Harvey Demng Hadlock was born at

youngest son of Mary Ann Stanwood and
Edwin Hadlock. His ancestors were
among the earliest settlers of New Eng
land. He obtained his early education
from the instructions of his mother, who
was woman of superior intellect and
! education, from private teachers and in
the schools OF his native place. In 1856
his parents removed to Bucksport Maine,
where he had the advantage of the East
Maine Conference Seminary, in which in
stitution and under the instruction of pri-
vate teachers, he pursued an advanced |
course of classical studies, to which he
added partial scientific course at Dart
mouth College. Acting upon the advice

he commenced the study of law in the |
office of Samuel F, Humphrey at Bangor
Me-, in 1868, and having pursued the re-
quisite course OF study and passed the re-
quired examination he was, on the 9th |

and later OF the federal counts in the dis
f, trlct of Maine, and commenced practice at
BuckspOrt
In the fall of 1865, business having led
him to New Orleans, he pursued in that
city the study of civil and maritime law
under the direction of the late eminent
JuriSt, Christian Roselius. He returned
to Bucksport in the spring of 1866 and
engaged actively in his profession In the
autumn of 1868 he moved to Boston, and
on the seventh day Of October of that
year, he was admitted an attorney and
counsellor of the Supreme Judicial Court
of Massachusetts, and opened an office.
In the spring of 1869 he was called to New
York on important litigation pending in
the United States Circuit Court, and while
a resident OF that city was admitted to

New York.
In the autumn of 1869 he resumed his
practice in Boston, which was then large

ton of the road being assured, he again
settled in Bucksport and was engaged as
counsel in some of the most important
} litigation growing out of the construction
of the Bucksport & Bangor railroad, of
which corporation he was one of the di-
rectors. He continued to reside in Bucks
port for eight years, during which period
he was engaged as counsel in some of the
most important litigation in the courts of
Maine, and established his reputation as
an eloquent advocate and profound jurst,
and earned for himself leading position
at the Maine bar.
= From 1881 until 1887 he resided in Port
land, Me-. and as a member of the Cum
berland bar, enhanced the leading reputa-
ton he had previously earned as sue
cessful practitioner in cases which nvolv-
. ed important interests of railroad cor

= well as criminal cases. In 1887 he return
ed to Boston.
Mr.. Hadlock was married to Miss
. AleXine l.. Goodell of Sea1sport, Me-, in

He was counsel for Miss Bartlett vs.
p Bigelow, which had two trials at East
e Cambridge, This was a suit alleging
breach of contract brought against the es-
tate of DR.. Henry j. Bigelow, probably
the most distinguished physician New
England has ever had.
The Hon. Samuel Hoar was counsel for

aptly done.

and worthy of note, even though Mr.. Had
