THE
SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
( CONTINUED.)
cDONALD, JOSEPH EWING, was born in Butler County, Ohio, on the 29th of August, 1819. His father, John McDonald, was of Scotch extraction, a native of Pennsylvania, and by occupation a farmer. He was a man of sterling worth, determined, industrious, and self-sacrificing. He died when the subject of this sketch was still in in- fancy, thus depriving him of his main support and counsel, and casting on him for the future many bur- dens and responsibilities. His mother, Eleanor (Piatt) McDonald, was a Pennsylvanian. Her ancestors were French Huguenots, who located first in New Jersey and afterwards settled permanently in Ohio. She was a woman of a superior order of intellect, her standards all high, her influence always elevating. Her highest am- bition was a mother's-to educate her children and make each a worthy and useful member of society. She was a woman of refined tastes, a pleasant writer, and, for the amusement and advancement of her chil- dren, wrote many sketches and scraps of song. She and her husband were both earnest members of the United Presbyterian Church. Several years after the death of John McDonald she was married to John Kerr, at Fair- field Township, Butler County, Ohio. Mr. Kerr was a native of Ireland, a frugal, industrious farmer, always out of debt, a just and courteous neighbor, a firm but kind parent, and the father of seven children, four sons and three daughters. He moved with his family to Mont- gomery County, Indiana, in the fall of 1826, entered land and opened a farm. He was a member of the Old- school Presbyterian Church. He died in 1856, at the residence of the subject of this narrative, in Crawfords- ville, Montgomery County, Indiana. Joseph was seven years of age when, in 1826, his parents located in Montgomery County, then an almost unbroken forest. He remained on the farm until the age of twelve, ex- cepting two years spent at Crawfordsville attending school. Such spare time as he could command from
his labors on the farm was occupied in pursuing a course of study, which aided much in laying the foun- dation for the eventful future in store for him. At an early age he conceived a strong love for the law, and when ten years old he had determined upon making that profession his life work, at the cost of any personal hardship or sacrifice. In his twelfth year the ambitious aspirant for future honors at the bar became an appren- tice at the saddler's trade at Lafayette, Indiana. In that capacity he served five years and nine months, except three months spent in attending school. For fidelity to their interests his employers released him from the last three months of his apprenticeship, which time he spent in prosecuting his studies. Following the resolution made before going to learn a trade, he still pursued his studies with vigor at such times as he could snatch from work or rest. He had already become quite pro- ficient in the English branches and rudiments of learn- ing. His favorite study was history, in which he be- came well versed, and which he retained and quoted with readiness and accuracy. During his apprenticeship he had access to the extensive and well selected library of Doctor Israel T. Canby, who was then receiver of the public moneys of the land office at Crawfordsville, Indiana. This opportunity was well improved, and he was prepared when leaving there, in 1838, to enter upon advanced fields of knowledge. At the age of eighteen years he entered Wabash College, at Crawfordsville, and began the study of the higher branches of learning with success, supporting himself mainly by plying his trade at such times as it was possible to do so. He continued his studies at college till the spring of 1840, except for a short period in the spring of 1839, when he acted with the engineer corps of the state of Indiana, who were then surveying the bed for the Wabash and Erie Canal. In 1840 he entered Asbury University, at Greencastle, Indiana, and remained six months, return- ing to Crawfordsville, where he remained the rest of

the year and taught school one term. In the spring of 1841 he went to Williamsport, Indiana, taking a posi- tion as clerk in the store of James McDonald, his brother, where he resided for one year. In the spring of 1842 he began the study of law at Lafayette, Indiana, with Zebu- lon Beard, one of the first lawyers in the state, as his preceptor. He advanced with rapid strides in his cho- sen profession, his quick and firm grasp of its principles being remarkable. He was admitted to practice, upon examination before the Supreme Court of Indiana, con- sisting of Judges Blackford, Dewey, and Sullivan, in the spring of 1843. He was nominated for the office of prosecuting attorney before he received his license to practice, and was elected to that position at the August election following, over Robert Jones, a Whig and a prominent member of the Lafayette bar. This was the first election of that class of officers by the people, they having formerly been chosen by the Legislature. On the 25th of December, 1844, he was married to Nancy Ruth Buell, at Williamsport, Indiana. She was the daughter of Doctor Buell, a practicing physician and surgeon, and a woman of lovely character, devoted to her family, and conspicuous for her quiet and thorough benevolence. The issue of this union was Ezekiel M., Malcolm A., Frank B., and Annie M. McDonald, after- wards Mrs. Caldwell, who died June 2, 1877. He was re-elected prosecuting attorney over Robert Evans, a prominent lawyer and politician, in August, 1845, serv- ing in all a period of four years. In the fall of 1847 he moved to Crawfordsville and entered on the practice of the law, where he lived until 1859. He was elected to the Thirty-first Congress, from the old Eighth Dis- trict, in August, 1849, and served one term. In 1856 he was elected attorney-general of Indiana, being the first chosen to this office by the people, and was re- elected in 1858, serving in all four years. He was not a candidate for a third term. In the spring of 1859 he removed to Indianapolis and entered upon the prac- tice of the law, forming a partnership with Addison L. Roache, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana. In 1864 Mr. McDonald was nominated for Governor of Indiana by the Democratic State Convention, and made a joint canvass with Oliver P. Morton, the Re- publican nominee. At the election he received six thousand more votes for Governor than the Democratic state ticket did in 1862, when the entire Democratic state ticket, together with a majority in both branches of the General Assembly, was elected. Mr. Morton was elected, however, by nearly twenty thousand votes. In 1868 E. M. McDonald became the law partner of his father, and the next year Addison I. Roache retired from the firm. E. M. McDonald died January 1, 1873. Frank B. McDonakl, his youngest son, has since become the law partner of Mr. McDonald. Senator McDonald's wife died on September 7, 1872. On the 15th of Sep-
