Waukesha, Wis., Jan. 20. - V. H. Tichenor, one of the oldest settlers o Waukesha died at his home on East avenue, last night, after an illness of a little over a week, of pneumonia. He was one of the oldest members of the Waukesha county bar. He had practiced at this village since his arrival here in 1839, after being admitted to the bar in 1838 at Albany, N. Y. He had studied law previous to this at his father's home in Amsterdam, after he was graduated from Union college in 1835. In 1838, the year before he came to Waukesha, he was married to Miss Charlotte Sears. They came to Waukesha, where Mr. Tichenor began his long practice, where his integrity and business ability gained him one of the largest and most lucrative practices in the town. Mr. Tichenor was the first lawyer in the county, and the first town clerk in Waukesha when the town was organized, and held that position for many years. Since the year 1855 he had always held the position of court commissioner at this village. He also held the position of justice of the peace a great many years in the early history of the county and was draft commissioner in 1862 under the war department of the United States government. He was three times president of the village of Waukesha and had been clerk, treasurer trustee of the village and member of the school board as clerk and trustee. He was also member of the assembly for one term.

When Mr. Tichenor came to Waukesha he lived with his father on the farm now owned by Orson Tichenor and commenced his long law practice in the little office which stood where Gaspar & La Clair's hardware store now stands. He leaves two children, Miss Mary Tichenor, of Waukesha, and Mr. Willis Tichenor, of Milwaukee. A son of Mr. Willis Tichenor, Vernon Tichenor, Jr., who has been practicing law with his grandfather since his graduation from the Madison law school, last year, will probably carry on his grandfather's extensive practice. A meeting of the Waukesha bar will be held this afternoon at the office of Alex. Cook, who has practiced in Waukesha since 1845, and is the oldest living member of the Waukesha bar. Resolutions will be passed and a member of the bar appointed to announce the death of their lamented member at the next meeting of court. Miss Mary Tichenor is very ill.

A meeting of lawyers was held this afternoon in Judge Griswold's office and a committee appointed to draft resolutions of condolence of Vernon Tichenor. Alex. Cook was appointed chairman of the meeting. It was decided that the members of the Waukesha county bar attend the funeral in a body and that a badge of mourning be worn for thirty days; that a portrait of deceased by hung in the courtroom, at the opening of court on Feb. 2, and that the judge's bench be draped in mourning. The first day of court will be set aside as a day of mourning, when memorial addresses will be read. Judge M. S. Griswold, Alex. Cook and Judge Carney were appointed pall-bearers.
