Judge Daniel Agnew, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, delivers a speech at the dedication of the new court house. We quote... "here allow me to correct an error in the County History of James Patterson. I did not study law with Robert Moore, but with Henry Baldwin and W. W. Fettermen. Mr. Baldwin was afterwards a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, not of this state, as set down. He was an extraordinary man, highly endowed both physically and intellectually."
