In the year 1914 he was appointed to the position of postmaster of Mt. Vernon, and in this ca- pacity has continued to render efficient and intelligent service.


On the 29th day of June, 1910, was solemnized his marriage to Miss Harriet Brinkman, and their home, then established in Mt. Vernon, has extended hospitality to a host of interesting friends.


During his years in college he became affiliated with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity; is now affiliated with the Free and Accepted Masons, Royal Arch Masons and B. P. O. Elks, all of Mt. Vernon.


HENRY WIMBERG


Closely identified with political and business affairs of the city of Evansville for many years, the name of Henry Wimberg ranks high in the roster of prominent Democratic workers in Vanderburg county.


Mr. Wimberg is a native of Germany, born in the city of Oldenburg on the 30th day of December, 1851. Here his boyhood was spent and his schooling received. In 1875 he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Emge, and she has proven a devoted companion and helpmate.


Mr. Wimberg's residence in Evansville has been fraught with various activities in the service of the commonwealth.


He was elected to membership in the city council and for six years took an active part in the deliberations of that body. He has also served on the police and fire board for a period of three years, and has been actively interested in the various movements which have arisen from time to time for the general progress and development of the community.


Mr. Wimberg is also widely known as president of the Evansville Brewing Association and as president of the Vendome Hotel Company. He is regarded as one of the progressive business men of Evansville.


HUGO WINTERHOFF


The Fatherland has sent to our shores in the years that have passed many citizens who have risen to prominence in our own country through their interest in business and civic affairs; and this is clearly exemplified in the case of Hugo Winterhoff. This gentleman was born in Germany on the fifth


( 1055 )


HISTORY INDIANA DEMOCRACY-1816-1916


day of June, 1864, and in his childhood he attended the schools of his native state. In the year 1881, however, when a lad of sixteen, he came to this country with his parents, settling in the city of Elk- hart, Indiana, and here his schooling was continued. On the 14th day of September, 1894, he was united in marriage to Miss Clara L. Haslanger, whose home was in South Bend, Indiana; but on the 7th of March, 1913, death deprived him of the companionship of his helpmate.


In the fall of 1911 he was elected on the Democratic ticket to the important position of county recorder, assuming the duties of his position on the first day of the following January, his term of office expiring on the 31st of December, 1915.


In the years since he attained his majority Mr. Winterhoff has performed much valued service in the ranks of the Democratic party, and is deserving of the high esteem in which he is held by his con- stituents and the community at large.


FRANK H. WOLFE


Any reference to the active workers in the ranks of Shelby county Democracy should include mention of the name of Frank H. Wolfe.


Mr. Wolfe was born in Decatur county, Indiana, May 22, 1881. He attended the schools of his home district and at the age of twenty-four years he located in Shelby county, where his perma- nent home was established after his marriage to Miss Ive Pyle.


During the Spanish-American war Mr. Wolfe served as a sergeant-major. Later he began the study of law and was admitted to the bar of Shelby county. During the campaign of 1914 he was an active participant in the work of the Democratic organization and was the party's nomi- nee for prosecuting attorney.


ALPHONSO C. WOOD


Alphonso C. Wood was born on the 23rd day of January, 1874, in Steuben county, Indiana.


He attended the public schools of his county and later continued his studies at the Tri-State College of Angola, from which institution he graduated in the classical course in July, 1895. In 1896 he en- tered the law department of the University of Michigan, and after completing a three-year course was admitted to the bar and has been engaged in the active practice of law ever since. In 1901 he was elected town clerk of the town of Angola for a two-year term, was re-elected in 1903, and at the ex- piration of this term of office he was appointed city attorney for the city of Angola. From March, 1909, until November, 1910, he held the position of secretary to Congressman Cyrus Cline, of the 12th district of Indiana. In February, 1911, he was appointed deputy oil inspector, which position he held until March, 1915.


He is an active party worker, holding the position of secretary of the county central committee from 1900 until 1908, at which time he was elected county chairman, which position he has since held.


His marriage to Miss Mayme Moffett occurred June 28, 1899. They have one son, Theodore Thom- as Wood, born February 2, 1905.


DE VERE YEOMAN


The gentleman whose name appears at the head of this review is among the ablest of the young- er workers in the ranks of the Democratic party in Jasper county. He is a native of this state, born on July 25, 1887.


After his graduation from the public schools of his home district Mr. Yeoman's studies were con- tinued at Purdue University, and later a course was taken in civil engineering at Valparaiso College.


On July 1, 1911, Mr. Yeoman was united in marriage to Miss Blanche McCarthy of Rensselaer, and in that city their home was established. In the beginning of the year 1913 he assumed the duties of county surveyor, and in that position he brought to his work that abounding energy and conscien- tious zeal which make for assured success. He is an active worker for the success of Democracy and is well known among the members of the county organization.

HISTORY INDIANA DEMOCRACY-1816 -1916


CHARLES A. YOTTER


The gentleman whose name heads this review has long been known in Steuben county as an active worker in the ranks of the party and a stanch adherent to Democratic principles.


Charles A. Yotter is a native of the state of Iowa, born on the 16th day of January, 1864. In the year 1887 he came to Indiana for the purpose of continuing his schooling at the Tri-State Col- lege at Angola, having previously attended Denmark Academy and Iowa Wesleyan University, both in Iowa. In the year 1892 he was admitted to the bar of Steuben county and in that county has since been actively engaged in the practice of the law, having his home and office at Angola.


