JUDGE ]. N. RITTER DEAD.


John n. Ritter died at Battle
Creek, Michigan, on Saturday, Feb.
s, 1856, at 10 o'clock a. III. Death
was due to complication of
kidney and stomach troubles and
to mental worry brought on by the
failure some time ago of the
banking house of Ritter x
Doubleday of Columbus.
John Newton Ritter was born in
St. Joseph county, Indiana, near
South Bend, on February s, 1914.
He died February s, 1896. or on his
fifty-second birthday anniversary.
His father, Jacob Ritter, who still
lives, and who was present at the
bedside of his son when he died,
was the first white settler of st.
Joseph county. His grandfather,
OH his fathers side, was native of
Germany, and soldier nnder Gen.
Harrison in the war of 1872. His
mother Elizabeth Miller, was the
daughter of Dunkard minister.
Mr.. Ritter's early education was
that of the common schools OF
Indiana at that time three months
schooling to nine months of toll
on the farm or in the shop. He
spent "a year, however. in the
Northern Indiana College and then
entered the law Office of Hon. W. G
George of South Bend to study law
He subsequently, in March, 1886,
graduated from the law department
of the State University at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, and was admitted
to the bar in the courts of Indiana.
In the fall of 1867 he located in this
county, which has ever since been
his home.
He was married May 9Th, 1870, to
Miss Anna +. Patty, daughter of
DIR. aud Mrs. L. p. Patty, at that
time residents of Chetopa,
afterward residents of Columbus
and now residents of Wichita.
Five children was the result of the
union, three sous and two
daughters, all of whom are living
except one son..
Judge Ritter was elected county
attorney in 1858; was reelected in
1870 and again in 1874, serving in
all six years as public prosecutor
and during most of the turbulent
times incident to the early
settlement of the county.
In the spring of 1871 he was
elected mayor of Columbus and
reelected in 1872.
In the fall of 1884 he was the
candidate of the Republican party
for state senator from this district,
and was elected.
In the spring of 1889 Hon. Georg'
Chandler. then judge of the
Eleventh judicial district having
resigned to accept the position of
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
at Washington, Mr.. Ritter was
appointed by Gov. Humphrey to
fill the vacancy on the bench. The
appointment was only good until
the general election in the fall, but
so satisfactorily had Judge Ritter
fulfilled the duties of judge that M
one thought of his having any
opposition to election until very
short time prior to election. The
election that fall was the beginning
of a revolution in Kansas politics.
A candidate was sprung on the ev'
of election Ia opposition to Judge
Ritter and he was defeated with
others who were 90 unfortunate as
to be candidates that year.
Funeral services were held on
Monday, Feb. 10, and the remains
inferred at South Bend, Ind.
