The saith anniversary of the birth
Of William Penn Whitehouse, one of
the ablest and most popular jurists
of Maine, occurred last Friday, says
The Saunterer in the Portland Tele-
gram. He was born in Vassalboro.
kennebec County, April 8, 1872. He
passed his boyhood and youth on his
fathers farm in his native town and
obtained his early education there in
the common schools. He was fitted
for college at Wateryille Academy,
and in 1859 entered Colby Uni
versity. graduating four years later
| with the highest honors. Following
graduation he taught school, and for
| a short time was principal of Vassal-
boro Academy. But having decided
| on the profession of law, he entered
| the Office of Sewall Lancaster of Au-
gusta, and afterwards continued his
| studies with Hon. Eugene Hale of
| Ellsworth. He was admitted to the
| bar in 1865, and located at Gardiner,
| with Lorenzo Clay as partner. In
1856 he move to Augusta where he
formed a partnership with Hon.
George Clifford. But this partner
| ship lasted only few months, as
| Mr.. Clifford abandoned the law and

| land Daily Press. Entering upon a
general practice, for which he was
| well fitted both by aptitude and bril-
liant application.
Mr.. Whitehouse soon gained the
confidence OF clients and the COM
| munity for his integrity and ability.
In 1868 he was elected city solicitor,
and the following year was appoint
ed county attorney by Governor
Chamberlain to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Francis E.
Webb. and was subsequently twice
elected to that office. In 1873 he was
chairman of the commission on the
new Insane Hospital. and wrote an
able report, which was published by
the state. He was, also, in 1879,
chairman Of committee Of citizens,
interested In the erection of the
graceful and artistic Soldiers Monu-
ment, which adorns the public
square Of Augusta. Mr.. Whitehouse
was largely instrumental in securing
in 1875 the abolition of the dea.h
penalty which had been revived in
Maine. BY act of the Legislature of
1878 the Superior Court for Kennebec
County was established and Mr..
Whitehouse appointed to its bench,
where he presided for IL years. On
April "a. 1890, Judge Whitehouse was
appointed associate justice of the
Supreme Judicial Court as successor
to the late Judge Danforth. and on
July 26, 1911, was made chief Justice,
holding the position until April 9.
1913. when he retired under the age
limit. He resumed the practice of law
in Augusta and continued 1t until his
death, Oct. 10, 1922. Judge White
house was Of striking appearance
and of courtly manners.
