In 1877 he graduated at the Columbia Law School with high honors, having attained the degree of L.L.B., and was to have been admitted to the bar on Wednesday, two days before his death.
The deceased was a young man of excellent character, reserved in his manners, and of profound ability for one of his age. Much older men than he considered his legal and other opinions with great respect and often expressed astonishment at the precision and wisdom of his remarks. He leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to lament their loss, and to regret that the young life that had just budded into a manhood so full of promise should be so suddenly cut off.
