“SUDDEN DEATH OF HON WH JESSUP
(3rd column)
“Ex-judge WHJessup died suddenly of heart disease yesterday mornign in his apartments at the home of Miss Mary Mattes 119 Jefferson Ave. It was entirely unexpected and came as a shock to not only his family and friends but to this entire community in which he had come to be regarded as one of the most dittinguished men Scranton has ever been honored with.
“Wednesday he was actively engaged in his law office and about the courts and yesterday he was to have appreaded in an argument before the Superior court.
“With his daughter Miss Louise Jessup he attended the lecture on Alaska given by Rev VH Lukens at the 1st Presbyterian church Wednesday evening and retired about 10 oclock without making any complaint of illness. It was his custom to sleep with a window of his bed room open and to rise upon waking to close it, that the room might be warmed before it wa time to get up and dress. Yesterday moring he awoke about 330 oclock and closed the window. On his way back to bed he began to cough so violently that his wife was awakened. As the coughing continued Mrs Jessup became alarmed and lighting the gas called her daughter. The judge sat on the side of the bed and continued to cough more violently. At first he said in answer to his wife’s queries that there was nothing the matter but after a time he said he thought his heart was affected.
“SANK BACK AND DIED
“Five minutes after he sat down on the bed he suddenly sank backwards and in a short time expired. Dr JE Obrien and DR HV Logan who were summoned the moment the first alarm was felt responded with all haste, but did not arrive until after death had ensued.
“The news of his death was recieved with expressions of the deepest sorrow in all circles. While it is true he had passed by 2 years the allotteed 3 score years and ten, he was yet a vigorous man physically and as to mentality it might be said he was never more vigorous. His erect carriage ruddy cheeks clear complexion and bright eye bespoke for him many more years of activity. Consequently it was all the more shocking to hear that his end had come.
“It seemed as if the news caused a pall to hang over the court house all day long. No one who was an habitue of the courthouse but came to have the highest regard and admiration for Judge Jessup. He was always affable and thoroughly sincere and was ever the true American gentleman.
“The Lackawanna Bar association will meet at 11 oclock this morning in special session to take action on Judge Jessups’s death. The local courts will adjourn for the meeting and the Superior court as a mark of its sorrow will adjourn during the same period.
“The funeral will take place Saturday at 12 oclock noon from the Mattes home on Jefferson Ave. Services will be conducted at the house by Rev James McLeod pastor of the 1st Presbyterian church and interment will be made in Montrose.
“SKETCH OF DECEASED”
“Hon William Huntting Jessup has long been known as one of the most able and distinguised lawyers of Pennsylvania. He was born in Montrose, Susquehanna county, Jan 20 1830. He was a descendant of the Jessup family which immigrated from Englan to Rhode Island about the middle of the 17th century. He was the eldest of five sons of Hon Will Jessup LL D who came to Northeastern Pennsylvania from South Hampton Long Island in 1818 and made his home in Montrose for the reaminder of his life. The elder Judge Jessup was president judge of the district composed of the counties of Luzerne, Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Susquehanna for many years. The 2 brothers of Judge Jessup next younger than himself are the Rev Henry H Jessup DD, and Rev Samuel Jessup DD who have been for 33 and 26 years respectively and still are missionaries under the care of the Presbyterian Board of Foriegn Missions at Beirut, Syria. The only other survivor of the brothers and sisters is Miss Fanny M Jessup of Montrose
“Judge Jessup’s early education was obtained at the Cortland Academy Homer NY at one time under the charge of Samuel D Woolwarth DD. In 1846 at the age of 16 he entered the sophomore class of Yale college, from which he graduated in 1849 at the age of 19. Among his college classmates were Timothy Dwight DD LL D until recently the president of Yale college; Judge Francis M Fitch of the NY Court of Appeals and many other men dis-
(4th column)
“tinguised in professional and business life.
“BEGAN STUDY OF LAW
“Immediately after his graduation he commenced the study of law and was admitted to the bar in November 1851 at the last term of court held by his fahter with whom he immediately entered into partnership inthe practice of law and has activiely pursued it ever since, having at te very outset a very wide and important clientale in all the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. He entered the practice of law as he did everything else in life, with the greatest zeal, earnestness and thoroughness, and soon became and always continued to be one of the most prominent and successful lawyers in this part of the state in the state courts and those of the US and he has been everywhere known as an accurate thorough and able lawyer.
“In 1877 he was appointed president judge of the 34th district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Street. He served upon th ebench of that district until 1879 his administration of the office being distinguished for the clearness of his decisions and the rapid dispatch of the business of the various courts. As a jusge he was remarkable for his ready comprehension and quick recognition of the essential points in cases brought before him, for his thorough knowledge of all the branches of the law relating to the same, and for his absolute and unswerving impartiality in hos administration. On retiring from the bench he resumed the practice of law with his residence at Montrose but his practice widely extended over the state.
