iKnhvr1 3. Zlllgfilllillll i ,T1qU1ilili'l' .I. INCRAHAM, horn in Coshocton, Ohio, on the 24th day 3 of January, 1864, departed this life on the 23rd day of March, 1919, at his residence on Warwick Boulevard in this city. ' His parents were Dr. James B. lngraham and Sarah Elizabeth Guthrie lngraham, and the admiration of the son for the sterling character of his father, the leading surgeon of Coshocton, and his love and respect for his mother bespoke the fact to his more intimate friends, with whom he fre- quently talked on this favorite subject. that the high and noble qualities which inspired the life of Robert J. Ingraham, and so closely bound him to a multitude of friends, had their origin at birth and were carefully nurtured in the family home. ln the highest and best sense his life was a success. Not perhaps in the accumulation of money, for this was always an incident merely, and never an incentive in the practice of the profession which he loved so and honored. He was never tempted by the allurements of office or the pride of placeg but when occasion called upon him to serve his city or his state he cheerfully sacrificed his time and devoted his talents to the task. As City Counselor he continued to strive in an official, as he had always done in a private capacity, for the welfare and progress of Kansas Cityg and in the discharge of the duties of that oflice he had the entire confidence of the community and soon established for himself a reputation with the Bar and public generally an expert in Municipal Law--a branch of his profession which seemed peculiarly attractive to him. He was one of the organizers of the Kansas City School of Law. He gave freely of his time, and by his counsel and advice was one of the main factors in building up the school. He delivered the first year a course of lectures on Criminal Law, and for many years was the lecturer upon the subject of Torts, and during the latter years of his life he lectured upon Public Corporations. Mr. Ingraham left surviving him a wife and two children, Margaret and Robert J. Ingraham, Jr. Every duty and obligation of life he resolutely met and fully dischargedg tender and affectionate in his homeg generous to his friendsg loyal to his clients and devoted to their serviceg a public-spirited citizen and patriot. The writer of this brief and inadequate memorial finds in one of his favorite books this passage marked by Mr. 1ngraham's hand. To love something more than one's self--that is the secret of all that is great: to know how to live for others - that is the goal of every noble aspiration. This precept hy which he lived may now well be his epitaph. JosEPH A. GUTHIIIE.
