    (5606c) JAMES HARVEY OLMSTED, Stamford, Conn. b. Nov. 24 1830; m. Oct. 2, 1854, Adelaide F. Meeker; b. July 7, 1837; dau. of (Col.) Lorenzo and Mary (Adams) Meeker, of New York City.

    Mr. Olmsted came to Stamford in the fall of 1851 from Ridgefield, his native place, and studied law for three years with ex-Gov. Chas. Hawley. Being admitted to the Bar in 1854, he at once stepped into a large practice. Mr. Olmsted's political career began when he entered the legal profession, and he has taken the stump in every campaign since before the war. As a member of the Democratic State Committee he was noted as an organizer, and he was regularly a delegate to State and other conventions until he was appointed District Attorney by the Superior and Supreme Court judges. Notwithstanding his political activity, Mr. Olmsted has never consented to run for office except as the Democratic candidate for the Legislature, where he sat in 1871. Judge of Probate Court, 1854-1859.