“REMOVED TO THIS CITY
“About 1889 he roved to Scranton and entered into partnership with Isaac J Post taking the place in the firm of Hon Alfred Rand who had been recently elevated to the bench. He has ever since had his principal office in Scranton having as partners successively Mr Post, Horace E Hand esp. and his son William H Jessup jr esq, with whol he was still associated a the time of his death under the firm name of Jessup & Jessup. The business of his later years was largely corporation practice, and he was one of the most active lawyers and advocates in this part of the state up to the very time of his death. Only last October he was leading counsel for the defendant in one of th most important and longest cases ever tried before the circuit court of the US here that of the Russell heirs against the Delaware and Hudson company the outcome of the case being a complete victory for his clients. His practice in the appellate courts was always large and his breadth of grasp of leagl principles, his accurate knowledge of the development of the common law, the decisions of the state and US courts, and the statutes made him one of the most powerful members of the bar in all cases involving accturate knowledge and exhaustive research.
“His frankness of manner, his sincerity, his clearness of statement, his rich full voice and attractive personal presence made him always a powerful advocate before court and jury. He was remarkable for nothing so much during his entire professional career to the very day of his death as for his intense energy and tireless industry. At a period of life when most men seek release from the burdens of business, he was devoting often from 12 to 16 hours a day to the most thorough and exhausting labors.
“WAS A REPUBLICAN
“In politics, Jusge Jessup was an ardent republican, having assisted in the organizing of the Republican party in his native town in November 1854 and in every campaign since that time he has taken the stump for the maintenance of his principles and is known througout the state as one of the most eloquent and popular political orators, He personally represented his district in the convention which nomi-nated
(5th column)
“nated Abraham Lincoln for his 2nd term, his father havong been a member of the convention which first nominated Lincoln. He was a delegate to the convention which nominated General Grant to the presidency in 1868, and was one of the delegates at large from Pennsylvania to the convention which named Mr Blaine in 1884. Though prevented from enlisting during the war of the Rebellion by his large business responsibilities and the necessary care of an aged and infirm father, he was unceasingly active in the support of the governemnt, giving largely of time and money, and during the invasion of Pennsylvania in 1862-63 he was active in service as major of the 28th regiment of PA volunteer militia. In 1863 he was appointed by President Lincoln assessor of the internal revenue for the 12th collection district of PA, one of the richest districts of the state. In 1871 he was commisioned by the governor John W Geary major general of the 10th division of the Natioanl Guard of PA. He was never and office seeker, but was always ready to serve his neighborhood, his state, or his country in any capacity however humble or howeer dignified to the full extant of hiw power and ability. He was active in all public enterprises one of his latest engagements being a masterly address delivered before a public meeting called by the Citizen’s Alliance in Scranton about 2 weeks ago, in whih the laws giverning the relations between labor and capitoal were most fully and thoroughly expounded.
“HIS PRIVATE CHARACTER
“All Judge Jessup’s personal and professional qualities and achievements seem at this time of small moment compared to the beauty and purity of his private character. In early life he became a professing Christian, joining the Presbyterian church in Montrose of which he has been an active elder for over 40 years. He has constantly appeared in the eccliastical courts of his church fromt he lowest to the highest, and has taken an active interest in every enterprise of the church at home and abroad. He was for over 25 years the Superintendant of the Sunday school of the Montrose church, resigning only because of the removal of his residence and within a few weeks of his death he accepted the appointment as teacher of a Bible class in the 1st Presbyterian church in Scranton. His personal life bith at home, in his business and in all the relations of life, was marked by the utmost simplicity, purity, frankness and transparency. No breath of suspicion of anything inconsistent with his character as a professed believer in the Gospel of Jesus Christ has ever been uttered, and he leaves behind a memory for purity and usefulness and helpfullness to his fellow-men which will ong survive him. In all these respects he followed with singular completeness the example of his illustrious father.
“In October 1853 he married Miss Sarah W Jay of Belvedere NJ by whom he has had 2 sons and 4 daughters, of whom there survive him his son William H Jessup jr his partner in business at the time of his death; Mrs Albert Leisenring of Upper Lehigh PA; Mrs William Woodin of Berwick PA, and Miss Louise Jessup of MOntrose.”

I think I found your Annie, 1867-1941, married William Hartman Woodin, 1868-1934, they were married in Montrose PA in 1889. Her parents were William Hunting Jessup, 1830-1902, and Sarah Wilson Jay, 1834-1905, they were married Oct. 5, 1853 in Scranton, PA. Annie's siblings were Lillian Jay, William Henry, Mary Chandler, George Scranton, and Sarah Louise. William Hunting Jessup's parents were the honorable William Jessup, 1979-1868...he was born in Southhampton, LI and died in Montrose...and Amanda Harris (they were married Jul 14, 1820 in North Sea, LI.) Their other children were Jane Rose, Mary Sophia, Harriet Amanda, Henry Harris, Samuel, Fanny Mulford, George A., Phebe Ann and Hunting Cooper. This line goes back to the immigrant John of England, the first of our Jessup ancestors to come to America. Hope this helps...and that I'm talking about the right Annie!
