MICHAEL J. CANNON
Originally published in 1900 |
MICHAEL J. CANNON has been a life-long resident of Hoboken, N. J.,
where he was born February 20, 1865, the son of John Cannon and Winifred
Nolan, both of whom have lived in Hoboken for the past fifty years. He
acquired a good education in the public schools of his native city, and after
graduating from the high school learned the trade of printer in New York,
which he followed successfully for several years. Deciding to adopt the
legal profession, he entered a law office in New York City as a student, and
subsequently served a clerkship in the law office of Hon. William S. Stuhr,
of Hoboken.
Mr. Cannon was admitted to the New Jersey bar at the February term of the Supreme Court in 1896, as an attorney, and at once commenced the practice of law in Hoboken, opening an office at No. 40 Newark Street. Since then he has built up a large and successful business. As a court and office lawyer he has displayed marked ability, broad and comprehensive learning, and sound legal qualifications, and the many important cases which have been intrusted to his care attest the confidence and respect in which he is held by the community. He has also taken an active interest in public affairs. In April, 1892, he was elected a School Trustee from the Fourth Ward of Hoboken, and served as such for three years. He was married on the 20th of June, 1895, to Mary A. V. Code.
