Enoch L. Fancher

Fancher also served as a Justice for the New York Supreme Court and worked briefly as a lawyer for Edgar Allan Poe.

[3] After coming of age, he briefly trained to be a minister, but instead chose to study law at Wesleyan College[1] where he earned an LL.

This suit was commenced after he had grossly abused us in a Philadelphia paper in one of the most scurrilous articles that we ever saw in print; and all this, too, after we had been paying him for some months a salary of $15 a week for assisting Morris and Willis, and two or three other ‘able bodied men,’ in the Herculean task of editing the Evening Mirror.” [6] Shortly before Mary's death in 1875, Fancher was appointed Judge of the New York State Supreme Court by Governor John T. Hoffman,[3] to fill a vacancy left by the impeachment of George G.

[4] Governor John Alden Dix appointed Fancher arbitrator of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York after he successfully settled disputes between city merchants.

[1][3] In 1876, Fancher joined several Methodist commissioners who met at Cape May to discuss healing the church after the Civil War.
