Description
Excerpt from History of Northampton County, Pennsylvania and the Grand Valley of the Lehigh, Vol. 3
Gen. William E. Doster - At eighty-two years of age and still practicing law, president of the Lehigh Valley National Bank of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and until recently a familiar figure on his high mettled horse, taking his daily horseback ride, General Doster could claim at least to be something out of the ordinary, if not an extraordinary man, as his friends will rightfully insist. He was a veteran lawyer and a veteran soldier, an author, financier, journalist and business man. His position as a lawyer was among the leaders learned in the law, and he was forceful, eloquent and very skillful in presentation. Pennsylvania Reports teem with cases which he has successfully fought through the higher courts; although not all his legal battles were winning ones, his fame as an attorney often attracted retainers from the losing side of the controversy. He was of a family long and promi nently identified with Bethlehem, tracing to Dr. Daniel Doster, the founder of the family, who landed in Philadelphia more than a century ago.
