From Women’s
Legal History Website
From “Women Lawyers’
Male-Connectedness,” by Mary Erickson, Stanford, 1988:
Headline is "His Wife a
Lawyer." Article never gives her name! "Mr. Henry S. Alvord, of
Vineland [New Jersey], who has been practicing at the bar of this State some
seventeen years, has now the unique reputation of being the first lawyer in New
Jersey to have his wife associated with him in the practice of law. Mrs. Alvord
married two or three years ago the daughter of Dr. Charles Brewer, resident
physician of the New Jersey State prison, and this lady, who is the sixth woman
to be admitted as a lawyer in this State, will now have her name upon the
shingle [but not in this article!] in front of Mr. Alvord's office, the firm
presumably being Alvord & Alvord. We tender to Mr. Alvord our heartiest
congratulations. We always believed him to be not only a bright fellow, but one
possessed of an unusual amount of good, square, common sense; and his forecast
in taking unto himself a helpmeet in business only verifies our judgment of
him."
