WALTER FORWARD,
a frequent practitioner in Beaver, was one of the most talented
of this early group of lawyers; a man massive in body and
intellect. He came from Somerset County, to Pittsburg,
where most of his laurels were won. He was admitted to the
bar of this county, April 9, 1821. We cannot repeat the
full tale of his honors: He was a member of Congress from
Allegheny County, Secretary of the United States Treasury,
Minister to Denmark, and President Judge of Allegheny County.
He died Nov. 24, 1852. It is an unsupported tradition that
he was at one time a student at Grersburg (Darlington) Academy,
in this county.
