From Der Nord Westen, 15 Nov. 1906:
Another one of our old pioneers is gone. John D. Markham died
Thursday morning last week. Mr. Markham was born 23 April 1828
in Wilmington, Essex County, New York. After studying law he went
west, settling first in Milwaukee. However, he came to Manitowoc
in 1856 and ever since that time has lived here and followed the
practice of law. During the years 1859-1862 he served as District
Attorney of Manitowoc County… He leaves 2 sons and a daughter, as
well as several sisters. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon

JOHN D. MARKHAM (d. 1906) add on
J.D. Markham was born at Wilmington, Essex county, New York, April 23, 1828. He
studied law in the offices of Kellog & Hale, Elizabethtown, New York, and was
admitted to practice July 25, 1855. He came to Manitowoc in the early summer of
1856 and was enrolled in the local bar on motion of E. Fox Cooke September 22
following.
The New York code of practice was adopted in this state the very next month and
this gave him a great advantage over the old common law practitioners. He speedily
built up a very large practice, which extended over a large part of northern
Wisconsin.
He was unquestionable the ablest nisi prius lawyer in this portion of the state
when in his prime. It is not too much to say that for over thirty years he was
the unquestioned leader of the Manitowoc bar.
He was a lawyer before all other things and suffered nothing to interfere with
his professional work. He never sought or held any other office than that of
district attorney, which he held from 1859 to 1863. He died at Manitowoc, November 8,
1906.
This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin"
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.103.
