STARKE COUNTY.
Starke county was created by the Legislature, January 15, 1850, and is next to the last county but one to be organized in the state. The few settlers who lived in Starke county prior to 1850 came under the jurisdiction of Marshall county. The commissioners designated in the act organizing county, met at the home of Jacob Bozart at the appointed time to choose a site for the county seat. Since there was not a town nor even the sign of one in the new county, the locating commissioners experienced little difficulty in making a choice. The commissioners, W. C. Barnett, L. Chamberlain and W. W. Patterson, made their report to the county commissioners on April 1, 1850, at which time they reported in favor of the present site of Knox. A part of the town site was donated

by James Shields, who gave the county thirty acres for such purposes as it might see fit. Carter D. Hathaway platted Knox and the plat was recorded on June 12, 1850.
The first Circuit court in Starke county met May 19, 1851, at the house of Mrs. Rachel Lamberts, which stood on the south bank of Yellow river, in the town of Knox. Ebenezer M. Chamberlain was the only President Judge while the county was under the old Constitution ; in fact, Starke county was in existence less than two years before the Constitution of 1852 went into operation. Samuel Burke and George Mil- roy were commissioned Associate Judges of the county on June 13, 1850, and Daniel Hathaway was commissioned Pro- bate Judge on December 2, 1850. There were no changes made in President, Associate or Probate Judges prior to Oc- tober 12, 1852, when the present Constitution went into oper- ation.
When the state was recircuited in 1852 Starke county was placed in the Ninth circuit and it remained in this circuit until the entire state was recircuited, March 6, 1873. During this period of twenty years, three different judges presided over the circuit: Thomas L. Stanfield, Albert G. David and Andrew L. Osborne. Stanfield resigned in February, 1857, and the Governor appointed David to serve until the first reg- ular election. In the fall of the same year Andrew L. Os- borne was elected and served by subsequent election until 1870. At that time Judge Stanfield again came on the bench and presided until Starke was placed in the Thirty-first cir- cuit, the same act transferring Judge Stanfield to the Thirty- second circuit, composed of Laporte and St. Joseph. Starke was united with Lake and Porter in the Thirty-first circuit.
Upon the organization of the new circuit in 1873 the Gov- ernor appointed Hiram A. Gillett to serve until the next reg- ular election. Judge Gillett was elected in the fall of 1873 for a term of six years and served until October 22, 187.9, when he was succeeded by Elisha C. Field. Before the ex- piration of Judge Field's term (February 24, 1883), Starke was united with Pulaski in the Forty-fourth circuit. Judge Field was left in the Thirty-first circuit and the Governor ap- pointed William Spangler as judge of the newly created Forty-

fourth. Starke and Pulaski have remained united in the Forty-fourth circuit since 1883. George Burson was elected at the next regular election in the fall of 1884 and served two terms, being followed by George W. Beeman in 1896. Judge Beeman was one of the earliest attorneys of Starke county and located at Knox about 1856. Judge Beeman only served one term, being followed in 1902 by John C. Nye. Judge Nye was succeeded in 1908 by Francis J. Vurpillat. The present judge, William C. Pentecost, took the bench on No- vember 12, 1914, for the regular term of six years.
Among the leading attorneys of Starke county of the past generation may be mentioned Horace Corbin, John D. Mc- Laren, Andrew G. Porter, Sylvester A. McCracken, Samuel Beatty, William B. Hess, L. Harvey Shatto and Albert I. Gould. Gould was one of the biggest lawyers the state has ever had, standing six foot four inches in height and tipping the scales at four hundred and eighty pounds. He died in 1906, his body being cremated. William C. Pentecost, the present judge, was one of the leading members of the Starke county bar at the time of his election and is the second judge of the circuit to be elected from his county.

