Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography
William C. Moreland
Lawyer, Soldier,
Useful Citizen
The bar of
Pittsburgh, distinguished from the
beginning, has grown in lustre with the passing years and in patriotism has
been excelled by no other bar in the United States, giving to the north, during
the Civil War, such champions of the Union as the late Major William C. MORELAND,
at one time Judge Advocate General of the Western Division of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania. Major MORELAND
excelled in all the accomplishments that make for the best in jurisprudence,
practice and culture and in all the elements that enter into the qualification
of the modern pleader and attorney.
John Dent Grant MORELAND,
father of William C. MORELAND, was a
representative of a prominent Virginia family and about 1840 came from his
native state to Pennsylvania, settling in Bayardstown, now
the Tenth ward of Pittsburgh. Mr. MORELAND
was for a time connected with the Allegheny Arsenal and achieved prominence bit
only in religious work, but in politics. Always a steadfast Democrat, he served
two terms as alderman of his ward, and was at other times a candidate for city
treasurer and the legislature. He married Rachael,
daughter of William D. MOORE,
and their children were: John W.; William C.,
mentioned below; Theodore; Charles E.; Henry J.; and Albert S. He was a
man of sterling character and remarkable energy and transmitted to his sons
much of his enterprise and ambition.
William C., son of John Dent Grant and Rachael
(MOORE) MORELAND, was born August 28, 1836, at Old Point Comfort, Virginia,
and was four years old when his parents moved to Pittsburgh. At the age of
thirteen he became a messenger for the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph
Company, the predecessor of the present Western Union, and among his associate
messengers were Andrew CARNEGIE, David MCCARGO, Colonel Thomas A. SCOTT and Robert PITCAIRN.
The first of these achieved greatness as the monarch of the steel world and the
others all became prominent in business. Advancing step by step, Mr. MORELAND became in time a telegraph
operator, and after remaining for a short time with the Western Union Telegraph
Company, then in its infancy, entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, serving at Altoona, at Conemaugh and at Parkersburg, Chester County. While working at the
last-named place he took part in public debate, his opponent being a well-known
politician. Notwithstanding the fact that he represented the weaker side, Mr. MORELAND handled his arguments with so
much eloquence and ability that he was pronounced the victor. A congressman who
was in the audience was so deeply impressed with the extraordinary capability
manifested by the young man that he persuaded him to study for the legal
profession, and with this end in view Mr. MORELAND
entered the office of General J. Bowman
SWEITZER.
In 1861 he was admitted to the bar. There his advancement was steady and rapid
owing to fact that he possessed that judicial instinct which makes its way
quickly through immaterial details to the essential points upon which the
determination of a cause must turn and that in argument he was exceptionally
logical , forcible and clear. These qualifications, combined with thorough and
complete equipment and absolute and unremitting devotion to duty, soon placed
him in the front rank of his profession.
Seven years
after his admission to the bar, Mr. MORELAND
was a candidate for the office of district attorney, sustaining defeat by but
one vote, his opponent being General A.L.
PEARSON.
Some years later, when General PEARSON
was made commander of the Western Division of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, Mr. MORELAND became
Judge Advocate with the title of major.
By birth
and training Major MORELAND was a
Democrat, but by nature he was superior to partisanship, and when, in 1860, Abraham LINCOLN was nominated for the
presidency he had no more staunch supporter in Pittsburgh than this noble Virginia. Major MORELAND spoke in his behalf in the old city hall, and so impressed
the late John H. HAMPTON that the latter solicited a
partnership. Later Major MORELAND
became a member of the well-known firm of MOORE, MORELAND & KERR.
Throughout the Civil War, Major MORELAND
pleaded earnestly for the Union cause, giving timely and effective aid to the
administration. In 1863 he became a campaign speaker for Andrew J. CURTIN,
Pennsylvania's distinguished war governor, rendering inestimable service.
Possessing much of the magnetic force of the orator he was a tower of strength
to the cause he espoused and a power to be reckoned with by his adversaries.
Brilliant, stalwart and of wide and ripe experience, Major MORELAND was consulted on all matters and questions of public
movement and as a vigilant and attentive observer of men and measures holding
sound opinions and taking liberal views his ideas carried weight among those
with whom he discussed public problems. In all things relative to the welfare
of his home city he manifested a deep and lively interest and wherever
substantial aid would further public progress it was freely given. Widely but
unostentatiously charitable, no good work done in the name of philanthropy or
religion sought his cooperation in vain.
