Thanks Miller for his "A group of great lawyers of Columbia County, New York," published 1904, DeVinne Press. Written on stationery of 60 Wall Street.
Choate was a lawyer and diplomat, serving as President McKinley's ambassador to Great Britain from 1899-1905. Choate twice helped to arouse New York City to defeat Tammany Hall—in 1871, when the Tweed Ring was exposed, and again in 1894. Miller was a lawyer and author.
