Among the more successful and capable members of the bar of Green Bay is numbered Jerome R. North, practicing as a member of the firm of Greene, Fairchild, North, Parker & McGillan. He dates his residence in this city from 1871, having been brought hither by his parents, George L. and Helen R. North. His father has for many years been well and favorably known as a musical director of marked ability.
Jerome R. North was born in Oswego, New York, August 23, 1870, and was, therefore, only about a year old when brought to Wisconsin. Accordingly his education was pursued in the schools of Green Bay until he had graduated from the high school with the class of 1888. In preparation for the practice of law he studied in the office and under the direction of the firm of Ellis, Greene & Merrill and while he was still in the office the personnel of the firm changed, leading to the organization of the firm of Greene & Vroman. With the latter Mr. North remained until 1892, when in further preparation for a professional career he matriculated in the law school of Columbia University of New York city as a special student, continuing his studies there in 1892 and 1893. Upon his return to Green Bay he was admitted to the bar, in 1894, and reentered the office of Green & Vroman and still remained with them after the firm name of Greene, Vroman & Fairchild was adopted, in 1896, owing to the admission of Mr. Fairchild into the firm. At length he himself became a partner and his connection with the firm has been continuous as employee and partner since 1888. He has won for himself very favorable criticism for the careful and systematic methods which he has followed. He has remarkable powers of concentration and application and his retentive mind has often excited the surprise of his professional colleagues. He stands high in the discussion of legal matters before the court, where his comprehensive knowledge of the law is manifest and his application of legal principles demonstrates the wide range of his professional acquirements.
Mr. North is now serving as a member and is the president of the board of law examiners of Wisconsin. He was also until recently president of the Union Building Loan & Savings Association of Green Bay and De Pere and is a member of the Brown County, Wisconsin State and American Bar Association. He is likewise a director of the Oconto City Water Supply Company and in business affairs as well as in professional connections is demonstrating his ability to attain success.
In Green Bay, on the 4th of October, 1893, Mr. North was united in marriage to Helen Bacon, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin H. Bacon. Mrs. North's father died March 17, 1906, and was laid to rest in Woodlawn cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. North have three children : Reynolds Bacon, attending the University of Wisconsin and Ludlow Frey and Virginia, who are pupils in the public schools. The family reside at No. 832 South Monroe avenue in a pleasant home which was erected by Mr. North in 1903.
Fraternally Mr. North is an Elk, while politically he is a republican. He has served as a member of the board of health and he is chairman of the board of trustees of the Union Congregational church. All this indicates that his interests are wide and varied and he is an active and helpful member of the different organizations with which he has been and is connected. Indolence and idleness are utterly foreign to his nature and he is never content to sit down and let others do all the work. He recognizes the fact, too, that there is something more in life than the attainment of success in business and thus he gives his time and labor in cooperation with movements relative to the public welfare and to the moral progress of the community.
