BAGLEY BERNARD K 10-11 10R 1791 1877
******
Bernard Bagley was born in Durham, Greene county, N.Y., November 5, 1791. He came to Jefferson county in 1813, first settling in the town of Antwerp, teaching schools and taking contracts for building roads. He is reputed to have held the office of constable in that town, in which his inclination to the legal profession was first developed.
He came to Watertown in 1815 or 1816, and entered the law office of Charles B. Clarke as a law student. It is said that for years he was constantly engaged in the trial of cases in justice's court, where his instinctive knowledge of human nature and shrewd management gained him a great reputation throughout the county.
In 1833 or 1834 he married a Mrs. Wright, a young widow, the mother of Charles D. Wright, late judge, and now living in Watertown. He was admitted in 1826, and the records of the next term of the court show that he entered at once into an extensive practice, having sometimes as many as sixty cases on the calendar.
Mr. Bagley continued to practice as long as his health permitted. He died June 26, 1877.
