Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIII. BANKING AND FINANCE. Edited by C. H. Church.

It was so successful that a feeling of hostility was aroused against it, which was engendered and promoted by the politicians for their own selfish purposes. A strong fight was made by this faction against the renewal of its charter, as the time approached for its expiration, as they desired a charter to issue for a new state bank, which they could control. In 1853 the legislature passed a free bank law and in 1855 renewed the charter for the bank of the State of Indiana, however, both of these bills had to be passed over the governor''s veto. In order to delay the last bill taking effect, the matter was carried to the supreme court, who sustained the act, and the bank was reorganized with the Hon.

Excerpt: Four years later, in 1888, he was admitted to the bar, and at once came to the front in his profession, for no dreary novitiate awaited him, and from that time to the present his name has been inseparably interwoven with the legal profession in Delaware county. In 1890 the Republican party, of which he has ever been an active and efficient worker, made him the county prosecuting attorney, to which office he was returned in 1892, and later was elected to the high position of circuit judge, being its present incumbent. In 1890 the Judge was united in marriage to Laura, a daughter of Joseph Emerson. His fraternal relations connect Judge Leffler with the Masonic order, the Knights of Pythias and the Independent Order of Red Men, and he is also a member of the Sons of Veterans, while his religious affiliations are with the Baptist church, of which he is a valued member. Although in the main self-educated, he is a scholarly man, profound lawyer, an able judge, and is an unassuming, genial and popular citizen. The Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company, like most of our largest manufacturing concerns, was started in a small way, and has been built up by hard work and untiring energy. The five brothers, founders and present owners of the business, Edmund B, Frank C, William C, Lucius L. and George A, were all born on a farm in Trumbull county, Ohio. While they were all young their father moved to Canandaigua, New York state, where he engaged in the mercantile business and where at the academy they Books, Literary Collections~~General, A-Twentieth-Century-History-of-Delaware-County-Indiana~~General-William-Harrison-Kemper, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
