The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 11-1897 DEATH OF JUDGE LORISH. Warsaw.--The Hon. Andrew J. LORISH, County Judge of Wyoming county, died at his home in this village this morning at 4 o'clock. His death was the result of a stroke of paralysis with which he was stricken while on an Erie train between Warsaw and Attica on the morning of March 6, 1896. His left side was affected and it was feared that the shock would prove immediately fatal, but he recovered sufficiently to be able to attend to his duties as County Judge and Surrogate. He leaves a widow and one daughter. Andrew Jackson LORISH was born in South Dansville, Steuben county, November 8, 1832, being the seventh of a family of twelve children. When he was fourteen years old his family removed to Linden, where Mr. LORISH remained until reaching his majority, attending the district school during the winter and in the summer working on the farm. The last two winters of his school life were spent at Bethany Academy, to which he walked from his home, a distance of three miles, each day. He then taught in district schools for a few years and in 1856 entered the office of the Hon. Solomon HUBBARD of Dansville and began the study of law. After remaining a year in Dansville he went to Attica and continued his studies with the late Justice Thomas CORTLETT and after being admitted to the bar formed a partnership with the latter. He enlisted in the 130th regiment in 1862, and remained in the service until June, 1865, when he was honorably discharged and returned to Attica and resumed the practice of law. Mr. LORISH was elected a Justice of the Peace in 1860, and in 1871 was appointed postmaster at Attica, holding the office continuously for 16 years. He was elected County Judge and Surrogate of Wyoming county in 1889 and re-elected in 1895. He was always an unswerving Republican and stood high in the councils of his party and as a citizen. + + SUING FOR $20,000 DAMAGES. William W. HAWLEY, a brakeman on the New York Central railroad, who at that time lived on Evans street in Batavia, was killed in Rochester on March 15, 1896, by falling under the cars near the Ames street crossing. He was head brakeman on a freight train, the entire crew of which lived in Batavia. He had been in the cab of the engine to warm himself, it being a cold night, and, after leaving it, was never seen alive again. HAWLEY left a widow and three children, who soon after his death removed to Rochester, where they formerly lived. Mrs. HAWLEY has now instituted a suit for damages against the company, claiming the sum of $20,000 on the ground that the death of her husband was due to the negligence of the company. A defective drawhead is alleged as the cause. The company's answer denies responsibility for the accident. HAWLEY was the son of Phineas V. HAWLEY, a coal dealer in Rochester. He was 28 years old. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
