Supreme Court Justice George R. Salisbury of the Fourth Judicial District died at his home in Saratoga Springs, early Friday morning of last week, aged fifty-seven years, following a five days' illness with pneumonia. He was stricken the Saturday previous upon returning from Elizabethtown, where he had been holding court, the disease developing from a cold contracted during the long automobile ride. Judge Salisbury was born at Schuylerville in 1863, getting his early education in the schools of that village. He was graduated from Union College, Schenectady in 1886, after which he returned to Schuylerville and took up the study of law with the late D.S.Potter. He was admitted to the bar in 1886 while in the Hudson Falls office of Charles R. Paris, late judge of the Court of Claims.
In the following year, he returned to Schuylerville and was appointed village attorney, later forming a law partnership with William S. Ostrander, present surrogate of Saratoga county. Before moving to Saratoga Springs in 1903, he served two terms as a member of the board of supervisors of the town of Saratoga. Elected district attorney in 1898, Mr. Salisbury was again chosen in 1902 and serving his fifth year when he resigned to go into partnership with Nash Rockwood at Saratoga Springs. This partnership was disolved after five years, at which time Mr. Salisbury took Franklin A. Rowe of Glens Falls, formerly of Port Henry, as a partner. Alexander F. Walsh of Saratoga Springs later became a member of the firm.
In 1912 he was elected county judge, but continued his law practice until March 1917, when he was appointed to the Supreme Court bench by Governor Whitman, to succeed Justice Chester B. McLaughlin, who was elevated to the Court of Appeals. In the fall of that year, he was nominated by the Republicans as Supreme Court Justice, and elected.
Judge Salisbury, who was a son of Amos M. and Lucinda Welch Salisbury, was twice married, his first wife, formerly Emma Ingalls, dying about 1900. He married Mrs. Jennie Burton in 1902. One child, Mrs. Benjamin M. Rastall, of New York, was born of the first union. Besides his wife and daughter, the survivors are his father, Amos M. Salisbury of Saratoga Springs, a brother, Amos C. Salisbury of Troy, and a sister, Mrs. Jennie Harkness of New York.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon. Justice Salisbury was a member of several Masonic organizations, including Washington Commandery. He also held membership in the Saratoga Lodge of Elks.
