THE UNITED STATES BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARr.

Against his protest his party ran him for the lower house of congress in r8so, in a strong democratic district, where the best he could do, and what he did do, was to reduce the usual majority. He aided in forming the republican party in Iowa, and it is to his influence and that. of a few other candid, conscientious and eloquent speakers, that the party owes, in a great measure, its stre11gth in the state. · But while Senator Wright has been largely identified with the politics of Iowa for the last thirty years, he has done much ·good service to the state in other respects. From 186o to · 1865 he was president of ·

; the State Agricultural Society, and worked zealously for the widening and strengthening of its influence .

·' His annual addresses delivered during those years . showed that he had given no inconsiderahle atten~

'ction to other subjects besides law and politics; In ' the autumn of t86s he and Judge C. C. Cole

org,<mized, at Des Moines, the Iowa Law School, which, three years later, was removed to Iowa City

. and made . a branch . of the State University. In educational matters generally he has taken a l(vely interest; has done valuable work at sundry times on the local school board, and is president of the. board of trustees of Simpson Centenary College, a _Methodist institution located at Indianola, Warren county.

He' has long been connected with the Methodist · ' iscopal church; and is one of its leading laym en

Iowa. No man in the state, of any denomina-

tion, has a higher moral and religious standing. He is a christian statesman of the noblest type.

Superior natural abilities, extensive legal learning and a broad and liberal culture, combined with rare practical sagacity, have concurred to make him prominent among -the foremost lawyers and jurists of the country. A ready and comprehensive grasp of cases, with the quick discrimination and rapid analysis wi_th which he at once separates and seizes upon the vital ·and material points, enable him as a lawyer almost intuitively to comprehend the meri'ts and de111erits . of every cau.se cir question presented to him . As a juqge, with unswe_rving integrity and unyielding firmness, he invari.ably cut his way to · what seenJt:d the very ri ght of a case, regardless alike of~pecious te~_hnicalities .on the one hand and false. sei1tinientalis'm on the othet, detecting at a glance ail ~ hic~nery a,nd art.ifice, arid quietly brushing away all sophjst,rie~ <!nd falla c_ious reasonings:

HON. JAMES H . ROTHROCK,

Tlf'TON.

JAMES HARVEY ROTHROCK, now on the supreme bench of Iowa, is a native of Mill roy,

Pennsylvania, and was born on the 1st of Jnnr, 1829 . He is a son of Joseph Rothrock, a tanner and fanner, and Sarah McKinney. The Rothrocks were Hugu enots, driven to Holland and came thence to th e . United States in the early part of the colonial period. The maternal great-grandfather of James H . was a captain during the revolutionary war. Joseph Rothrock moved to Adams county, Ohio, when his son was about nine years old, and there the b tter was reared on a farm and in a tan-yard. He fitted for college at Felicity, Ohio; entered Fra11klin College, New Athens, and left ~t the cc;>mmencement of the junior year; read law ' with E. P . Evans, of West

· Union, Ohio, and was a?mitted to the bar at Colum-

bus in February, 1853 · He practiced six years in (;reenfic!J, Highland county, and one year at Hillsboro, in the same county, and in July, 186o, settled in Tipton, Iowa. Here, after two years' practice, he enlisted in hi,~ country's service, going into the army in August; 1862, as lieutenant-colonel of the 35th Iowa Infantry. At the end of one year, owing to disability, he was obliged to resign. Returning to Tipton, he resumed practice and continued it until January, 1867, when he went on the bench in the eighth jutlicial district. He was reelected twice, and during his third term, in February, 1876, he was appoi nted to the supreme bench in pursmince of an act of the legislature increasing the number of judges of the supreme court. He was elected by the people in the autumn of the same year. As a jurist he is re-

markable for his strong common sense and practical ideas. Probably no man has a nicer discrimination between right and wrong. His experience for ten

years as nisi prius judge was an excellent preparatory

school for the supreme bench. His decisions made

while a distri c t judge we re the result of a clear head ancl a cool judpnent, ancl were rarely reversed .

While a resiclent of Ohio, in rSss, Judge Rothrock was elected prosec uting attorney for Highland county, and ~ervccl one term . He was a member of the lo1ver house of the general assembly of Iowa in

the regular session of r862 ancl the war session of the same year, enlisting at the close of the latter session. 1\lthough a new man in the stale in r86r, when he

was nominated for memb er of the legislature, that nomination was made by acclamation. He had

· stumped th e county iri the autumn before, the farm ers had become acquainted with him and he was their fir st c hoice. He proved to be a wise and effi

cient legislator. The fat her of Judge Rothrock, a Presbyterian

elder for many years, and a. man of strong religious and humane feelings, was an abolitionist and a Bir-ney man in 1844· Living in southern Ohio, he ·had . many opportunities to aid bondmen to escape, and

was always prompt to lend them a helping hand.

The son irQbibed his father's political sentiments, and in more than a hundred instances aided fugi.

tives in their flight from the cruel taskmaster. Judge -, •

Rothrock voted the abolition ti:cket till the great · ,. ;: . p:uty of freedom arose and finally, with Abraham Lincoln for a banner bearer, overthrew the slave pow·e r .