STEUBEN COUNTY.
Steuben county was organized on January 14, 1837, and the act became effective on the first of the following May. The county seat has always been at Angola, although another site was seriously considered when the locating commissioners met in the summer of 1837 to choose a location. Two places were offered for their consideration, the present site of Ango- la and Steubenville. The Steubenville of 1837 was not located where the town of the same name is situated at the present time. The first Steubenville was located north of the town of Pleasant Lake in range 13, township 36, near the line between sections 10 and 15. The Steubenville advocates, led by Isaac Glover and Abner Winsor, offered to donate a site and sixteen thousand two hundred dollars, but their site was too far from the center of the county to receive serious consideration. Angola's claims were presented by Cornelius Gilmore and Thomas Gale, and their offer to give a site for the court house and erect the building was finally accepted. The central loca- tion of Angola has proved the wisdom of the locating commis- sioners in selecting it and no other town in the county has since been considered as the seat of justice.
The first session of the Steuben Circuit court was held at the house of Cornelius Gilmore according to the provision of
1016
COURTS AND LAWYERS OF INDIANA
the act organizing the county, but the court adjourned at once to meet in the house of Thomas Gale in Angola. Charles W. Ewing was the President Judge of the circuit and opened the first session of court in the county on April 12, 1838, with Thomas Gale and Samuel Tuttle as his Associates.
When Steuben county was organized in 1837 it was at- tached to the Eighth judicial circuit, where it remained until the act of December 14, 1841, placed it in the newly created Twelfth circuit. It remained in the latter circuit until the whole state was redistricted in 1852, after the adoption of the present Constitution. The five President Judges who held court in the county under the 1816 Constitution-Charles W. Ewing, Henry Chase, John W. Wright, James W. Borden and Elza A. McMahon-have all been mentioned in the judicial histories of other counties of the circuit to which Steuben was attached from time to time. None of these judges were residents of Steuben county.

The first circuiting after the adoption of the present Con- stitution placed Steuben county in the Tenth circuit, which at that time included the counties of Steuben, Adams, Wells, Huntington, Wabash, Whitley, Allen, Noble, Dekalb, La- grange, Elkhart and Kosciusko-a total of twelve counties. The circuit was decreased from year to year until February 20, 1867, when Steuben was placed in the Fourteenth circuit, with Elkhart, Lagrange, Dekalb, Noble and Kosciusko. Steu- ben remained in this circuit until March 6, 1873, when the Legislature put it in the Thirty-fifth with Dekalb and Noble counties. No change was made in the circuit until March 21, 1879, by which time the docket of the circuit had become so clogged with cases that it was necessary to provide for some kind of relief. The legislative act of this date organized Steuben and Dekalb as the Fortieth circuit, but the act pro- vided that both counties should again become a part of the Thirty-fifth after October 1, 1880. The governor appointed Charles A. O. McClellan as judge of the Fortieth for this short period, Judge Tousley continuing on the bench of the Thirty-fifth, which, according to the act, was the only county in the circuit during this time. When the three counties were again united in October, 1880, Tousley continued as judge of the Thirty-fifth circuit until the expiration of his term in 1882. The next and last change in circuits affecting Steuben county was made with the act of March 1, 1889, which placed Steuben and Dekalb in the Thirty-fifth, Noble and Whitley being united in the Thirty-third at the same time.
The first Circuit Judge elected from Steuben county was Stephen A. Powers, who served from 1888 to 1894. Prior to this time Joseph A. Woodhull had served a short time by appointment. Judge Woodhull was appointed on September 1, 1876, to fill the unexpired term of Judge James I. Best, of Waterloo, who resigned on that date to form a partnership
1018
COURTS AND LAWYERS OF INDIANA
with Robert W. McBride for the practice of law. Judge Woodhull served until October 24, 1876, when he was suc- ceeded by Hiram S. Tousley, who had been elected at the Oc- tober election. The next resident of Steuben to be elected judge was Emmet A. Bratton, who was on the bench of the Thirty-fifth from 1904 to 1910, being followed by Frank M. Powers, another life-long resident of Steuben county. Judge Powers was elected judge of the Appellate court in the fall of 1914 and resigned as Circuit Judge on December 14, 1914. Judge Powers took his seat on the Appellate bench on Jan- uary 1, 1915, but served only about a month, dying on Feb- ruary 3, 1915. Governor Ralston appointed Daniel M. Link, of Auburn, to fill the unexpired term of Judge Powers on the bench of the Thirty-fifth circuit.
One of the most prominent members of the bar of Steuben county is Newton W. Gilbert, who was born in Worthington, Ohio, May 24, 1862, and came to Angola with his parents in his boyhood. Mr. Gilbert represented Steuben and Lagrange counties in the Senate of the sixtieth and sixty-first General Assembly (1899-1901). He was elected lieutenant-governor of Indiana in November, 1900, and served a full four-year term, beginning in January, 1901. During the Spanish- American War he was captain of Company H, One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry. For the past several years he has held various government positions in the Philippines. He was formerly vice-governor of the Islands and is now a practicing attorney at Manila.
Cyrus Cline, the present representative in Congress from the Twelfth district, is the only congressman who has ever been elected from Steuben county. He was elected to the sixty-first Congress and is now serving his third term.

