tude of many a witness through his maintenance of absolute fairness and consideration in examination. His elevation to the Supreme Bench in 1891 brought general satisfaction to the bar, and his welcome by his associates was cordial and enthusiastic. He resigned from the bench, on account of ill health, in 1906. The dignity of the bench has seldom been better maintained, and the opinions delivered take high rank in the jurisprudence of the State. While Reporter for the Court, he was for two years a lecturer in the Harvard Law School, and at two different periods a lecturer in the Law School of Boston University. In 1906 he received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Williams College. He was elected a member of this Society in December, 1905. Though he was a frequent writer on professional topics, he made no contributions to our printed Proceedings, and, owing to the increasing infirmities of age, he was an irregular attendant at the monthly meetings. Judge Lathrop was also a member of the Loyal Legion, of the Military Historical Society, of the Union Club, of which he was President for two years, of the St. Botolph Club, of which he was Vice-President for seven years, and of other organizations. He was married in June, 1875, to Eliza Davis Parker, daughter of Richard Green Parker, a well-remembered teacher in Boston, and author of numerous school books. Mrs. Lathrop died in Boston, in July, 1903. They had no children, but their marriage was a very happy one. Judge Lathrop died of pneumonia, August 24, 1910, at Dedham, where he had passed the summer during the later years of his life. In his retirement he lived among the books he loved so well, and a peaceful death ended a life of achievement and honor. Kansas State Historical Society. KENTUCKY. Louisville.
