The life of Mr.. Thomas j. Porter, un-
til he was twenty-one years old, was
spent on his fathers farm, and his first
schooling was obtained in the public
schools in the vicinity. In 1874 he en-
tered a preparatory school to fit him
self for college. Then reverses came,
but he was equal to the emergency.
He obtained a position as teacher in a
country school, and with the none he
had been able to save he went to Leb-
anon, Ohio, and entered college. He
graduated with high honors After
serving as superintendent Of schools at
Jackson, Tennessee, for some time, he
resigned to study law. Returning to
Lebanon, he entered the law Office of
John E. Smith, one of Ohio's most emf
nent attorneys, where he fitted himself
for admission to the bar of Ohio. In
1886 he came to Montana. He began
by securing the superintendency Of the
Miles City schools. The law firm of
Strevell & Porter "a formed later,
and from that date Mr.. Porter has
been actively and successfully engaged
in the practice of his profession. In
