LEWIS ELIOTT STANTON, one of the oldest members of the Hartford County bar, died August 28th, 1916. He was born at Clinton, in this State, July 19th, 1833, and on his father’s side was descended from Thomas Stanton, one of the founders of Hartford, and through his mother traced his ancestry to the Rev. John Eliott, well known for his missionary work among the Indians. He prepared for college at Bacon Academy, Colchester, and was graduated from Yale in 1855. After his graduation he taught school for a short time and then began the study of law at the Yale Law School, completing his studies, however, in the office of John S. Beach, Esq., in New Haven. He was admitted to the bar at New Haven in April, 1859.

The small county bar, such as Middlesex, tends to produce, from time to time, a lawyer who , without effort or design, makes corporeal again the traditional dignity and the comfortable aspect of that unhurried country practice which so few remember and many regard with a vague nostalgia.
William Keeler Seeley was born in the town of Easton, in this state, on the 17th day of September, 1828. He was brought up on a farm, and his early education was obtained in the district school and the Staples Academy of the town of Easton. After deciding to adopt the profession of the law, which he did upon the suggestion of the writer, who was his schoolmate and lifelong friend, he commenced his studies with Daniel Wakeman, an old lawyer then residing in the town of Easton, to whom he recited for several months. He then took a full course at the Yale Law School, and was admitted to the bar in March, 1852. He commenced practice in the town of Westport, but soon after came to Bridgeport, and entered into partnership with the late Judge S. B. Beardsley, for whom he always entertained the highest regard and admiration. During his career of nearly forty years at the bar he applied himself diligently to the practice of his profession, until the last few years of his life, when failing health caused him to relax his energies. He was a hard student during the first thirty years of his practice, and prepared his cases with great care and thoroughness, both on questions of law and of fact. He was not a brilliant advocate, but he addressed court and jury with sturdy common sense, not unfrequently enlivened by flashes of original wit. He was persistent to the last degree, and when convinced in his own mind that he was right he never abandoned a case until the court of last resort decided that he was in error. During his thirty years of active practice he was engaged in cases with Hawley and Belden, Ferris and Loomis, Ferry and Sturges, White and Taylor, Treat and Beardsley, and many others, and he always commanded the respect of his associates. No man at the bar had a more marked individuality than he. He seldom failed to attend a bar meeting and always took an active part in its discussions and deliberations. He was proud of his profession and jealous of its dignity. It was he who inaugurated the custom, which still obtains, for the members of the bar to rise upon the entrance of the judges of the Supreme Court of Errors. Not a few of the laws upon our statute book had their origin with him.

He soon enlisted in the navy, and on the Gettysburg saw service in the Gulf of Mexico and at the siege of Vicksburg. He was honorably discharged July 10th, 1864. Taking up at once the study of the law, as had long been his ambition, he was graduated from the Albany Law School in 1867. In January, 1868, before he was yet twenty-one years of age, he passed his examination for admission to the bar, and soon thereafter opened an office in the Franklin Building, Bridgeport, to which he returned some years before his death, having spent his entire professional life in that city. In 1873 he represented his town in the House of Representatives, - one of the youngest men who ever sat in that body - and while there was a member of the Judiciary Committee.
JULIUS LEVI STRONG passed from life on the morning of September 7th, 1872. So brief was his illness, that the announcement of his death came as a shock as well as a sorrow to nearly all of his friends and professional associates. But it needed not the almost tragic abruptness of his departure to create a deep and painful sensation in Hartford and through the State; for he was widely known, and greatly respected in all the relations of life, and at the time of his decease was the representative of the first Congressional district.
