About Keogh, Burkhart & Vetter, P.C

In the fall of 1895, John Keogh, a graduate of Norwalk's public schools with no college education, left behind his job as a drummer on the Fall River steamship line and enrolled in the Yale Law School. Upon graduation in 1897, he entered the practice of law, opening an office on Washington Street in South Norwalk. The Norwalk City Directory that year listed his occupation as "lawyer, cigars, etc."
In 1908 Attorney Keogh was joined in practice by his law school classmate, Nehemiah Candee, forming the firm of Keogh and Candee. Both of them were active in public life, with Attorney Keogh serving as Corporation Counsel of the City of South Norwalk, Referee in Bankruptcy for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and a member of the 1913 Consolidation Commission that created the modern City of Norwalk.

?Judge Candee, for his part, served as a City Court Judge in Norwalk, and a member of both the Connecticut State Senate and General Assembly. While in Hartford, in 1921, he was named, by Special Act of the Legislature, as one of the founding members of the newly-incorporated Bald Head Club of America. In 1931, he was nominated by President Hoover to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands, though he never served in that position.
