the law department, and in the autumn
of the same year he became member
of the bar. Soon after, he removed to
Reading, Pennsylvania, and practiced
law in that city as a profession. He
was a democrat by political faith, and
obtained early recognition from his
party, occupying several municipal off,
.ces and taking an interest in education.
In 1886 he was elected by the democrats
of Berks county, Pennsylvania, repre-
sentative to Congress, a position in
which he gave such satisfaction that he
was reelected at the end of his term.
He was chairman Of the Committee on
Elections in the House, and filled sew
eral other responsible offices, but de-
clined an offer of denomination for a
third term. He resumed active practice
at his law office upon his return to pri-
vate life, and gained such distinction
THE LATE JUSTICE STRONG.
that in 1857 he was elected "a judge of
Supreme court Of Pennsylvania for the
term of fifteen years. After holding
that place for eleven years he resigned
October 1, 1868. His retirement from
public business was not long, however,
for in 1870 he was named by President
Grant as associate judge Of the United
States Supreme court in place of Judge
Grier, resigned. He was a member of
the tribunal which passed upon the
constitutionality of the legal-tender
acts, and it was charged that he had
been chosen for the place by Grant with
the express purpose of insuring de-
cision favorable to that legislation. Be
that as it may, Judge Strong's opinion
was given in support of the acts in
question. Judge Strong may fairly be
said to have been, at the time of his
death, the oldest man of national i'm
portance in the country. His reputa-
ton was achieved, too, without reflec-
ton upon his personal character. He
was a layman, respected and honored,
in the Presbyterian church, and the re-
ports of his good work as Christian
and philanthropist are not few He
lent support by personal advice or
financially to the American Tract So
ciety, the American Bible Society, and
the Salvation Army. He was not a
wealthy man, but had freely given of
what he possessed. He held the hon
orary degree of Doctor of Laws from
Lafayette College, Pennsylvania, from
Princeton, and from Yale.

Nevertheless, Mr.. Kingsbury accepted

He was a son of Rev. William L. Strong,
