Chapter III: Part 3

Judge Francis was born in Connecticut. He was a graduate from Oberlin College and then came to Newark, where he became a member of the law firm of Titsworth, Francis & Marsh. He served as city counsel of Newark from 1871 to 1875 and in the State Senate from 1879 to 1881. In 1882 Mr. Francis went to Dakota. At that time the two Dakotas were united in a territory of the United States. After completing his term as Supreme Court Judge there he became attorney for the Northern Pacific Railroad. About twenty years ago he returned to Newark. Mr. Francis was a Master in Chancery and had offices with Scharringhausen & Hartpence, 800 Broad street. Mr. Francis is survived by a widow, who was Miss Annie Yeomans of Newark. He is also survived by a niece, Mrs. C. L. Bryant of Danbury, Conn., and a cousin, Miss Mary Francis, of Newark.
