As an adult, he farmed and taught school in Illinois and spent time in Nebraska and Oregon before returning to Indiana in 1870. He began studying law at Indiana University in 1872 and read law in the office of Howell D. Thompson in Anderson, Indiana in 1875 before being admitted to the bar that same year. A Democrat, he was elected prosecuting attorney in 1878 and also served on the city council. He was one of the founders of the Anderson Loan Association, was the president of the Anderson Trust Company for several years and helped establish the Y.M.C.A. home. He married Sarah Louise Northcott on Janauray 4, 1905 and passed away at the age of 72 on September 5, 1918. A great VINTAGE item ready for display!

Terms of Sale I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item.

Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago.

In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us.
