Reuel Washburn was born in Raynham, Massachusetts on May 21, 1793, graduated from Brown University in 1814, studies law with Honorable Albion K. Parris at Paris, Maine, was admitted to the bar in 1818, and in that year commenced the practice of his profession in Livermore, Maine.
Mr. Washburn had held the offices of Representative and Senator in the Maine Legislature, of Executive Councilor of Register and Judge Probate, and was in 1828 elected to Congress, but by counting five votes which were contained on only two ballots, and were manifestly intended for State Senators against him, he lost his seat. Mr. Washburn was a prominent mason, and a past Grand Master of the Maine Grand Lodge.
Judge Washburn enjoyed the confidence and respect of the entire community in which he lived. He had probably drawn more wills, settled more estates, and acted as referee in more cases than any man in his country, or, perhaps in the State of Maine. He attended the annual town meeting in Livermore, Maine on the 4th of March and had just taken his seat after making a short speech, when he fell from his chair and instantly expired.
