.DIED.
MIDDLETON - In this city, March 29th, Hon. George H. Middleton, in the 59th year of his age.
Funeral services at his late residence, corner of Willow and Townsend streets, Thursday, the 21st inst. at 2 'clock p.m. Friends of the family are invited to attend.

DEATH OF JUDGE MIDDLETON - Under the obituary head will be found a notice of the death of Hon. Geo. H. Middleton. Judge M. formerly resided in Wayne county, where he held the office of First Judge for one term, besides other positions of trust and responsibility. He was also once a candidate for Congress, in the District composed of Wayne and Cayuga. Removing to this city about ten years ago, he has since made Syracuse his residence. Last spring he was the Union candidate for Justice of the Peace, but with the rest of the ticket defeated. Of considerable literary culture, exemplary in conduct and gentlemanly in all his intercourse with others, his death leaves an "aching void" in the community

BAR MEETING - A largely attended meeting of the Bar was held yesterday afternoon at he Court House, to adopt measures suitable to the occasion of the death of the late Judge Middleton. Hon. James R Lawrence was called to Chair, and Finley M. King elected Secretary.

On motion of Geo. N. Kennedy, Esp., a committee of three was appointed to draft resolutions, consisting of Geo. N. Kennedy, B. Davis Noxon and Wm. J. Hough.

The committee retired, and on returning presented, through Mr. Kennedy, their chairman, the following report:

Whereas, It has pleased an all-wise Providence, in the execution of His inscrutable purposes to take from us, in the midst of his usefulness, our much esteemed professional brother and friend, we, while humbly bowing in submission to the will of the Most High, cannot refrain from the expression of our sorrow for the sad bereavement; therefore,
Resolved, That we tender to the sorrowing widow and suffering children of our deceased friend our heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement, and pray them to remember that a good God hath promised protection to the fatherless, and that to Him consolation can alone be found in affliction like this.
Resolved, That we will attend the funeral of the deceased in a body.
Resolved. That the proceedings of this meting be published in the city papers, and a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of the deceased.
On motion of Hon. Grove Lawrence, the resolutions were unanimously adopted.

After the adoption of the resolutions, the Chairman very feelingly addressed the meeting respecting the many excellent qualities of the deceased, and the solemn admonition it offered to the members of the Bar to make preparations for the future.

On the conclusion of his remarks be invited other gentlemen to speak, among whom were the following, vis: Hon. Charles Andrews, B. Davis Noxon, Esq., Gen. Wm. J. Hough, F. M. King, Esq., and Geo. N. Kennedy.
The remarks of each and all these gentle, men were not only feeling and impressive but revealed a conviction of responsibility to the final Judge rarely elicited from a secular body. They all spoke of the deceased in terms of the highest commendation.

We are unable to report the speeches, but are privileged to givet a sketch of that part of Major King's relating to the professional career of the deceased, and we give these only because they present a more connected history of his career as a lawyer than made by the other speakers.

He said: Judge Middleton was born in Plainfield, Connecticut, on the 31st of May, 1806, and would have been 58 years of age on the 31st day of May next. About the time he attained his majority he entered the law office of Judge Andrew Judson, at Canterbury, in that State, and was admitted to practice at Brooklyn, in Windham county, in 1830, at the age of 24. When he left Connecticut, he went to Newark, in Wayne county, in this state, and commenced the practice of law there to 1835. On the recommendation of the late Wm. L. Marcy, then Governor of this State, he was to practice in our Supreme Court on the production of his certificate from Connecticut, without any other examination. He was elected Judge of Wayne county in 1847, under the new constitution, then but recently adopted, which devolved on him the onerous duties of both Judge and Surrogate, and he held the office for the full term of four years. - When a successor came to be chosen, he was earnestly solicited to take a re-nomination, but refused because the labors were too severe for him. In fact I doubt if he has at any time since 1851 enjoyed the health he had previous to undertaking the duties of Judge and Surrogate in 1847. On retiring from the bench, he resumed the duties of his profession and continued them until he came to this city in 1856, where he formed a partnership with the late D. D. Hillis and our Judge Morgan. With his career since then, we are all familiar. He arrived at conclusions upon questions of law as if by intuition. He was a high-minded and honorable man, a sociable and agreeable companion. His decease has left a void in the profession of this city of which we shall all be sensible. Tomorrow his remains will be gathered in the silent abode of the narrow house. There to slumber until the trump of the Archangel shall call them forth. His sudden death, in the vigor of his manhood, and in the recent exercise of all his intellectual powers, admonishes us all that we too must prepare to die. It is at all times solemn to stand at the door of the tomb . It is for us, especially so when that tomb is opened to receive the mortal remains of our brother. - Let us imitate our brother's virtues and cherish his memory; let us fit ourselves to meet him at that Bar where adjudication's no mortals can escape.

In the IGI film it states that George was born in Ny. But in the 1870 New London census it says CT. He and his family were in Groton when the 1870 census was taken. This must mean that he had some ties to New London. He and
his family were also in the Kings Co. 1870 census, where his occupation was "fish dealer", as was Williams. Parents: John MIDDLETON and Sophia MANDEVILLE.

In the 1850 census of New London Co, CT, there was an eight year old male, Benjamin F. Middleton, living with the Gilberts. He was born in NY. He was probably a child of one of Harriets brothers.

There is a discrepency about Harriet and Horace's wedding date. The LDS IGI states they were married on 2-17-1838 in Old Lyme. The film (002075) of New London vital statistics shows them being married on 8-8-1833.The 1850
New London Census seems to backup the 1833 date because the ages of the children show they were married long before 1838. Parents: Nathanial MIDDLETON and Mary(Polly) ROGERS.

Harriet was found in Wayne Co. census living with her father in 1850, and in the Onanodaga Co. census in 1860 wtill living with her father. Parents: George MIDDLETON and Mary GORDON.
