Century Memorial
Lewis Livingston Delafield. [Born] 1863. Lawyer. For 50 years a leading estate counsel at the New York Bar; expert in setting up charitable trusts; adviser to charitable and educational institutions; active in civic reform and the Association of the Bar; hater of shams, impatient toward lesser breeds, his dignity and poise made him appear cold and aloof, though, as his friends knew, he was neither.
Geoffrey Parsons, Secretary
Annual Meeting Necrology, 11 January 1945
