A. Leo Everett

Although for nearly thirty years a practicing lawyer at New York, A. Leo Everett was born and educated abroad, and spent abroad the years of his professional retirement. By inheritance, however, he was a good American. His grandsire was the Harvard president, Massachusetts governor, United States Senator and Secretary of State, Edward Everett. His father was Secretary of our legation at Berlin and chargé at London. The son was sent to Charter House School, then to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his degree. In 1892 he entered Harvard Law School and promptly entered the New York bar. Everett was a well-trained lawyer, with a keen mind and high intellectual interests; widely read, an associate whose company and conversation were a delight.
