@old_Fairmount Judge Deady was on the (Territorial) Oregon Supreme Court from 1853 to 1859. Our organization is specific to the Federal District Court of Oregon. Judge Deady was the first judge of that court, from 1859 to his death in 1893.
Our purpose is to preserve the unique history of the U.S. District Court of Oregon, established in 1859 with Matthew P. Deady serving as Oregon’s first district judge. #myfirstTweet
@old_Fairmount Nice catch. The "clerk" page/photo in the original tweet is for Deputy Clerks and Judicial Assistants. Here is a photo of the clerk page showing the earliest clerks of the court, with Hamilton Boyd putting in a two year stint before Ralph Wilcox.
