CLASS OF 1867

The tributes to Judge Elisha B. Maynard, since he died in May, have been many and varied. Of these we quote that of Charles L. Gardner, Esq., president of the Bar Association of Hampden County.

“The Judge was an able jurist. He was conscientious in all his dealings, both of an official and of a private nature.

"He was industrious and was always a hard worker. A prime favorite with all who knew him, socially or in a business way, his loss will be a great blow to the Massachusetts judiciary and bar. His association with the Hampden County bar has been extremely pleasant, and every member of the bar in this country and many all over the state will feel in the death of this learned judge a personal loss.

"He was known as a judge of excellent common-sense and good judgment. Whatever his personal feeling toward the parties concerned in cases he presided over, his decisions and charges to the juries, in jury cases, have always been impartial and entirely upon the merits of the case before him.

"He has sat on many important cases, and has rendered decisions so accurately that it has been rare indeed for his rulings to be set aside in appeals. He has given universal satisfaction in his judicial career, and his loss will be great to the judiciary of the state.”

Secretary, Horace Goodhue, Northfield, Minn.
