"In performing the duties of his profession, he frequently represented rallroad companies and other corporations in the defense of actions for damages brought by injured workmen or the dependent familles of men who were killed in their occupations.

He never took any unfalr advantage of any of those people whom he was required to oppose in these cases, and it he thought that there was liability 011 the part of the company he represented he would use every effort to secure a settlement and thereby relieve the injured and dependent of the long. tedious process of a contested lawsuit. The last case of this nature In which 1 had dealings with Mr. Fairchild was in representing five children of a man who was killed in the St. Paul shops, The head office of the company in Chicago refused to pay 1 anything in settlement of the case except a paltry sum.

After Mr. Fairchild was placed in charge of the case he called me over to his office and said that while there was question as to the liability of the company, he wanted to do what he could help provide for these children had lost their father, and it largely through his personal efforts that a substantial sum was paid them by the railroad company.

years ago when I began my practice, Mr. Fairchild was a leader of the Bar in Green Bay and in the State. His outstanding qualities of inherent honesty, fair practice, hard work and tenacity easily served a model for a young lawyer to emulate. It was not essential that one should come in personal contact with him to feel his influence. Young lawyers have plenty of time to learn by observation.

Mr. Fairchild then at the height of his career served as a model for such observation. He possessed legal of such high order and his mental grasp was so clear, his logic so persuasive and convincing that it was Impossible for 1 him to be anything short of a leader in his profession. As citizen. carrying to his duties 8.4 such the same qualities as those practiced at the bar, nothing short of the best in government, local, state and national satisfied him and he never hesitated to take an active part in attempting to maintain the highest of such standards." At Head of Profession TIMOTHY BURKE: "Mr.

He was positively honest in all his convictions, and ever free to admit his m'atake in any matter concerning his fellow men. TR outstanding characteristic was his great deference, conceding to them and each of them. the right to enjoy honest convictions, A privilege most highly appreciated by himself.

He had a delightful personality; sometimes a bit terrifying to the young practitioner at the law, but those who knew him well, knew the kindly, cheerful, helpful attitude in which he stood to so many of his AMMeciates in the law and in the ether relations of life. As a citizen, his time, experience, thought and purse were at the disposal and service of Green Bay. In its material and spiritual development and in Its progress toward municipal cleanliness and a finer, higher life he took all important part. AR a lawyer he was careful. exact and painstaking.

I have met no attorney with finer Ideals and A higher conception of legal ethics than those practiced and followed by Mr.
