Notes:

Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar was born in 1816 in Concord, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College in 1835, received a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1939, and pursued politics, first as a Whig, then as a member of the abolitionist Free Soil Party, and finally as a Republican.

From 1849 to 1855, Hoar served as judge of common pleas in Massachusetts, and from 1859 to 1869, as associate justice on the Massachusetts Supreme Court. He then became the first of President Ulysses S. Grant's five attorney generals. During his time in office, Hoar witnessed the transition of the Office of Attorney General to the Department of Justice.

In 1869, President Grant nominated Hoar to a seat on the United States Supreme Court, but the Senate did not confirm him. As a result, Hoar resigned from Grant's cabinet in 1870, though he continued to serve the President as a member of a special commission. Hoar won election to the House of Representatives in 1872 but failed in a second bid in 1876. He then retired from politics and resumed his law practice. Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar died in 1895.

BAINBRIDGE WADLEIGH.
Son of Evans Wadleigh ; born, Bradford, January 4, 1831 ; admitted, 1850 ; practiced, Milford ; died, Boston, Massachusetts, January 24, 1891.
Mr. Wadleigh was prepared at the Kimball Union Academy in Plainfield to enter college, but his slender health interrupted further study, and for two years he led an outdoor life. Then he entered the office of Mason W. Tappan of Bradford, as a student, and completed his preparation for the bar. He was but little above nineteen years old, but he began at once to practice in Mil- ford. In no long time he made himself known as a lawyer, and as an aspirant of promise in the political field. He was an early and outspoken anti-slavery man, and naturally belonged to the Republican party on its formation.
He was elected a representative to the state legislature in 1855 and 1856, in 1859 and 1860, and from 1869 to 1872, inclusive, and became one of the most popular and influential members of that body. His personal appearance was attractive, his manners were cordial, and his gift of extemporaneous speech never failed to engage the attention. He treated his opponents with courtesy and fairness ; he was ready to do much more for his friends.
In June, 1872, his friends availed themselves of a peculiarly favorable opportunity to present his name to the legislature for election to the Senate of the United States. He was successful, and took his seat in the December following. His course in that body was such as to fully justify the anticipation of his supporters. His bonhommie and amiability of character brought him many friends, his service upon committees was assiduous and creditable, and his intellectual strength and ability in the discussion of public questions placed him among the strong men of his time.
Upon the close of his senatorial term, he returned with undiminished energy, his mental resources quickened and invigorated by his wider experience, to the legal arena. He established his office in Boston, Massachusetts, and during the residue of his life was employed in a large and important professional business in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. As a jurist he was much above mediocrity, but his forte was in the court-room, and especially in the laying of his cases before a panel of his countrymen. His hearty voice and candid address disposed his audience to .hear him without prejudice. His words were not wasted in trying to answer the unanswerable. He spent his force on the real gist of his case. As was said by a contemporary of his own profession, and well towards the head of it, he was " a fine, able, strong lawyer, and a forcible and attractive speaker."
He was married, January 6, 1853, to Ann Putnam of Milford. She died before him, leaving two daughters, one of whom is the wife of Samuel Hoar, a lawyer of Massachusetts.

Bainbridge married Ann M. Putnam on 6 Jan 1853. Ann was born in in Milford, , New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet]

Samuel Hoar
January 6, 2008 by Stefanie
Emerson's essay on Samuel Hoar (1778 - 1856) is actually an obituary. It first appeared in Putnam Magazine in December 1856 and again in a revised and extended version in the Monthly Religious Magazine in January, 1857. Emerson does not go into the details of Hoar's career, a distinguished lawyer and politician, (Wikipedia has a decent article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_hoar about him), but sticks more to his personal knowledge of the man in the everyday.
Emerson describes him as humane, noble, honorable, and "full of mansuetude " (is not that a great word?). Hoar was a man who enjoyed long, solitary walks, trees, and birds. He was a wealthy man but lived a plain life, preferring instead to give his wealth to those in need? young men starting out in life on new ventures and to charitable organizations. A man of "natural goodness and justice," he was humble and modest with a "childlike innocence" and he never held a grudge.
He "was not adorned with any graces of rhetoric," and
So cautious was he, and tender of the truth, that he sometimes wearied his audience with the pains he took to qualify and verify his statements, adding clause on clause to do justice to all his conviction. He had little or no power of generalization.
Nonetheless, he never undertook to defend criminals and had such a reputation that juries were often swayed in his favor simply by him declaring "on his conscience" that his client was entitled to a good verdict.
Hoar had no love of poetry, yet Emerson says he "had a resemblance to the bust of Dante." I wouldn't exactly call Dante an attractive man, but I guess it's better than saying someone looked like Socrates who was supposed to be a rather ugly man.
Hoar was a gentleman in every finest sense of the word. And while he may not have been elegant or particularly spiritual or a man of genius, he focused the "vigor of his understanding?on the ordinary domestic and municipal well-being," which, if you are a public servant, seems to me what one should do but yet, is so often only given lip service.
There is a lot that Emerson doesn't say about Hoar. Like that Hoar's wife, Sarah Sherman, was the youngest child of Roger Sherman, a signer of the US Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Nor does Emerson mention that Hoar's daughter, Elizabeth, was engaged to Emerson's youngest brother Charles. But Charles died of tuberculosis before they could marry. Elizabeth chose never to marry. She did, however, become an intimate friend of the Emerson, Hawthorne and Thoreau families. And she helped Emerson to produce The Dial.
One of Samuel Hoar's sons, Edward, was and intimate friend of Henry David Thoreau. Edward and his wife lived across the street from Thoreau's family for years. And it was Edward and Thoreau who accidentally set fire to three hundred acres of forest along the Sudbury River in 1844 when they let a cooking fire get out of hand. Edward also went with Thoreau on some of Thoreau's hiking and canoeing trips.
So interesting the things that don't get mentioned, eh? But I suppose in an obituary one would not mention some of these things and Emerson is such a formal person, I doubt that he would mention them in a eulogy-type piece either. It's a pity because I bet there are lots of good stories to tell.
