Century Memorial

Henry Warner Calhoun, born in New York City in 1862, was graduated from Yale University in 1883, and Columbia University Law School in 1885. He was for some years a partner with Butler, Stillman, & Hubbard, and in the successor firm of Butler, Notman, Joline, & Mynderse, but was obliged to give up practice on account of ill health in 1899. As a lawyer he was careful and competent, engaged chiefly in matters pertaining to railway and other corporations. He was highly esteemed by lawyers and judges all over the country, having occasion to transact business in most of the States of the Union. Personally he was a man of unusually attractive qualities, of high character, and was an especial favorite with his associates of Yale University. A modest and cultivated gentleman, he had the affection of all with whom he became acquainted.
