Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Observances of George Frisbie Hoar The City of Worcester is clothed in mourning. Her heart beats in sorrow. The death of George Frisbie Hoar, which occurred at his home in Worcester on Friday, the thirtieth day of September, 1904, has caused sadness in the Commonwealth and nation, but in this the city of his residence, it brings a peculiar and personal grief to all her citizens. For more than fifty years he had lived in Worcester and rendered her name conspicuous and honorable by the preeminence which he attained. It was here that he began the practice of his chosen profession and rose by the fidelity, industry, brilliancy, breadth of vision, soundness of judgment, and absolute integrity which characterized his every act and which were a part of the mental and moral fibre of the man, to be, by common consent, a lawyer without an equal at the bar of this county, in learning, capacity and wisdom. The only municipal office which he ever held was that of City Solicitor, and he often served the city as special counsel in important litigation, until the very last of his life. His extraordinary faculties as a lawyer were retained untarnished and growing more strong and powerful as the years passed by, although his life work widened into broader fields than those open to the advocate practicing before the courts. The unerring logic of his intellectual processes, the retentiveness of his memory, which suffered no fact or rule to escape from its grip, the incisiveness of his mind, the profoundness and breadth of his professional learning, adorned as it was by all the grace of classical and modern literature, and his instinctive grasp of fundamental truths and constitutional principles placed him in the foremost rank of the great lawyers of the country. He was forty-two years of age when elected in 1868 to public life as a member of the national House of Representatives. Equipped as he was with all the learning of his profession, and in the maturity of his great powers, he was at once welcome to the most important counsels of the nation and thrust into places of greatest responsibility. In 1877 he was elected to the Senate of the United States, and by successive re-elections he has been continued in that highest of legislative bodies until his death.
