H. Clifford Hemphill, the veteran Court Crier whose "oyes, oyes" was familiar to the people of Chester County during more than twenty years, died last night at his home on North Darlington street aged 66 years.
For a year or more he had been ailing, and during the past summer it was announced that gangerene (sic) had set in and he would probably never return to the court room.
Mr. Hemphill was born in what is now known as Strawberry Mansion, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, a son of the late R. Coleman Hemphill, but his youth was spent in West Chester. He married a daughter of the late Judge Bell, and she lived until a couple of years ago.
During the War of the Rebellion he served as Corporal in Captain Wayne MacVeagh's Militia Cavalry Company and was also Corporal in Co. E., Pa. Vol. Militia, under Col. W. W. Stott.
In his youth Mr. Hemphill was well known about town, as a leader in the sports and amusements of that day. He loved fine horses, and different times owned several unusually good ones. His stallion Garth was familiar on the track in recent years.
About twenty years ago, Mr. Hemphill succeeded the late James Sweeney as the Crier in the Court, and he occupied the high chair with becoming dignity from that time until his recent illness.
At first it was in the old court room, when the Judges faced East. When the annex was built,in 1892, Mr. Hemphill changed his location, occupying a place in No. 1 and No. 2 as the duties of the occasion might require. His command, "Silence" and "Step into the jury box" will long be remembered.
Mr. Hemphill leaves no full brother or sister. Robert C. Hemphill, West Union street, is a half brother. His surviving children are Mrs. William A. S. Ingram, Mrs. Harry Speakman (Wayne), Mrs. Clarence Cunningham, Cassie, Robert and Ross Hemphill of West Chester.
