Description
Excerpt from The North Carolina Booklet, Vol. 17: Great Events in North Carolina History; July, 1917 April, 1918
Some years ago, Colonel Richard Benbury Creecy in a fas cinating article entitled, Our Old Lawyers, expressed the wish that some writer might place his State and its coming sons under a debt of gratitude to him by preparing an elaborate memorial of the great lawyer, Archibald Hender son, who for many years led a profession in North Carolina, which has''always been foremost in its annals and its patriotic work. The obituary which was published by'' his friend, Judge Archibald D. Murphey, presents in classic form and high relief his character aspublicist. I venture to think, says a distinguished jurist,* that we have had no finer set ting forth of the qualities of a great lawyer and citizen, his relations to his profession, the court and the public, than the essay of Judge Murphey on Mr. Henderson. Diligent re search has demonstrated, nevertheless, that no consecutive or detailed biography of Archibald Henderson has ever appeared in print. Memorials of him linger only in that dim region of tradition, where lies Obscure so much of North Carolina'' s past.
