Mr. E. T. Dunn offered a motion to the effect that it was the sense of those present that, a bar association should be formed. After remarks by several of the attorneys, Mr. Dunn’s motion was adopted.
Mr. George W. Ross then moved that the chair appoint a committee of five to formulate a constitution and by-laws. This carried, and Messrs. George W. Ross, J. A. Bope, E. T. Dunn, Jason Blackford and Harlan F. Burket were named as that committee.
The association held meetings from time to time, adopted a constitution and by-laws, and at the present time, under the able officers, AaronBlackford president, and Silas E. Hurin secretary, bid fair to equal any association of its kind, in the matter of qualifications, clear-mindedness and capability, that can be produced any where in this state.
The constitution has been signed by the following named attorneys: A. Blackford, J. A. Bope, E. T. Dunn, Jason Blackford, George W. Ross, W. H. Kinder, John N. Doty, A. G. Fuller, S. E. Hurin, N. W. Bright, T. H. McConica, A. E. Kerns, M. C. Shafer, R. A. Blackford (deceased), Chas. A. Blackford, John E. Todd (Columbus) H. F. Burket, W. F. Duncan, F. P. Blackford, J. W. Grimm, John E. Betts, W. W. Chapman, E. V. Bope, C. B. Dwiggins, W. L. David, J. Frank Axline, G. G. Banker, Reed Metzler, George F. Pendleton, J. J. Cole, George H. Phelps, Theodore Totten, B. E. Dunn, W. V. Coons, H. (Walter Doty, A. P. Byal, W. H. McElwaine (removed). This, however, represents only a portion of our legal talent in this city and county, and below endeavor to give the names of those, some of whom have become members of the bar association, but failed to sign the constitution, and others who as yet have not connected their name with said association: O. A. Ballard, C. V. Bish, J. C. Bitler, Chas. O. Burket, R. Clint Cole, Honorable Ralph D. Cole, R. K. Carlin, D. H. S. Davis, John E. Priddy, Marion G. Foster, Franklin Franks, J. W. Franks, Alfred Graber, John M. Hamlin, J. M. Harrison, L. Howard Jones, Charles E. Jordan, Samuel A. Kagy, R. J. Kibler, R. C. Lovering, Thomas Meehan, Robert Morris, E. L. E. Mumma, J. M.

Yost and Albert Zugschwert, all of Findlay; W. F. Brickman and W. E. Cooper of McComb, Jacob Line and Jacob Slike of Mt. Blanchard, and W. S. Snook of Vanlue - 74 in number. Surely from this outlay of legal talent, no one in Hancock county ought to go forward into the dark caverns of unlighted knowledge, especially from lack of persons able to throw legal light upon almost any subect which the human mind might possess.
