Hand county. S. D.. and who was formerly

The LAIE JUDGE BRECKENRIDGE.
A Long and Honorable Career Ended b,
Death at Fort Wayne.


Death at Fort Wayne.
FoRT WAYNE, April 30.-[SpeciaI. THE
death of Judge Breckenridge, which oc-
Cured at an early hour this morning. was
announced in today's INDIANAPOLIS SEN
TINAL.
The death of Judge Breckenridge,
though not unexpected, falls heavily upon
a community in which he bore an honor
able life of long-continued usefulness.
Few citizens of Fort Wayne have been
held in greater respect and no member Of
the bar of northern Indiana was more
universally esteemed both for his learning
or his genial, courtly manners.
He was born in Brookville, Franklin
county, Ind, August Z, 1923. and receiv-
ing his early education in Fort Wayne, be-
gan the study of the law in the office Of
his uncle, Judge Robert Breckenridge.
He served as prosecuting attorney tor
several terms and in 1856 was appointed
by Governor Willard judge of the court
OF common pleas. He was subsequently
elected to the same Office and served for
four years and afterward served for four
years as judge of the criminal court Of
Allen county. He was a just Judge, his
and mercy. 1t is, however, as the solicit
tor for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chi
cago railway company and afterward as
the solicitor for the Pennsylvania COM
| pany, lessees, that he will be best remem-
bered in his profession. Indeed so many
years of his life have been devoted to the
interests of this client that his earlier
career in the general practice of the law
and on the bench has been to a great de-
gree lost sight of. He was known as the
! great railway company's attorney in every
county seat in Indiana through which its
lines run or to which the venue of liti.
gated cases had been changed. He lays
down his duties with his life and has
merited the highest appreciation from his
employer. Judge Brackenridge's wife
was Miss Eliza j. Walpole, who still sur
wives him. They were married in Ypsi-
lanti, Mich, in 1861. The surviving
children are William P. Breckenridge
| Esq, Robert Emmett Breckenridge and
Mrs. Edith Carey, the latter resident Of
