Paul Revere

Paul Revere (September 28, 1856 – November 10, 1901) was a lawyer, writer, public speaker, and civic member of Morristown, New Jersey. He was the great-grandson of American revolutionary figure Paul Revere, and his father was Navy officer and Union general Joseph Warren Revere.

In 1891, Revere became the founding chairman and president of the All Soul's Hospital Association, a Catholic hospital chain. Revere's other memberships included the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; Washington Association of New Jersey; the Aztec Club of 1847's hereditary society; and the New York branch of a Reform Club. He served as president of the Morris County Golf Club, and Morris County Gun Club. Only Paul and Augustus survived to adulthood. Revere's great grandfather was Paul Revere, for whom he was named.

Revere studied at a Morristown private classical school. Afterwards, he studied at Harvard Law in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Career In his youth, he read law in the office of Hon. Staats S. Morris of Newark (possibly a descendant of Staats L. Morris). He performed the same work at former New Jersey governor Joseph D. Bedle's Jersey City law office.

By 1885, he pursued other business interests and "put aside the law." Paul Revere converted to Catholicism as a "young man,"

In 1891, Revere became the founding chairman and president of the All Souls' Hospital Association, The hospital's goal was to "care [for] the diseased, disabled, and infirm, and [other such] charitable work." It is possible that "Ascension" was a typo for "Assumption;" the church would likely have been Morristown's Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the church Revere's family attended and for which his father had created a painting.
