RESOLUTIONS


We learn with regret of the death of
Judge Russell Mann, in this city, on
January II, 1912, though he had filled
out his allotted time. Judge Mann was
born in Nicholas county, Kentucky,
November 8, 1889, and was the son of
Emanuel Mann and Eleanor s. Mann.
He was educated in the public schools
and graduated at Miliersburg before the
CivlWar. During the War he served
IN the Confederat army. He gradual
ed at Pennsylvania Law School in
March, 1868, and shortly thereafter he
was admitted to the Bourbon bar. In
1870, he was married to Miss Kate
Hutchcraft, of Bourbon county. He
was Elected County Attorney of Bour-
bon county in 1870, and reelected in
1874, and served in that Office until 1878.
In 1888, he was appointed to fill a
vacancy in the Office Of County Attor-
ney, caused by the death Of Presley S.
Ford. On September 26, 1883, he was
elected Judge of Bourbon County by
the Magistrates of Bourbon county, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Matt Turney and at the follow
ing August election was elected to the
Office of County Judge, and filed that
Office until January ), 1895. On June
| 2S, 1905, he was appointed Master Com
missioner Of the Bourbon Circuit Court
and continued in that Office up to the
time of his death. His professional
and official life in our midst covered a
! period of about forty three years. He
was member Of the Christian Church
a greater part Of his life, and for many
years an Elder in that church. He was
a man of the highest, integrity and
honor, and enjoyed the esteem and con-
| fidence of the general public, through
out his long professional and official
career. During all of his professional
and official life no one ever questioned
his sincerity, his honesty and his integ-
rjty. In his private life, he was an
exemplary husband and father, and a
citizen Of the highest type In his
professional and official life, he was
faithful to every trust. In addition to
the attainments of a substantial educa-
ton, general and legal, he possessed &
store Of strong, common sense, which
made him a good lawyer and good
! Judge on the bench. He was uniformly
| pleasant and cordial in his association
with other members of the bar snd with
| the public. His pleasant greeting will
| be missed by his associates and his
| friends. He was a courageous man al
ways, and yet very gentle in his dispo-
! sitiOn, never growing impatient even
/ with age and sickness. He was SYM
| pathetic in his nature and kind to all
with whom he came in contact. In all
questions affecting the public good, he
was invariably found on the right side.
His known integrity and honesty en-
deared him to the general pu bile, and
few men have lived in our community
who were as universally liked and re-
spected as Judge Mann. He was
President of the Bar Association for
many years and up to the time of his
death. His entire life was spent in
our community and he made strong
impression upon this community for
good. His professional and official life
was as useful as it was long. Though
ne is dead, the influence he eXerted in
this community for good, will live
forever. Be it accordingly
RESOLVED, That we hereby express,
in simple words, to be in keeping with
his transformations life, our high appre-
citation of his worth, his integrity and
his useful life. Be it further
RESOLVED, That we tender to his
family our deepest sympathy; and be
! it further
RESOLVED, That we request the
Bourbon Circuit Court to spread these
resolutions upon its records, and that
