2318 - L. May 30:4/3,4, 5 - Captains W. W. Hutchinson and J. T. Philpot, of
the 103rd Ohio infantry, who fell in action, were both honored members
of the Cleveland Bar association, and at a meeting held in the county
court house resolutions were adopted by that body expressing respect
for the memory of its departed members.
A committee cf five was appointed to receive the remains of the dead
soldiers, among the members being Judge J. P. Bishop, N. B. Sherwin,
and W. C. McFarland.
Judge Bishop, in his adāress on the death of Captain Philpot, said:
"Knowing him as I do, I can bear testimony to his uniform, correct habits
and integrity. Though apparently diffident, when responsibility de-
volved upon him he never shrank from it, but performed it with unwonted
firmness and integrity. -
"It was the discovery of this trait of character that caused me to
advise him to enter the service of the country, and do what he could to
aid in the suppression of the rebellion."
W. C. McFarland spoke principally about Captain Hutchinson, saying,
"I was well and 1ntimately acquainted with him. He was my classmate in
law school. In my judgment his was not one of those great overshadowing
minds which so readily grasp the philosophy, and dive deep into the
bowels of the law, but he was a man of ordinary capacity, with remarkable
industry." (52)
