InfoStoddard Benham Colby

"Stoddard B. Colby was born in Derby, Vt., in January, 1815--graduated at Dartmouth College, in the class of 1836; and studied law in the office of the late William Upham. He was admitted to the bar in 1838, and practiced his profession at Derby, until 1846--when he removed to Montpelier, and became a partner with J.S. Peck.

He attended County and Supreme Courts in Washington, Caledonia, Orleans, Lamoille, Chittenden and Orange counties, and also in other counties of the State, as counsel in important suits. He was considered one of the best lawyers in the State. . . . In 1864 he was appointed Register of the United States Treasury. . . .

During his stay in Washington, his health became impaired by bilious derangement and diarrhoea, and he died at Haverhill, N.H. Sept. 21, 1867."
