BAR MEMORIALIzES
DEPARTED MEMBERS

Adhering to an established custom,
members Of the bar Of Medina county,
assembled at the court house Monday
morning to eulogize the memory Of
two members who had been summon
ed by death-A. D. Licey and Chas.
D. Wightman, and to pass an ap-
propriate set Of resolutions upon the
departure of each.
The occasion marked session of
court, presided over by Judge N. HI.
Mcclure, and was formally opened
and adjourned by Bailff John A. Clark.
Those who participated in the eulogy
We're Attorneys Frank Heath, F. 0.
Phillips, Frank Spellman and J. w.
Seymour, all Of whom had enjoyed
intimate acquaintance with the de-
ceased for many years and who at
tested the sterling qualities of man
hood each possessed.
J. w. Seymour, as chairman of a
committee on resolutions on the death
of A. D. Licey, the other members
being Geo. A. Richards and Arthur
VanEpp, presented the following:
To. Hon. Nathan H. Mcclure, Judge,
and Members Of Medina County Bar:
Hon. Alvin D. Licey, a member of
the Medina County bar, was born at
Hillstown, Pa, Sept. 13, 1882. He
came-to Medina county in 1849, and
resided here continuously until the
time of his death, which occurred
April /, 1918. His early life was
occupied as clerk in a general store,
until about the year 1856, when he
went into the mercantile business for
himself, in the village of River Styx,
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1919-01-03

where he has ever since lived. In
1857 he was elected Justice of Peace
in Guilford township, which Office he
held for IS years, and while thus en-
gagged he studied law and was admit
ted to practice about the year 1858.
Having disposed of his store property,
he followed the profession of the law
until a short time before his death.
In 1870 he was chosen member of
the State Board of Equalization. In
1879 he was elected a member of the
Ohio Legislature, which office he held
for two terms, serving on important
committees and rendering faithful ser
vice to his country and state.
He was married to Martha Wilson,
Oct. 10, 1858, to which union four
children were born, namely: Des-
demona, Ilzaide, John o., and Kit
tie. Desdemona is the only child
now surviving him.
Mr.. Licey's law practice was almost
entirely confined to the interests of
the farmers in the community where
he lived and maintained his office.
He enjoyed the confidence of large
clientage thruout the entire south
eastern part of the county, where, by
his fearless honesty, square dealing,
and courtesy, he built up very profit
able business which he held until his
retirement about two years ago.
Although a good trial lawyer, Mr..
Licey never sought notoriety in that
direction. He always sought to keep
his clients out of litigation, and his
success in that direction gave to him
the confidence of the people and the
influence he held over them. He was
of the old school of lawyers in which
courtesy was always practiced. When
ever he came into court, judges, court
officers, and attorneys, all received his
kindly salutations.

Resolutions on the death of Charles
D. Wightman, were read by Frank
Heath, chairman Of the committee of
which Frank Spellman and r. @. Phil
lips were the other members. The
resolutions follow: '%
To the Hon. Judge of the Court Of
Common Pleas. of Medina County,
Ohio: F
\ The bar of Medina county, O., is
again called upon to mark the passing
of one Of it's members. Today we
mourn the death Of Charles d. Wight
man, who was engaged in the practice
of law in this village from the time
of his admission to the bar until he
succumbed to the fatal disease that
took him from this life, Sunday morn
ing, Dec. Is, 1913. &s
Charles d. Wightman was born
Nov. rs, 1866, on farm in Lafayette
township, this county, Educated in
the common schools Of that township,
the Medina high school, and the Ad-
rian (Michigan) College, from which
he graduated in 1889. Later he took
up the study of law with the late
Judge Hayden and was admitted to
the bar in 1898. Immediately after
his admission he began active prac-
tice and in the same year, 1898, was
elected Prosecuting. Attorney and re-
elected in 1896. Shortly before the
end of his second term as Prosecuting
Attorney he was elected State SEN
ator and represented this district, of
which this county is part, two sue
cessive terms. In 1905 he. was ap-
pointed postmaster at Medina, which
position he held for six years, after
which he devoted the remaining years
of his life to his chosen profession.
In all the public positions he filled
he performed his duties in a manner
rejecting credit to himself and honor
to his constituents. He was gifted to
an unusual degree with the grace Of
oratory and was master in the art
of public speaking.
His patriotism was Of the highest
order, and even while insidious dis
ease was sapping his vitality he de-
voted much time to Red Cross and
other war work, doing all he could to
help make the world decent place to
live in.
As a lawyer he stood well at the
bar; dignifed, courteous, strictly hon
est, he was held in high esteem by
the courts and his fellow members Of
the bar. He took great interest in
politics, but was not a mere polite
ian. He belonged to that higher or
der known as statesmen. His hand
never was sullied by a bribe and sus-
picion's finger never pointed his way. Y.
Upright, clean and honest is the
record he has left. ri
As a little tribute to our departed
friend and brother we present this
brief memorial of his life and charac-.
ter and ask that it be spread upon the
journals of this court. M

Frank Spellman,

Mr.. Licey was a man of ripe judg-
ment, safe counsel and strict integrity,
and an honored and respected member
of this bar.
Therefore, Be it Resolved by the
Bench and Bar of Medina county,
That, with deep regret and profound
sorrow, we hear this obituary of Al
vim d. Licey.
Resolved, That the Clerk of Court
be directed to place these resolutions
upon the records of the court, and
communicate copies thereof to the
surviving daughter of the deceased,
and to the newspapers of the county.
Resolved, That as a further mark
of our respect, the Court be asked to
adjourn.

CABINET CRISIS
IN ENGLAND ENDS

London, Oct. 25.-The British cabi-
net apparently had ended today with
a proposed compromise of the amend
ment to the alien bill. Defeat of the
government amendment in the house
Of commons Thursday was generally
accepted as indicating lack Of conf
dence in the Lloyd George administra-
ton. AS originally framed, the
amendment excepted Frenchmen from
the clause barring aliens from holding
British pilots certificates. Following
conference between members of the
cabinet and leaders of the revolving
vaction, it was announced that COM
promise amendment had been produc-
ed which would not antagonize France.
The attorney general will assist in
drafting one new amendment which is
expected will be introduced when par
lament reconvenes Monday.

Administration leaders made no effort
to conceal their concern over the
threatened strike of coal miners, the
renewal of the strike movement among
railroad workers and the fall between
labor and capital, brought about by
dissolution of the national industrial