Mr. Yotter has been a consistent party worker, making political speeches since 1888, but has not been an aspirant for public office.


Mr. Yotter has been twice married. On October 19, 1897, he was united in marriage to Miss Gussie B. Best, who died in 1900. On January 1, 1902, he married Miss Rena S. Sears.


PHILIP ZOERCHER


Since the year 1889, when Philip Zoercher was little more than a hoy, he has held various positions in the service of the commonwealth, and in all of these has demonstrated unusual ability and loyalty to the interests of the community at large.


He is a native of this locality, born in Tell City on the first day of October, 1866. Here his boyhood and youth were spent, attending the public schools of his district; following the completion of the high school course, his studies were continued at the Central Normal College of Danville, Indiana.


In the fall of 1888, when he was but twenty-two years of age, he was elected representative from Perry county to the legislature of the state, and so well did he serve and such abil- ity did he display in the assembly of 1889 that he was re- turned for the session of 1891. In this same year, also, he founded the Tell City News, and this thriving paper was con- tinued under his control until the year 1900, when he dis- posed of it to his youngest brother.


From boyhood he was an enthusiastic worker for the cause of Democracy, and in the year 1892, at the state conven- tion, he was appointed a delegate to the national convention from the first Indiana district. The following year he was appointed postmaster of Tell City and in this capacity he served for four years, throughout the second administration of President Cleveland. During these years, however, he again found time to take up the study of the law, which he temporarily dropped when he took up newspaper work, as he had been a member of Judge Clark's law class at Danville, Indiana, in 1889-90; and was admitted to the bar of Perry county in November, 1890. In 1898 he was appointed deputy prosecuting attorney for Perry county and in the year 1900 he was elected prose- cuting attorney of the second judicial circuit. At the expiration of his term of two years in this of- fice, he again engaged in private practice, building for himself a lucrative and increasing clientele.


In November, 1912, he was elected court reporter for the supreme court, and his services in this work have been invaluable to the court. Judge Monks, formerly on the supreme bench, stated that the reports as now issued, with annotations, are the best ever produced in the history of the state, a rare tribute to the intelligence and conscientious zeal displayed by Mr. Zoercher.


Throughout his career he has been a consistent adherent to Democratic principles and has sought at all times to further the cause; and when making the race for representative in 1888 he was a most eloquent speaker during the campaign, meeting his opponent in joint debates and otherwise rendering valuable service to the local organization. His debate with E. T. Franks at Cannelton in 1892 is still remembered by many.


He is also vitally interested in fraternal affairs, and is affiliated with the Tell City Lodge No. 203 Knights of Pythias; Tell City Lodge No. 206 I. O. O. F .; Allemania Encampment No. 156; Tell

City Lodge No. 623 F. and A. M .; Indianapolis Consistory 32nd degree A. and A. Scottish Rite and Tell City Chapter No. 272 O. E. S.


Mrs. Zoercher, to whom he was married on the 26th day of June, 1892, was formerly Miss Martha J. McAdams, and their home life has demonstrated her true worth as a helpmate.


LOUIS ZOERCHER


The present postmaster of Tell City has for many years been a prominent citizen in that locality and an important factor in shaping the thought of the community, having been a leader in the field of journalism in that locality.


Louis Zoercher was born near the site of his present home on the 16th day of May, 1880. He received his education in the schools of Tell City, and when he attained to manhood's estate engaged in business. He entered the service of Congressman W. E. Cox in the capacity of private secretary, and in this work demonstrated unusual skill and tact.


Later he assumed control of the Tell City News, a paper founded by his elder brother and pub- lished by him until the transfer was effected. He is also proprietor of the Jasper Herald, and through these organs has been a dominant factor in political affairs in the community. In this work he has pursued progressive policies, standing firmly for all movements which make for the better- ment of the community, physically and morally.


On the 7th day of June, 1905, Mr. Zoercher was united in marriage to Miss Alice Patrick, and their home, then established, has extended hospitality to a host of friends.


On the 4th day of April, 1914, he received from President Wilson his appointment to the post- mastership of Tell City, and in this capacity his aggressive methods are evident.


He is affiliated with the fraternal orders of Free and Accepted Masons, Order of Eastern Star, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Allemania Encampment, and the Modern Woodmen of America.


FRED E. ZOLLARS


Fred E. Zoliars is known not only in Fort Wayne, but throughout the county as an able lawyer and a stanch Democrat who is always ready to do all he can for the success of his party, but never looks for any personal preferment. He was born in Fort Wayne, received his literary and preliminary legal training at Miami University, completed his legal studies with Zollars, Worden & Zollars, and was ad- mitted to practice in 1897. Mr. Worden dropped out in 1902 and the firm became Zollars & Zollars. In December, 1909, Judge Zollars died, and in April, 1910, the present firm of Leonard, Rose & Zollars was formed. It is one of the strong legal firms of the state. F. E. Zollars gives to the cause of Democ- racy what time he can spare from a very active legal career. He has been affiliated with Democratic committees for years and has been a delegate to several state and congressional conventions. His ad- vice on political matters is highly respected by his fellow Democrats, and he is held in constant touch with the party in Allen county. He is a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Shrine; also of the Elks and order of Moose.
