Date, length, references and neutrality are fine. QPQ review is done. No copyvio issues revealed by Earwig's tool or Dup detector. The hook is interesting but the source says that he was the first attorney in Lakeview rather than Lake County – could you find another source for the claim or amend the article/hook to say Lakeview instead? 97198 (talk) 13:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Good catch! I've changed the hook to bring it in line with the source. It's interesting to note that when Cogswell open his law practice in 1879, the city of Lakeview hadn't been incorporated yet so his practice was actually in Lake County.--Orygun (talk) 05:56, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that – it looks good to me. 97198 (talk) 08:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