In 1881
Major MORELAND succeeded Thomas S. BIGELOW as city solicitor, and Pittsburgh
owes to him her present street laws, former legislation having been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court. For fourteen years he filled this
important and responsible office in a manner highly creditable to himself and
satisfactory to all good citizens. For one term he represented the Fifth ward
in the common council. His public spirit and rapidity of judgment enabled him,
despite other strenuous and engrossing demands upon this time, to give to the
affairs of the community effort and counsel of genuine value, and his
penetrating thought often added wisdom to public movements. Personally Major MORELAND was a man who drew men to him.
A genial, kindly, warm-hearted man his intellect was luminous and vigorous. He
regarded law as a science the most intricate problems of which it was his
delight to master and unravel. His conversation, replete with information, was
enlivened by a ready wit, always restrained, however, by a never-failing
consideration for the feelings of others. His countenance was expressive of the
sterling qualities on manhood and the sunny disposition which accounted for his
having few enemies and numberless friends. He was a courageous man and a true
gentleman.
Major MORELAND married, July 2, 1863, Margaret S., daughter of Thomas and Margaret (PRIMROSE) LITTLE,
the former a member of the firm of LITTLE,
BAIRD & PATTON, wholesale
grocers. By his marriage Major MORELAND
became connected with many prominent families of Pittsburgh. Major and Mrs. MORELAND became
the parents of two daughters: Caroline
Hampton and Anna Lillian, who
married, respectively George Scott
ABRAHAM and Edgar M. BALSINGER. Major MORELAND was devoted in his family
relations and it is perhaps true that the richest and most beautiful traits of
his character were those strong domestic affections which impelled him to see
his highest happiness in the home circle. Mrs. MORELAND died August 3, 1901. The daughters, Mrs. ABRAHAM and Mrs. BALSINGER, are prominent in church circles and charitable
enterprises, and potent factors in Pittsburgh society.
The death
of Major MORELAND, which occurred
May 2, 1901, deprived Pittsburgh of one who had for many years presented to the
community an example of every public and private virtue. Sincere and true in
his friendships, honorable and generous no less than able in his profession, of
stainless record as a public official, he irradiated the ever-widening circle
of his influence with the brightness of spirit that expressed the pure gold of
character. Loyalty constituted an essential part of Major MORELAND's nature. He was loyal to his home city, maintaining the
prestige of her bar and ever laboring to promote her best interests; loyal to
his adopted state of Pennsylvania to whom, in the hour of her need, he
consecrated his rare gift of eloquence; loyal to the noblest traditions of his
native state of Virginia; but, above all, loyal to his country, ever saying in
word and deed, "I am a Virginian, I am a Pennsylvanian, but first, last
and always, I am an American." His loyalty transcended all sectional
limitationsit was national. He loved the
Union and nobly did he labor for the preservation of its integrity, for the
establishment, on a sure foundation, of an undivided people. In the largest
sense this man was a patriot.

History of Maries County, Missouri
La Fayette MURRY is a farmer of Johnson
Township, Maries Co., Mo., and was born in Monroe County, Tenn., in 1834. His
parents were Thomas and Nancy (NOBLETT)
MURRY;
the former was of Irish parentage, was a shoemaker by trade, and followed
flatboating to New Orleans. In 1839 he made a trip to
New Orleans, and was to meet his family (who was to come to Missouri with Mrs. MURRY's father, William NOBLETT)
at St. Louis. The family afterward
concluded to cross the river at Cape Girardeau, and came to what is now
Maries County. Not finding his family at St. Louis, Mr. MURRY wrote back to his friends in Tennessee to learn their
whereabouts, but before he received sufficient information, as was learned some
years after, he is supposed to have met his death on the American Bottoms, in
Illinois. The mother died about 1843. La Fayette and one sister were the only
children, of whom the former was the elder. He received a limited common-school
education, and, upon the death of his mother, was bound to Andrew MORELAND,
an uncle, with whom he lived until twenty-one. He was then employed in hauling
iron from the Meramec Iron Works for several years. In 1858 he married Permelia, daughter of William and Nancy HARRISON,
early settlers of Maries County, Mo., where they still live. Six children have
been born to Mr. and Mrs. MURRY,
three of whom are living. Since his marriage, Mr. MURRY has resided in Johnson Township with the exception of one
year spent in Jefferson Township. He owns 120 acres of land, nearly all of
which is under cultivation, and for the past fifteen years he has also been
engaged in the saw-mill and thrashing business. During the late war he served
over four months in Company I, Thirty-second Missouri Infantry, and was
discharged in December, 1862, on account of disability. He is a Democrat in
politics, and is a member of St. James Post, G.A.R. Mrs. MURRY has been a member of the Baptist Church for many years; she
is a native of Maries County.
