S. A.
NORTHWAY was born on the 19th day of June, 1833, in a village
called Christian Hollow, county of Onondaga, State of New York,
where he lived until July, 1840. On the 13th day of July 1840,
he came with his parents to the township of Orwell, in this county,
and resided in the north-eastern part of the township. His
home was in the woods, there being then no road nearer than about
half a mile. The only common school he ever attended was two
and three-quarter miles from his home. In 1851 when Prof.
Tuckerman opened the Academy in Orwell, he commenced to attend
there, and continued during the spring and fall, until 1856.
During the winters he taught school. In 1858 he began to read
law with Messrs. Chaffee & Woodbury, and on the 22d of
September, 1859, he was admitted to the Bar. In 1861 he was
nominated and elected a member of the House of Representatives in
the State Legislature. In January, 1862, he became a resident
of Jefferson, commencing the practice of law here on July 1, 1862.
Mr. Northway is of an affable disposition, a generous and
public spirited man, a ready speaker, and can make as good a stump
speech on short notice as any man in the county; he is marked as one
of our rising men.
