Rufus Choate, born October 1, 1799 in the old town of Ipswich, MA. He died on July 13, 1859 in Halifax. Few Legal practitioners, who have been so exclusively devoted to their profession, have acquired the popular reputation which followed the man, as it will long attach itself to the memory of Rufus Choate. The bar, even in its more intelligible exhibitions - those likely to interest the sympathies and arouse the admiration of a general audience - has but a limited field for display. Like the "momentary graces" of the actor, much of the success of the advocate blazes and expires on the instant. The spectators in a court room are moved; the judge, perhaps, relaxes his official dignity in the restrained tribute of a smile, or a frown a little less severe; and the jury may melt in a body, victims to the resistless cunning or eloquence of the pleader. But how little of all these triumphant exertions - this acting and applause, the wit, the humor, the skill, the judgment, the readiness of mind - leave the hall with the retiring advocate. At most a general reputation is gained - all important indeed to the man of law, for his success will bring him flocks of clients, trusting their lives and fortunes to his powers, and opening their purses with ever increasing prodigality and alacrity; but how scant is the material for biography in the cash book of the counselor. A few anecdotes of his brilliancy linger awhile among the litigants and his fellow members of the bar; the dashing pleader retires to give place to other expenders of breath in the ceaseless service of injured fortunes and reputations; and all that is left of the bubbling vanity of fame is the label on the empty bottle denoting the costly vintage which once sparkled within. The wine has been poured out, quaffed with enthusiasm, set the table in a roar, and the banquetters have long since taken their departure. Such for the most part, is professional success. If a record is kept by the court reporter, the drier portions of the argument only will be preserved, studiously stripped of their rhetorical ornaments, and though, to members of the profession, there can be no greater mental luxury than the technical intricacies of a protracted legal disputation, such reading, it must be equally admitted, has never been found peculiarly attractive to the public at large. Lawyers, it must be admitted, are indifferent guardians of one another's fame. A volume entitled "Reminiscences of Rufus Choate, the great American Advocate", was written by Edward G. Parker," Mr. Parker was a life long acquaintance of Mr. Choate, enjoying peculiar opportunities of tracing his career. Choate started learning Latin at the age of ten, receiving instruction from a physician who resided in his father's family; and continued his studies during a portion of each year with the parish clergyman or the teachers of the district school, till he reached his 16th year, when after passing a season at the academy in Hampton, NH., he was admitted, in the summer of 1815, to the Freshman class in Dartmouth College. He also attended Dane law school at Cambridge. Choate went to the law office of William Wirt, who was then residing at Washington in the duties of the Attorney general of the United States.

Provincetown Banner obit
Joan Lenore (Christopher) Carver, 75, died Oct. 17, at Tobey Hospital in Wareham.
Born in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Leonard Morton Christopher and Lenore (Osborn) Christopher, Mrs. Carver resided in Glassboro, N.J., from 1938 to 1948, when she moved to Provincetown.
A graduate of Provincetown High School's class of 1951, she was employed as a secretary in the town clerk's and treasurer's office from 1951 to 1954, and then briefly as a secretary for the Chamber of Commerce prior to moving with her husband to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Neb., in 1955. From 1956 to 1975 she resided in Providence, Edgewood and Barrington, R.I., until a career move by her husband took them to Albany, N.Y., and then to Long Branch, N.J., in 1982. The Carvers returned to Rhode Island in June of 2004 before moving to East Wareham in January of 2008.
From 1980 to 1984, Mrs. Carver spent summers working in the office of her brother's Cove Motel in Orleans. Mrs. Carver became an avid fan of the Orleans Cardinals \emdash she laughingly referred to herself as "The Mouth Behind Home Plate."
Mrs. Carver was a member of the Descendants of Whaling Masters of New Bedford and the Society of Mayflower Descendants in Rhode Island under her ancestor John Howland. She was the granddaughter of the late Florence (Damon) and George Osborn of Toledo, Ohio, granddaughter of the late Edith (Dunham) and Harry Christopher and great-granddaughter of the late John A. Dunham, whaling master, known as the "Dean of Whalers" of Provincetown and New Bedford.
Survivors include her husband, Alan D. of East Wareham; a daughter, Cynthia Lenore Howarth, of Hooksett, N.H.; a brother, Richard G. Christopher, of East Wareham; a grandson, Kyle Carver Steere, of Hooksett, N.H.; nieces J. Christopher Sekely, of Houston, Texas, and Kelly R. Ford, of Jeffersonville, Vt.; nephew Dean C. Christopher, of Tampa, Fla.; and sister-in-law LaVerne E. Christopher, of East Orleans. Also great-niece Kendall Routh and great-nephews Sawyer and Cameron Ford, of Jeffersonville, Vt., and Andrew Rayner and W. Evan Sekely, of Houston, Texas.
Calling hours will be from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26, at Chapman, Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, 2599 Cranberry Highway, Wareham. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to The Orleans Cardinals, P.O.
