Levin Thomas Handy Irving

Levin Thomas Handy Irving (April 8, 1828 – August 24, 1892)[1] was a justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals from 1879 until his death in 1892.

[2] Born in Somerset County, Maryland, Irving graduated with distinction from Princeton University at the age of 18, and then read law with his uncle, William W. Handy, of Somerset, to gain admission to the bar in 1849.

In November 1880, he was elected without opposition to that position for a term of fifteen years.

[1] Irving died at his home at the age of 64, having been overcome by the heat while on his way to Cambridge two weeks before, and never recovered.
