Brief Biography

The son to Grover Cleveland's Secretary of War, William Endicott, Jr. followed very much in his father's path. He similarly graduated from Harvard in 1883. When the family moved to Washington, William acted as his father's personal secretary. He established law practices in both Massachusetts and Washington before taking a position as Richard Olney's (then Attorney General) secretary. The end of the Cleveland administration his father's death in 1900 had a profound impact on William. The second-half of his life was spent in Massachusetts as a public activist and social reformer.
