General Notes: Husband - Hon. Samuel Linn

---

He was a leading at-torney of Centre County, Pennsylvania, enjoyed a large general practice for many years, and was the foremost land lawyer in that part of the State, where the con-flicting titles and interfering warrants were the subject of litigation involving difficult legal ques-tions, and there were few questions of this na-ture in the surrounding counties in which he was not employed. He was elected President Judge of this District, then composed of Clearfield, Centre and Clinton counties. He was a most eloquent advocate, as a judge clear, explicit, conscientious and just, but owing to his dislike for criminal jurisprudence (which the position included), and which he avoided when at the Bar, unless duty clearly pointed to the advocacy or de-fense in extreme cases involving the good order of society or malicious persecution, he resigned the judgeship in May, 1868, and returned to the practice. He was an author of legal works, and his "Analytical Digest" of adjudged and paral-lel cases was a work involving immense labor and of incalculable value to the profession. Some years after his retirement from the Bench he formed a partnership in the practice of law with Hon. William H. Armstrong, of Williamsport, and went there to live, where he died. Socially, he was highly esteemed; few persons had the fund of anecdotes, or the happy faculty of relat-ing them. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and a representative of the same in all, the high courts.
