From the Rutland Herald

1t was Horace Henry Powers good
fortune to live long and well, to ser We
the state in important public offices, and
to leave a record of which any man
might be proud. AS citizen, lawyer, rep
resentative and senator in the Legisla-
ture and judge on the bench of Vermont's
highest court he ranked with the best.
Soon after his admission TO the bar he
served as states attorney for Lamoille
county. He was one of the most infuen-
tial members of the state constitutional
convention of 1870 which brought about
the change from annual to biennial SEES
sions Of the Legislature. He had pleas
ant and valuable experience at Wash
ington, serving two terms in the house
of Representatives. Judge Powers per-
sonality was exceptionally pleasing; his
ability was recognized wherever he was
known, and throughout his varied public
career he commanded respect and admi-
ration.