SULLIVAN COUNTY.
Sullivan county was organized on December 30, 1816, and the act became effective on the 15th of the following January. The locating commissioners selected Carlisle for the first seat of justice, but three years later it was moved to Merom, a town on the Wabash river. An effort was made to secure a more central location by the act of January 29, 1830, but the Merom adherents prevented the change. The question of re- moval lay dormant for ten years, but by 1840 the increasing population made it necessary to seek a site nearer the center of the county. On February 15, 1841, the Legislature passed an act providing for a board of five commissioners to select a new seat of justice as near the center of the county as possi- ble. They selected the site of Sullivan, then an unbroken wilderness, and there laid out the present town. The formal transfer of records from Merom to the newly-chosen county seat took place in 1843, at which time a court house was ready for their reception. Owing to the fact that the Sullivan county court house and all its records were destroyed by fire on February 6, 1850, the early history of the county has been hard to trace. In fact, there are no local records on which to base the court history of the county prior to this fire. The first term of the Circuit court after the fire was held on March 4, 1850, with John Law as President Judge and Isaac Shan- non and Justice Davis as Associates. This session was held in the Methodist church at Sullivan.
Notwithstanding the loss of all the county records prior to 1850, a complete list of the President Judges, Associate Judges, Probate Judges and prosecuting attorneys is available from the records in the office of the Secretary of State at Indian- apolis.

stitution. Upon its organization Sullivan county was attached to the First circuit, which at that time (1817) was presided over by Benjamin Parke. Parke, however, resigned before there was a session of court held in the county, being followed by William Prince, who served from February 8, 1817, to May 16, 1818. The county remained in the First circuit until the act of January 29, 1830, placed it in the Seventh, where it re- mained until 1852. The Judges during this period served in the following order, the dates of their service being shown in the roster of judicial officers in a succeeding paragraph : Benjamin Parke, William Prince, Thomas Blake, General W. Johnston, Jonathan Doty, Jacob Call, John R. Porter, John Law, General W. Johnston, Amory Kinney, Elisha Hunting- ton, William P. Bryant, John Law, Samuel B. Gookins and Delana R. Eckles.
Sullivan was made a part of the Sixth circuit in 1852 and remained in this circuit until March 1, 1867, when it was placed in the Eighteenth. When the whole state was redis- tricted in 1873, Sullivan was made a part of the Fourteenth circuit, where it has since remained. The act of February 16, 1911, made Sullivan the sole county in the circuit and organized a new circuit-the Sixty-third-for Greene county. Charles E. Henderson, the Judge of the old Fourteenth, was transferred to the newly created Sixty-third, and the Gover- nor appointed (February 17, 1911) William H. Bridewell as Judge of the Sullivan Circuit court. Judge Bridewell was elected to the bench in the fall of 1912 for a six-year term, to expire November 14, 1918.
