 The first representative of Faulk- ner county in the legislature was S. B. Burns, who took his seat in the house of representatives Nov. 10, 1874. J. w. House was the first senator from this (the twenty seventh) senatorial district.
 The first county officers were as follows: County judge, J. w. Dun can; clerk, c. H. Lander; shel iii Benton Turner; treasurer, M. E.. Moore; coroner, R. T. Harrison; surveyor, G. w. Johnson; assessor A. B. Henry.
