for many years he took prominent
part In litigation, and as the close as
sociate and partner Of the late Levi c.
Bird. no one was more actively engag-

consideration he extended TO Mr.. Bird,

an active interest in the public affairs
OF the community and oourage0usly
expressed and maintained his Views OF

early childhood first in the district
school at Mlddletown, and afterwards
as my room and classmate at Lafay-
cite College.
"He had good habits and applied him
self diligently to his studies. He grad

and commenced the study OF law in
the office Of Levi c. Bird.
we were intimately associated to-
gethcrrNhile he was studying law and
during the early years OF his practice. |
Nothing ever transpired between us to !
sever our friendship. / shall never /
forget his unfailing courtesy and his
many acts Of kindness to me. while in
timately associated with him.
He was one Of the ablest lawyers in
this State. He was a great reader and
seemed to derive much pleasure from
this course. lie was always courteous
and Kind and careful not TO offend or
hurt the feelings Of some other per-
son. His domestic life deserved great ]
admiration, he was affeotionate to his /
family and found great happiness in his
home.
"The reputation Of Andrew E. San
born, Esq, reposes in safety on a sure
foundation. A Christian gentleman and
a scholar, an eminent lawyer, generous
and true friend, a good citizen and an
honest man." II

'We are again called upon to pay
parting tribute to a fellow cOmrade. /
Few Of us dreamed, however. that the I
call would bear the name Of Sanborn. 1
Some weeks ago l was in Wildwood, /
and my attention was called to the l
quiet and attractive residence which
Ssnborn and his family were occupying !
for the summer. ! did not get 10 see Z
him, but It was with feeling Of great /
satisfaction that ! saw that one member :
OF the bar at least was relaxing in a way {
that ought TO make life more worth /
living and give comfort and reassur-
ance to those most interested in his I
welfare

was in III health and the news Of his
sudden death came TO me as a shocking
surprise
without being at all. what may be
called intimate In my relations with
Mr. Sanborn, think / can claim to have $
known him well for many years. /
have known him from the time he came 7
TO Wilmington TO study law in the Of a
fee Of the late Levi C. Bird down to 3
the present time and II is with pleasure
and satisfaction that can say that dur L
ing all the time Of my acquaintance
with him I have never known him to Y
do an unkindly act or to give utterance r
TO harsh or ungentlemanly word. His r
life thas been one Of labOrious indus
try with scrupulous regard for the n
rights and feelings Of others. His whole
time has been devoted to the practice d
Of his profession which he has honored a
by his ability as a lawyer and by his
ilawless integrity OF character. h
Mr.. SanbOrn belongs TO a class which
while not at all aggressive or conspic- P
nous in public affairs is nevertheless. an [
indispensable and vital factor in our
civic and political welfare. II is the

ing. law abiding and law upholding cit
izens which makes American Institutions
what they are today, and gives to this
country its world leadership in ad-
Nancing and upholdlng ideals which
