McCULLOCH HON. DAVID), Judge of Circuit Court, Peoria, was born in Cumberland Co., Penn .. Jan. 25. 1832 Received collegiate education at Marshall College, Pa., graduating in the class of 1852. Came to Illinois in April, 1853. Taught school in Peoria until early in 1855, when he commenced the study of the law with Manning & Merriman, and was admit- ted to practice in the following year. In Nov. 1855. he was elected school commissioner of Peoria Co. Was twice re-elected and continued to hold the office until 1861. During this period the new free school system of Illinois went into operation, and the duty devolved upon him of giving it a good send-off in Peoria Co. In Sept. 1860, having remained in the office of Manning & Merriman until then, he opened an office of his own, but in less than a year, upon the accession of Merriman's elevation to the bench, he was taken into partnership with Hon. Julius Manning, which lasted until Man- ning's death, July 4, 1864. He then formed a co- partnership with the late Charles P. Taggart, which continued until 1869, when the firm was dissolved by the failing health of Taggart, who then went to Cali- fornia. During the continuance of this firm, and especially the last two years, on account of Taggart's ill-health the duties of the office of State's attorney. which office Mr. T. held, largely devolved upon Mc- Culloch. After a partnership of short duration with J. M. Rice, Esq., Mr. McCulloch formed a partnership with John S. Stevens, which continued until the ap- pointment of the latter as post master in 1876. This was the most prosperous period of his practice. Dur- ing his term as school commissioner many of his sug- gestions made to the State Superintendents were adopt- ed by them and afterwards embodied in amendments to the school systemt. Some amendments were drawn by himself and are still part of that law. As early as 1876, from the over crowded condition of the courts, especially of the Supreme Court, it was found that legislation was imperatively demanded to increase the judicial force of the State. An Appellate Court was provided for by the constitution, to be composed of judges of the Circuit Court. But there were no judges to spare for that service. The courts were in perplex- ity and lawyers at their wit's end. In view of this state of affairs Mr. McCulloch addressed a communication to the Legal News of Chicago, proposing a remedy which seemed to him feasible. This letter was pub-

lished Oct. 14. 1876, and in the same number was one from Stephen R. Moore, of Kankakee, proposing the formation of a State Bar Association. These proposals took hold of the minds of the lawyers throughout the State, and elicited free discussion in the public prints. A State Bar Association was formed in Springfield in Jan. 1877, and that body immediately took steps for the reformation of the judicial system, the legislature than being in session. A committee of which Judge Puterbaugh and Judge Thornton and McCulloch were members, was appointed to draft the necessary bills ; the work largely devolving upon Puterbaugh and Mc- Culloch. The result was that their bills in their main features became laws; thirteen new judgeships were created, and the Appellate Courts organized, all in accordance with the plan suggested in Mr. McCulloch's letter to the Legal News. The result has been most satisfactory. The first election under this act took place Aug. 6, 1877. when Judge McCulloch was elected by a handsome majority. In June, 1879. he was re- elected by a still larger vote. As soon as the result of the election was known he was, by the Supreme Court, assigned as one of the appellate judges of the Third Appellate Court District, which position he now occupies.

At the last annual meeting of the State Bar Asso- sociation he was chosen its president for this year. Judge McCulloch possesses one of the finest legal minds of the State, and discharges the functions of his office with signal ability.

For about two years he continued it, and after spending a Winter in Beardstown, moved in the next Spring to Henry, Marshall county, Ill., where he started a store and afterwards engaged in the pack- ing and shipping of pork for about eight years. While there he filled the offices of city clerk for two years and that of alderman for one year, resigning the office in 1869, when he sold out his business and came to Peo- ria, where he has since resided. Ile has carried on business in his present line most of the time since. He married Feb. 9, 1843, in McDonough county, Ill., Miss Eliza Ann Smith, born June 5, 1826, near Springfield, Ill., by whom he has had six children : Susannah P., Mary L., Frances L., Harriet M., Clara S. and Edgar A.
