  Notes for George Bemis:
[History of Newton, p. 769-70]

George Bemis was a native of Watertown, and died at Nice, France. His father was a man of great energy of character, being proprietor of the Bemis factory, North Village, one of the oldest establishments of the kind in Newton. As a lawyer Mr. Bemis attained considerable distinction, and was at one time Solicitor of the Boston and Worcester Railroad. Connected with Attorney-General Clifford in the trial of Webster for the murder of Dr. Parkman, by his untiring industry he brought together a vast array of evidence, greatly contributing to present a convincing case to the jury. He afterwards published a report of the trial in book form, making one of the most remarkable cases of American jurisprudence. As a writer on International law, in connection with our differences with Great Britain, he displayed a thorough knowledge of the subject, and in his affair had very intimate relations with the late Senator Sumner. He was not a politician, and studiously avoided all public position. He was a pupil, in early years, of Mr. Seth Davis, and on the occasion of the ninetieth birthday anniversary of his old Master, sent him a letter of congratulation. Mr. Bemis was about sixty years of age, and was unmarried.

His will contained many public bequests. Among them was a bequest to his sister, Sarah Wheeler Bemis, for her life use, $50,000; also, his pictures and other objects of art; to the President and Fellows of Harvard College the sum of money set apart for the life use of his sister, to be held for the establishment and maintenance of a professorship of international law in the Dane Law School of said University; $5,000 to pay for the compilation and publication of his articles on Public Law and the Alabama claims; to the Department of State of the United States his annotated volumes of American and British Diplomatic Correspondence, including the published documents connected with the Geneva award; to his executors, the sum of $5,000 to be applied toward the completion of the subscription to the Story statue of President Quincy, ordered on behalf of the Alumni of Harvard College; to the Massachusetts Historical Society, all the MSS. and printed material for the preparation of the Webster Trial Reports; to the Boston Atheneum, $20,000 for the purchase of books for the reading room. The will is dated October 23, 1872.
