The succeeding pages list the county officials in groups, giving their respective years of service. It will be noticed that up to 1901 there is no uniformity in the time their terms begin, but that after 1901 all terins except that of recorder begin on January 1. The legislative act of March 1I, 1901, provided that the county auditor, clerk, sheriff, recorder, prosecuting attorney, assessor, coroner, surveyor and county commissioners should begin their term of office on January 1, 1902, following the term of office of the present incumbent. The circuit, probate, associate and common pleas judges and prosecuting and common pleas attorneys are not given in this connection, but may be found in the chapter on the bench and bar of the county. The county superintendents of schools are listed in the chapter on education.
CLERKS OF CIRCUIT COURT.
The clerk of the circuit court under the 1816 Constitution had a seven- year tenure and the length of the term remained unchanged until 1852, when it was made four years. In the early history of the county the clerk also performed the duties later assigned to the recorder by the act of 1841. In the entire history of the county there have been only two Democratic clerks, James G. T. Veach and William Reeder, the present incumbent. In the November. 1914, election the vote for clerk was very close, the first count giving Ambrose Elliott the office by a majority of three over William Reeder. The election was contested and his opponent, William Reeder, was declared-elected. The complete list of clerks since 1819 follows :
Jonathan McCarty, February 2. 1819. resigned April 3, 1828.

TREASURERS.
The office of county treasurer was filled by appointment at the hands of the county commissioners under the 1816 Constitution, that is, from 1819 to 1852. Consequently, there is no record of their years of service in the office of secretary of state. The treasurers during this period were as fol- lows: Newton Claypool. 1819-24; Samuel Vance, 1824-25; Abraham W. Harrison. 1826-27: Gabriel Ginn, 1827-28; George Davis, 1828-29; Larkin Sims, 1829-31 : Henry Goodlander, 1831-47: William M. Smith, 1847-50; Joseph Clark. 1850-53. Beginning with 1853 the record has been taken from the commissions in the office of the secretary of state. W. H. Beck and Ben Cole, the recent incumbent, are the only Democrats elected under the present Constitution. The list of treasurers since 1853 follows :
William H. Beck, September 3. 1853-September 3, 1859. Joseph T. Tate. September 3, 1859-September 3, 1861. William Watton, September 3. 1861-September 3, 1863. Alfred B. Gates.

RECORDERS.
The office of recorder has been in existence from the beginning of the county's history. Under the old Constitution the tenure was seven years and one incumbent, John Tate, served continuously from 1829 until his death in 1845. Although the legislative act of 1901 specifically provided that the term of county officials should begin on January I, the office of recorder in Fayette county is an exception to the act. The complete list of recorders since the organization of the county is as follow :
Joseph C. Reed, February 2, 1819, resigned, 1821.
Jonathan McCarty, appointed September 7, 1821, resigned January 6, 1829.

SURVEYORS.
A complete list of the county surveyors has not been found either in the records in the office of the secretary of state or in the local county records. It appears that Thomas Hinkston served after 1828, but the official records covering the period from 1828 to 1852 have not been found, although the commission of William Erwin in 1852 says that he was "to serve two years from the expiration of term of present incumbent." The name of this "present incumbent" does not appear.

AUDITORS. -
The office of county auditor was not in existence in Fayette county for several years after the county was organized, the duties later assigned to the office being transacted by the other county officials, most of them being in the hands of the clerk of the circuit court. Under the 1816 Con- stitution there was no uniformity in the transaction of county affairs, the Legislature providing for one set of officers for one county and another for other counties. It was not until 1841 that the Legislature provided for an auditor for Fayette county, the first incumbent being. Daniel Rench, an old newspaper man. He served from 1841 to 1852, at which time Job Stout was elected. The first commission of Stout on record in the office of the secretary of state bears the date of November 1, 1855. The complete list of auditors since that time, together with their respective tenures follows : Job Stout, November 1, 1855 -- November 1, 1859.
James Elliott, November 1, 1859-November 1, 1867.
William H. Green, November 1, 1867-November 2, 1875.

Jasper L. Kennedy, January 1, 1908-January 1, 1916. Glenn Zell, January 1, 1916, term expires January 1, 1920.
COUNTY ASSESSORS.
The office of county assessor as now established dates only from 1891, the General Assembly of that year creating the office. From 1852 to 1891 the duties now performed by the assessor were in the hands of the county auditor. A county board of review. consisting of the assessor, auditor and treasurer, and two members appointed by the circuit judge, annually equalizes thie valuation of real and personal property assessed in the county. The board passes on each individual valuation, hears complaints, and revises the assessment list. It also equalizes as between townships or divisions of town- ships and determines a rate per cent. to be added to or deducted from the various classes of property throughout the township. And if necessary, the
203
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
board may even set aside the assessment of the whole county and order a new one, but it has no power to depart from the true cash value in fixing assessments. The property is assessed by the township assessors, who work under the immediate supervision of the county assessor, who has the power to list sequestered or omitted property. The county assessor in turn is under the direction of the state board of tax commissioners.
There have been only four county assessors in Fayette county since 1891. one incumbent filling the office for fifteen consecutive years. The present assessor is a son of the first incumbent. The four assessors are as follow : H. T. Thomas, 1891-94; Edwin M. Stone, 1894-98; William T. Murray, 1898-1914: Scott Thomas. since 1914.
SHERIFFS.
The office of sheriff was provided for in the Constitutions of 1816 and 1852. The tenure has always been two years in the state. It will be noticed that John Conner, the founder of Connersville, was the first incumbent of the office, his appointment by the governor being dated two days before the county was to be formally organized. The sheriff is the only county official who is provided with a house at the expense of the county. The list of sheriffs follows :
John Conner, appointed December 30. 1818, resigned. 1820.
John M. Wilson, appointed February 13. 1820-August 23, 1824.

CORONERS.
The coroner's office is provided for by the Constitution and in certain stipulated cases the coroner is authorized to perform the duties of the sheriff. The office is usually associated with the medical profession, but a great majority of the incumbents of the office in Fayette county have not been physicians. If there is any one man in the list of coroners of Fayette county who deserves special mention it is John Farner, an old-fashioned German, who held the office for twenty years. As far as known, he had no other occupation than that of attending to the duties of the office during these twenty years, but he managed in some way to make enough to eke out an existence .. The complete list of coroners since the organization of the county follows :
Jonathan John, appointed December 30, 1818-September 12, 1821. John Sample, September 12, 1821-September 14, 1825. John Milner, September 14, 1825-November 1, 1827.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The county commissioners occupy a very important place in the affairs of the county and in the ninety-seven years which have elapsed since the county was organized they have had general charge of all the affairs of the county. This body of three men among other things build all the county public buildings, oversee the construction of roads and bridges and pass on all bills to be paid out of county funds. As stated in the succeeding list of commissioners, there was a short time in the history of the county when the commissioners were replaced by a board consisting of one justice of peace from each township in the county. This system, however, was too expensive and besides the board was too cumbersome to do good work. The complete list of commissioners is given by years.

In 1824 a board composed of one justice of peace from each township, was given charge of all county affairs and performed all the duties formerly transacted by the county commissioners. There was a provision that the oldest justice in each township should have a seat on this county board of justices. From September, 1824, until November, 1827. the county was governed by this board of justices. During this period the presidents of the board were as follows: Moses Fay, 1824-25; Justus Wright, 1825-26; Gabriel Ginn, Sep- tember-November, 1826; Marks Crume, 1826-27. The office of county com- missioner was re-established by an act of the 1827 Legislature and has been in continnous operation since that date.
