Note: VI. Hermanus Alricks ,6 (James ,5 Hermanus ,4 Wessels ,3 Pieter ,2 Pieter ,1) b. August 22, 1803 , at Oakland Mills, Lost Creek Valley , now Juniata county, Penn'a ; d. January 28, 1874 , at Harrisburg, Penn'a . His father removed to Harrisburg in 1814, and there the son grew to man's estate, thereafter one of the most respected citizens, receiving his education in the Harrisburg Academy. He read law in the office of Thomas Elder, Esq. , and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar. He quickly obtained a lucrative business before the courts, became one of the prominent men at the bar, and at his death the oldest practitioner in Dauphin county . He was averse to holding office. The only one of prominence held by him was that of deputy attorney-general in 1829 . He frequently served his fellow-citizens in municipal office, was a popular man with them, and his counsel sought upon all questions of importance. In addressing a jury, his manner was quiet, his statement clearly presented, and argument logical. His rule was to undertake no cause unless his client was able to demonstrate the justness of his case. His early training in the practice of the orphans' and register's courts soon gave him a lucrative business in that branch of his profession, where clear, concise expositions are of far more weight than the stirring eloquence of the quarter sessions. He was an excellent, precise, real-estate lawyer. No one was a better reference upon questions of town or county history. His personal acquaintance was extensive, and his taste ran in acquiring the family traditions of the earliest settlers. His fund of information was at the service of his friends, always pleasantly and accurately retold, with the authority for each fact or anecdote, and he abounded with many curious and fascinating ones. His presence was imposing, quite six feet in stature, large frame, erect, and neatly clad, quite "like a lawyer of the olden time." Mr. Alricks m., in 1831 , Mary Elder Kerr , b. May 5, 1809 ; d. March 30, 1857 , at Harrisburg ; daughter of Rev. William Kerr ,* of Donegal , and his wife, Mary Wilson . They had issue:
