- Biography and Autobiography
Durham and surrounding counties and represented his clients ably, faithfully and successfully.
April 13, 1904, he married Miss Annie Wall, the only daughter of the Hon. Henry Clay Wall, of Rockingham. His widow survives him, and also their three children, Annie Wall, Frances Leak and Alexander Foushee.
Judge F oushee had been long identified with the social, legal, busi ness and political life of this community. Probably no one ever lived in Durham who counted more friends or who was better liked. His popularity extended to all classes of the citizens. He was a loyal Democrat and rendered his party splendid service. In 1896, when the Republicans were in power in Durham County, the leaders of the Democracy sought a chairman for the executive committee to make the fight during that campaign. After a thorough canvass of the situation, Howard A. Foushee was selected as the fittest man. He was young, popular, patient, tactful and wise. When made chairman he gave this whole time to the campaign, and as a result of his skill, tact and wisdom the democracy carried the county in that campaign, and many people have credited to the work he did at that time, the uniform success of the party since. His ability was so impressed upon his party in 1896 that he was nominated for the Legislature in 1898 by acclamat'ion and was elected. He served in the lower branch of -the General Assembly in 1899. In 1901 he was selected without opposition as the party's candidate for the Senate from the senatorial district composed of Durham, Orange, Alamance and Caswell counties. Four years later when the Senator again came from Durham County he was elected to the Senate of 1905. He was active in the Legislature and many useful statutes were introduced by him. Soon after 1898 he declared publicly in favor of Judge H. G. Connor as speaker of the House and was one of his lieutenants in that contest. His work in the Legislature was useful to the State and satisfactory to his constituents. He was the law partner of Judge Manning from 1893 until 1909. In May, 1909, his partner was appointed to the Supreme Court bench and Mr. W. L. Foushee, who was then practicing law in Richmond, came to Durham to assist Judge Foushee in doing the work of the firm. The firm of Foushee Foushee continued the business until the resignation of Judge Biggs in September, 1911, when Governor Kitchin appointed Judge Foushee as his successor on the superior court bench. In 1912 he was nominated without opposition and {elected by the peopleto fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Biggs. He presided over the courts during two years. While he was not able to hold all of his courts because of sickness.
