Obituary.
HON. LEONARD E. WALES, 745,
The Hon. Leonard E. Wales, Judge
of the United States Courts for the
District of Delaware, died at his
home in Wilmington, Del., on the
night of February 8. He had been ill
put a short time, and his death was
a great surprise to all. It was caused
by bronchitis, which resulted from an
attack of the grip.
Judge Wales was born in Wilming-
ton on November 26, 1823. His schooi
days were distributed among several
academies, but he finished his prepara-
tion for college at the Hopkins Gram-
mar School of New Haven.
On graduating from Yale in 1845 he
began a course of law under his
father’s instruction, and on May 8,
1848, he was admitted to the bar. He
was then for two years associated
with John A. Allderdice, a young
brother lawyer, in editing the Dela-
ware State Journal, which was the
organ of the Whig party in that State.
For several years he was clerk of the
United States Courts in the Delaware
‘District, and in 1853 he was elected
’ City Solicitor at Wilmington, and was
re-elected in the folowing year.
Governor Wales occupied several
important positions in the army dur-
ing the Civil War. On October 1, 1864,
he was appointed by Governor Can-
non, Associate Judge at New Castle
County. This position Judges Wales
filled until March 6, 1884, when, by
President Cleveland, he was appointed
Judge of the United States Court, to
Succeed Judge Edward G. Bradford,
who died January 17, 1884. He had
filled that position with great ‘accep-
tability to both thie profession and the
people of his State.
In politics Judge Wales was origin-
ally a Whig, but he had been a mem-
ber of the Republican party since its
organization in Delaware in 1856. He
was a inember of the Presbyterian
Church and took an interest in its
affairs. From 1879 until a few years
ago Judge Wales was president of the
Delaware Historical Society, and prob-
ably took more interest in it than any
other man in the State. He was
president cf the Cincinnati Society and
Sons of the American Revolution.
Judge Wales was never married, and
made his home with his late sister,
Miss Wales, and his surviving sister,
Mrs. Bissell.
A New Haven
lawyer, who knew
Judge Wales
rersonally, writes of
, goim:—
“He was a man of unusual simplic-
ity of nature and manner, remarkably
cordia’, sympathetic and graceful in
his companionship with his friends,
and with a memory ready with its in-
teresting and instructive store of
reading and reminiscence. He always
displayed a great interest in the Col-
lege and the success of its graduates,
old and young. On the bench he won
the respect of all by his careful and
conscientious performance of ‘his very
exacting duties. For a long time (my
impression is for three years or more)
he carried the burden of Judge Nix-
on’s Court in the District of New Jer-
sey during that judge’s temporary
disability, hearing and deciding many
“important cases.’’

1897.

August 5, 1825, and a grandson of
Bernard Pratte, founder of the Amer-
ican Fur Co. The father of Bernard
Antoine was twice mayor of St. Louis.
The Prattes beonged to the old French
residents of St. Louis, and were con-
nected in business and by marriage
with the Chonteaus, Cabannes and
other old French families of St. Louis,
many of whom were engaged in the
fur trade, and in which John Jacob
Astor laid the foundation of his great
fortune. After graduating, Pratte
studied law and established himself
in St. Louis. When the war broke out
he entered the Confederate Army as
a private, and later became an ord-
nance Officer. After the war he en-
tered commercial business and later
became secretary of an insurance com-
pany at Atlanta. For some years past
he had resided at Decatur. He was
buried at St. Louis. His wife was
Eliza Gibson Edwards of Louisville,
Ky. He left no children.
WILLIAM LAMPSON, ‘62.
William Lampson, ’62, died at his
residence in Le Roy, N. Y., on Sun-
day, February 14. On January il,
1896, Mr. Lampson suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis, and for several
months was unable to leave his house.
his
condition became worse, and since
that time was in very feeble health.
Mr. Lampson was born in Le Roy,
N. Y., on February 28, 1840, and was
the son of Miles P. Lampson. He re-
ceived his preliminary education in his
native town, and entered College in
1868. After graduation Mr. Lampson
studied for two years in Germany and
in this country. In 1867 he received
the degree of LL.B. from Columbia.
In 1869 he became president of the
First National Bank of Le Roy, a po-
sition which he held until the time of
his death. For several years previous
to his death he led a very retired life,
devoting a great deal of his time to
reading and study. Mr. Lampson
never married, and has no near rela-
tives in this country.
