Biography

Born in Middletown Point on January 5, 1831[1][2] (now Matawan), Bedle was an attorney by profession. He married Altha Fitz Randolph (c. 1830–1926).[3] They had a son, Joseph Dorsett Bedle, Jr. (1876–1942).[4]

He served as a delegate to 1864 Democratic National Convention. In 1865, Governor Joel Parker appointed Bedle as an associate justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, where he served until 1875. Bedle was elected Governor of New Jersey, and served a single term, from 1875–1878. Bedle died at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City on October 21, 1894 from complications from surgery.[5] He was buried at Maplewood Cemetery in Freehold Township.[6]
