General Notes: Husband - Thomas Sterrett

---

He was born in the old log house on the family homestead and passed his life on the old farm, which came into his possession; in 1868 he built a modern house opposite the old one. He was justice of the peace for nearly twenty-four years in succession, and it is said of him that he settled nearly every case brought before him, and that he never had a decision reversed in the higher courts. For many years he was a private banker for his neighbors, who went to him with their financial matters. He was one of the best known men in the county, was thoroughly posted regarding the financial standing of nearly every man within a radius of many miles, had no desire to hold office yet held all the important offices in the township, was well posted in law matters and did considerable legal writing; one could scarcely go by his door without seeing teams hitched there. He was one who dearly loved his home and his family, a feeling which was reciprocal. He was noted for the manner in which he performed his work, there was a method in his business; a patience and affability in official intercourse; an unobtrusive civility and endurance of labor, a courtesy of manner, and tenacity of memory, accuracy in figures and neatness of penmanship, and a vigilant interest in the public weal which were strikingly manifest, which especially fitted him for this work. His home, like that of his parents and grandparents, was one of liberal hos­pitality. In all his long and eventful career no breath of suspicion ever sullied his name.
