summer tourist. For many years he has visited that locality. In 1880 he wrote and published a book entitled ”Camps and Tramps in the Adirondacks, and Grayling Fishing in Northern Michigan; a Record of Summer Vacations in the Wilderness.” This volume met with a ready sale because of its crisp style of narrative. It was followed the next year by “Sconset Cottage Life; a Summer on Nan- tucket Island.” This also met with much favor and a second edition was issued, illustrated by half-tones made from photographs taken by the author. While his trips to the woods were made with a view of indulging in sport with rod and gun, he has ever had that deep love for and appreciation of nature which is ever found in the true woodsman and he is never happier than when dwelling “near to nature’s heart.” His writings, however, have 26 3Iuiigc a. 31ubb ^rtljrup not been confined to descriptions of camp life and summer vacations but have touched many of the more serious subjects which have claimed the attention of the mature and cuUured mind. Perhaps the most important is his “Slav- ery in New York; a Historical Sketch,” which was published by the University of the state of New York as a state library bulletin in 1900. It is an exhaust- ive treatise on the subject, and its preparation required much careful research in a new field. He was the author of “The Class History of 1858 of Hamil- ton College,” and he prepared the “Genealogy of the Northrup Family in America.” Association and study making him thoroughly familiar with local history, he prepared and read before the Onondaga Historical Association a paper on “The Formative Period,” treating of the controlling influences in the early days of this county, and recognized as one of the strongest articles ever written along that line. His writings have covered indeed a wide range of subjects, to say nothing of the vast amount of work he did as a member of the statutory revision commission. The “religions corporation law” of this state is largely the result of his work while a member of that commission and during the same time he visited all the prisons and penitentiary of the state, and prepared and read a paper on “Our State Prison System,” which he was called upon to repeat several times. He also delivered many other addresses, literary and historical. A man of great versatility. Judge Northrup is entirely free from osten- tation or display and the humblest can approach him sure of his courteous attention. In manner he is always genial, oft times jovial and has that gen- erous spirit that is quick to recognize the good qualities in another. He has been an able, faithful and conscientious minister in the temple of justice and in his private life is endeared to all who know him by the simple nobility of his character. de4rciC ^’ u^/v/rr/^ JBn (ieorge Jf isik Comfort ^ 1) R. GEORGE FISK COMFORT was born in Berk- shire, Tioga county, New York, September 30, 1833. His paternal ancestors (Comfort, Gildersleeve) and also his maternal (Smith, Lane) were of English descent, their earliest generation in America com- ing to the colonies near the beginning of the eight- eenth century. His father. Rev. Silas Comfort, D. D., was born in Lanesboro, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, on May 5, 1803, and died in 1868; his mother, Electa (Smith) Comfort, was born in Windsor, Broome county, New- York, October 17, 1803, and died 1861. Rev. Dr. Silas Comfort was a prominent minister in the Methodist church. In 1835 ‘^^ was transferred by Bishop Morris from Potsdam, New York, to the First Methodist Episcopal church in St. Louis, Missouri. By his ruling in introducing the testimony of a negro (slave) church member in the trial (which resulted in the expulsion) of a white memiber, he originated the famous “Silas Comfort Negro Testi- mony Case,” which in the general conference at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1840, nearly disrupted that church on the subject of slavery and largely contributed to the tension which caused the secession of the southern Methodists in 1844. Owing to the violence of the agitation in Missouri caused by this “Negro Testi- mony Case,” he returned to New York state in 1842, taking the pastorate of the Methodist church in Cazenovia and afterward the presiding eldership of the Wyoming, Oneida and Cazenovia districts of the Oneida conference. He was a member of the general conference of 1848 and 1852. He was a great student in theology and history, contributed articles to the Methodist Quar- terly Review, and was the author of: The Exposition of the Articles of Faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the End of the Argument (on universal salvation) and Man’s Moral History. He always stood for reform and prog- ress and it is therefore fitting that the recent prohibition presidential candi- date, Silas Comfort Swallow, should have been named in his honor. The early education of his son. Dr. George F. Comfort, was commenced in a select school in St. Louis, Missouri, conducted by two highly accom- plished French Emigrees ladies and was continued in Cazenovia Seminary (1842-3) ; in the Wyoming Seminary at Kingston, Pennsylvania (1843-6), the first meeting for founding which school was held at the residence of Dr. Silas Comfort, he presiding; in Sauquoit Academy, New York (1846-9) ; and in the 28 0r. (JBeorgc iFifife Comfort Cazenovia Seminary (1849-53) at which he graduated in the three years’ course in 185 1 and in the five years’ course in 1853. Having a great love for drawing, in which he was started in the school taught by the French lad- ies in St. Louis, he availed himself eagerly of all the opportunities in that branch which were offered in the schools he subsequently attended. He remained in Cazenovia Seminary two years after he was prepared for enter- ing college, in order to take instruction in art under the accomplished Ger- man painter, F. C. Welch, who had established himself in Cazenovia and was at the head of the art department of the seminary. He was captivated by the works of Ruskin, then fresh from the English press, and was wavering between educating himself for the career of a practicing artist and entering a classical college. During this time he made for the seminary an herbarium of the flora of Madison county, from flowers appearing in the earliest spring to the latest fall. He also gave time to advanced study in the modern lan- guages, and to the works by Max Mueller on the science of language, then fresh from the English press, being the first presentation of this important branch in education to the Anglo-Saxon public. In all his after life he attrib- uted great importance to the broadening foundation he acquired by these two years of side study at the Cazenovia Seminary, after he had completed the regular preparatory studies for entering the classical college. As America was then destitute of good art schools, he decided to enter the Wesleyan Uni- versity, Middletown, Connecticut, graduating in 1857, receiving the degree of A. B. in 1857, and A. M. in i860. While in college he found considerable time to devote to painting, and visited freely the art exhibitions in New York and Boston, then yet rivaling New York as the center of art in America. After graduation Dr. Comfort for three years taught art and natural science in the Amenia and Fort Plain Seminaries and in the Van Norman Young Ladies School in New York, also giving a portion of his time to paint- ing and to perusing such books upon art and archeology as were then found in the Astor Library. Li i860 he entered upon his long-cherished plan of giving some years to travel and study in Europe and the Orient. He took passage, by the then entirely unfrequented route by American travelers, for the Mediterranean, on a large Italian packet and merchant ship, which, with its twenty-six Italian, Austrian and Hungarian passengers, touching at Gibral- tar and Messina, landed at Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, a most favor- able starting-point for a journey to the Orient. Dr. Comfort always speaks of his long ocean voyage on a first-class sailing vessel as beyond comparison more delightful than a trip on any ocean steamer can possibly be. From Trieste, beginning with the highly interesting, but rarely visited eastern litorale of the Adriatic, the border land betwen the Orient and the Occident, including Istria, Dalmatia, Montenegro and the Ionian islands, he devoted six months to this region, Greece and the Mediterranean Orient, stop- ping two months each in Athens and Constantinople, of which city he has 1^.
