William C. Endicott, Jr. was born in Salem on 28 September 1860, the son of William C. and Ellen P. Endicott. He graduated from Harvard University in 1883 and attended Harvard Law School before beginning his own practice. In 1886 he accompanied his family to Washington, where he served as his father's private secretary.
