Strangers to Us All
Lawyers and Poetry

Wilmer W. MacElree

(1859-1960)
Pennsylvania

Ian Brabner, a Wilmington, Delaware, antiquarian book dealer identifies Wilmer W. MacElree as a "lawyer and poet." We know little more, except that he served as district attorney of Chester County, and practiced law in West Chester until he was 93. He died on January 16, 1960.
