For seven years on the bench, Justice Edward T. Sanford handed down 130 decisions. Many of which are regarded by historians as of "more than average importance". While the presences of Justices Louis Brandeis and Oliver W. Holmes would dominate public attention and the media, Sanford’s work was highly regarded by the Court. In addition, he continued to be personally active in community service in Tennessee and remained active at his trustee positions.
On March 8, 1930, Knoxville’s only U.S. Supreme Court Justice died suddenly at his home in Washington, D.C. That same day he was followed in death by Chief Justice William Howard Taft.
The ensuing days would be hard ones for Mrs. Sanford and their daughters as they tried to make arrangements for Justice Sanford’s funeral in a city scrambling to make room for the enormous crowds that were expected for Taft’s funeral.
Taft’s death was cause for mourning across the nation and his funeral preparations dominated the headlines of newspapers. While he became the first U.S. President to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery amid the ceremonies justly due a former President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Edward Terry Sanford was, unfortunately, eclipsed in death by Taft and quietly laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery off of Tazewell Pike in Knoxville.
Justice Edward T. Sanford was one of six Tennesseans to serve on the United States Supreme Court. They are as follows:
oJohn Catron – appointed by President Martin Van Buren in 1837.
oHowell Jackson – appointed by President William Henry Harrison.
o Horace Lurton - appointed by President William Howard Taft.
oJames McReynolds – appointed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914.
oEdward T. Sanford – appointed by President Warren G. Harding in 1923.
o Abe Fortas – appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Justice Sanford’s seven-year-career on the U.S. Supreme Court was short compared to many, but his impact was felt for years to come, especially in the court’s efforts to establish the "incorporation doctrine", which simply set forth the principal that the Bill of Rights’ liberties were guaranteed to all citizens and superseded state and, sometimes, federal laws to the contrary.
The "incorporation doctrine", however, would be a source of controversy in succeeding courts and political administrations, who would fight it and the Court’s interpretations for years to come. In the 1980s, the doctrine again gained national attention when then Attorney General Edwin Meese and others criticized the doctrine as inconsistent with the intent of the framers of the Constitution. All the efforts to do away with it, however, have been unsuccessful.
While Sanford’s rulings in favor of the doctrine established the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech and the press as a primary right of every American, he has been much maligned over the years and his quotes in the 1925 Gitlow vs. New York taken out of context to boost various political agendas.
While Edward Jackson Sanford’s stature in Knoxville was one of considerable influence, his New England roots allowed his son certain opportunities that would have otherwise been unavailable to a youth growing up in East Tennessee in that era. Like many families in those days, they were quite large and Edward T. Sanford was only one of ten children raised by the couple. Sanford’s father first came to Knoxville with only the clothes on his back and his tools as a carpenter, but firmly believed in self-education and hard work. He stressed those values on his children as he did those of community service. He was also a major player in the post-WBTS rebuilding of Knoxville and helped establish numerous organizations in the city.
The drug company he helped organize known as Sanford, Chamberlain and Albers served as a vibrant part of Knoxville’s business community for 135 years. Andrew Jackson Albers, who had graduated from a pharmacy school in Cincinnati, OH served as a pharmacist’s mate on the USS Indianola during the War Between The States and was captured after the ship was sunk in the Battle of Vicksburg. Following his release from a Richmond P.O.W. Camp, he returned to Cincinnati and met E.J. Sanford. The three families became quite a force in Knoxville’s post war economy. The company delivered products throughout the region and even had a steamboat at one time to service their clients.
The Drug Company they operated was extremely diversified. Although known for such things as their "three-heart" brands of patent medicine, one of their most noted products in that day was lubricating oil that they sold to the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. In fact, they cut a deal with the company to locate its Lenoir Car Works west of the city so they could keep it supplied with their brand of lubricating oil. It became such a major employer in the region that the homes and small businesses that grew up around it became what we know today as Lenoir City.
In 1926, the name of the company was shortened to Alber’s Drug Company and remained in the hands of the Albers family until 1994 when it was sold to the Walker Drug Company in Birmingham, Ala. Following the sale, most of its records and cabinetry, which was handmade by E.J. Sanford was donated to the East Tennessee Historical Society and the McClung Collection. Museum officials hope to include the cabinetry in its proposed expansion of the facility.
Sanford’s mother, Emma Chavannes Sanford, played a large part in seeing that her son was well educated. She was a first generation descendent of a group of Swiss immigrants who settled in the Buffat Mill Road area of Knox County and other locations. The Swiss immigrants to Knoxville included many who would rise to national prominence. Of special note is the fact that her father Adrain Chavannes was a noted writer and publisher of his day and his Knoxville printing company is recognized as publishing the first Sociological journal in the United States.
A portrait of Edward Sanford was done in 1927 by a local artist and presented to the University of Tennessee Law School, but was later given to Knoxville’s Federal Court where it hung until the courthouse was recently moved. It is now located in the Elks Club in downtown Knoxville, where Sanford was a member.
Sanford quietly slipped from the pages of Tennessee history because of the dominating personalities of his day and the fact that his death was eclipsed by former President William Taft. There is little information about him available, but some U.S. Supreme Court records do give an account of the cases that were before him in his tenure on the bench. His quotes on the Gitlow vs New York case can be found in the book "The World’s Greatest Thoughts", which uses the quote as an example of asserting freedom of speech in a free society.
A brief biography of Sanford’s life can be found locally in the book "The French Broad Holston Country" published by the East Tennessee Historical Society. It is available from the local library and for purchase from the ETHS bookstore. It is one of the best accounts of early life in East Tennessee. Information on him is hard to come by and there are no special markers commemorating his service to Tennessee or the nation.
Special thanks for this story has to go to Bud Albers and Fred Reagan for the information regarding the history of Albers Drug Company in East Tennessee and its founders and also to the United States Supreme Court and their resident historians, who assisted me in gathering facts about Sanford’s decisions on the bench and his tenure with the bench.
He was for many years a litigator in the areas of professional liability, products liability, personal injury, construction, civil rights, business and commercial litigation. His practice began to shift toward the dispute resolution area in the mid to late 1990’s. He is a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 civil mediator and a member of the mediation panel for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. He has mediated over 1850 civil disputes.
