DEATH:
name: John Paul Judson
date of death: 11 Apr 1910

Attorney J.P. Judson Passes Away
John Paul Judson, who for 43 years has practiced law in this state, died at his home April 12, at the age of 70 years. He was the oldest continuously practicing attorney in the state, and until a few weeks ago was at his office daily to attend his work. His death was the result of a general breakdown.
Jusdson was born in Cologne, German Empire, and came to Washington territory in 1853, crossing the plains in a prairie schooner, and settling where the city of Tacoma now stands.
Through his own efforts prepared himself for the practice of law, and in 1867, on the day he was pronounced a lawyer, he entered partnership with C. B. McFadden, under whom he had been reading. This partnership lasted until the death of McFedden.
Judson held the positions of territorial librarian, chief clerk of the house of representatives, and in 1876 was democratic candidate for territorial delegate to congress, being defeated by Judge Orange Jacobs by 73 votes. He was corporation counsel in Spokane for four years, during the administration of Dr. Byrne, and had previously held the same position in Tacoma.
In politics he was identified with the democratic party. In the practice of his profession he was well known throughout the state, and held the highest reputation both for character and ability. He seldom asked favors for himself of for his clients, but ever demanded their rights. A quite, unobtrusive gentleman whose modesty made for him more friends than even he was aware of, he was held in high regard in his profession and by the citizens. For several years he has been president of the Stevens County Bar Association.
Deceased leaves one brother, Stephen Judson of Steilcoom; a son, Adrian P. Judson of McKenna; and four daughters, Mrs. Eunice Daily of McKenna, Mrs. Annie J Koebler of Bellingham, Mrs J. A. Johnson of Spokane, Sister Mary Eunice of Ward.
Funeral services were held at the Catholic church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The pallbearers were selected from the bar association: W.H. Jackson, H.G. Kirkpatrick, John B. Slater, R.A. Thayer, F. Leo Grinstead, S. Douglas. Burial was at the Catholic Cemetery.
Floral tributes were numerous. Deceased was a member of the Spokane lodge of Elks, which sent a beautiful piece. The bar association sent a gorgeous garland of lilies and roses.
