Francis Kernan
Lawyer, statesman; born in SteubenCounty, New York, 14 January, 1816;
d. at Utica , New York , 7 September, 1892; son of General William
Kernan, who came to America from County Cavan, Ireland , in 1800, and
of Rose Anna Stubbs,his wife. He attended Georgetown College , D.C. ,
from 1833 to 1836, studied law in Utica , N.Y., inthe office of Joshua
A. Spencer, and later became his partner. He won fame as an advocate
of ability, especially in legal conflict with suchleaders of the bar
as Denio, Jenkins, Beardsley , Doolittle , Hunt,and Conkling. His rank
in his profession was well summed up by Judge Martin Grover , as being
without a superior as an all-round lawyer at the bar of New York
State.In dress, manner, decision, learning, and unassuming dignity of
bearing and geniality, he was a rare type of the best of the old
school oflawyers.
Kernan's political services to his country covered a wide range. He
was school commissioner of Utica , manager of the New York State
Hospital , official reporter of the Court of Appeals from 1854 to
1857, member of the ConstitutionalConvention of 1867, regent of the
University of the State of New York from 1870 to his death, member
ofAssembly from 1860 to 1862, member of the House of Representatives
from 1863 to 1865, United States Senator from 1876 to 1882. In all
these positions he was conspicuous for ability, fidelity to his
convictions, zeal in their advocacy, and fairness as a partisan. As a
rule, he spoke extemporaneously, with clearness, vigour, and feeling,
and to the point; his speeches were models of clear and convincing
statement and analysis . He numbered among his friends Abraham Lincoln
, Horatio Seymour, Samuel J. Tilden , Thomas F. Bayard , Grover
Cleveland , and other distinguished Americans , and his counsel and
advice were often sought by them. Both as a member of the New York
Assembly and as a congressman, he was a "War Democrat". In the
disastrous Democratic campaign of 1872, he was a candidate for
governor against John A. Dix . He was a devout and practical Catholic
, frequently assisting at Mass and approaching the sacraments . He
represented Georgetown College at the Catholic Congress of laymen at
Baltimore in 1889, and delivered a memorable address on that occasion.
In charity he gave much, considering his means, as he was never a very
wealthy man , to his church and to charitable institutions ; and his
legal advice was often freely given to the clergy and to his Alma
Mater , Georgetown College , which bestowed upon him the degree of
Doctor of Laws .
Kernan's home life was very happy . In 1843 he married Hannah daughter
of Nicholas Devereux subsistence of widows For their protection, there
was a prohibition against taking their garments in pawn beforehand
from those beasts in the shape of men dangerous errors with respect
to the grace of Christ salutary acts granted in consideration of the
merits of Christ charitable institutions in Central and Western New
York . His old age was calm, genial, peaceful, and contented. Heserved
his country and his Church tothe best of his ability and was a shining
example of what a Catholic lawyer and statesman should be.