On the r8th of October, rSss, Miss A. L. Foote, of <:ranville, Ohio, was married to Judge Rothrock, and has borne him three children, all yet living.

Judge Rothrock has long had a passion for agricultural pursuits, and regards it as a noble occupation to improve land. He has a small farm adjoining the c ity of Tipton, and two large farms farther west, in Sac county. Financially, he has been moderately ·

successful.

HON. JOHN F. DILLON,

OAVENPORT.

JOHN F. DILLON, judge of the United States c ircuit co urts for the eighth judicial circuit, was

born in .\\'ashingto n county, New York, on the 25th of ·Decembe r, r831. H is father was Thomas Dillo n. His paterna l and maternal grandfathers were each bo r.Ii in Ireland, and emigrated to this country at an en rl y_ age ancl settled in th e State of New York, from whence hi s fathe 'r immigr:Ited to ro,~a .

year he was elected prosecuting attorney for Scott

co unty. In rRsR,. when twenty-seven years of age, he was

elected by a majority greatly exceeding the majority

of his party as the republican candidate for judge of the seventh judic ial district of Iowa, a district then compo~e~ of the four populous counties of Scott, Muscatir)~, Jackson and Clinton . .The first work he did after his election was the giving of a close, critica l study to all the then reported aecisions of the supreme; court of the state. This resulted in the preparad·6;1 of his first legal work, "A Dig.est of the Uecisio~,~ c of the Supreme Court of Iowa.;, In r862 he was t_~~lected without a:ny opposition. the .bar of the distriCt, without distinction of party, uniting in a request .-to, him to continue in the office. During the year fpllowing his second election he was nominated

by the republican party of his state for one of the judg-es of the supreme court, and was elected for a term of six years; takin~~: his seat on the 1st of J anuary, x863.

He \\"aS an indefatigable student.

;Among the young men who came to the county to en-fmg~ \n the general practice of the law, after the war, and

-· M(h~; became one of the leaders in a comparatively short · tim~, was Frank Hormel, who passed away in the early ni~eties at the age of forty--eight. Mr. Hormel literally

- f>;1;ap:ved out, and was about to go west and enter into the &Jqy~ry busine~s, when Dr. Mansfield came to his rescue f-Pid offered him free office room till he could get on his ~~~.. When he did get a start, his rise was meteoric, for,

_,. like Erskine, he arose one morning to find that "from ¥P~hing he had an income of ten thousand a year." Mr. l;lQr_mel was lank and lean in appearance, a student who {levoted t'he nights to old ''Father Antics," the law. He Argued to the court with much success, and he was dis-~r~et and dexterous before a jury. He was kindhearted, g~nerous to a fault, and attracted friends by the brilliancy Qf his conversation, .and ruled them afterwards. It is said ~h9-t ohly a week bef_ore his death, and while he was in ex~p,t;<;:iating pain, he appeared before the court in an importan·f c'ase," arguing - legal principles, detecting at;uilogies· with the same readiness as when in his prime. li r lVIason P. Mills, ,yvho died in 1896, had been a partner 9£ Horme1, and was a brilliant lawyer of many parts. He was ,born in Connecticut, coming west at eighteen, and in a Jew years fitted himself for ¢e bar. He was more or lc;ss engaged in politics, and connected with corporations and railroad litigation. Mr. Mills for many years was in partnership with C. B. Keeler who, like Hormel; · rose to ~ prominent place at the bar. Mr. · Keeler is a person of SI}Jall statue, and nervous; who when he turned on an opponent in a law suit, filled the court room with bitter in~~stive, scorn and fearless denunciation. He removed to <:;hicago ten years ago as counsel for the Milwaukee RailW:ay, and at once took a leading place at the front rank as <m attorney who could hold his own before the court as well as before the jury.

was for some time a teacher in the high schools of the state and was very successful in her professional work.

Professor Palmer is a member of the Baptist church, in which he is a deacon, and hi s fraternal affiliation is with the Knights of Pythias. He gives himself unreserv edly to his work as superintendent of schools and his own enthusiasm has inspired the t eachers to greater zeal. H e has also succeeded in securing in a greater degr ee the active inter est and cooperation of the parents of the children. The true teacher must always place the welfar e of those under his care above his personal desires a nd must be content to gh•e much without material r eward for so doing, but he finds compensation in the knowledge that he is not only aiding in making incli,·idnnl lives more effici ent and more happy but that he is also a factor in molding the life of his community and, perchance, of his st at e and nation. Professor Palmer hr~ s the added reward of the high esteem, confidence and goodwill of the people of 1\f :us halltown.

J U'DGE JAl\IES H . ROTHROCK.

The life r ecord of every honorable man constitutes a valuable contribution to the world's work, and the r ecord of Judge Rothrock contributed in large measure to the up building of his state, to the maintenance of its . political and legal status,. and to the l'! dvancement of its standards in many ways. His immediate ancestors wer e Americans, but back of the colonial period in American history was a Holland ancestry, connecting the f amily with the land of dikes. However, r epresentatives of the n ame took active and helpful part in the colonization of the n ew world and among the number wer e those who served in the Continental army.

Judge Rothrock was born in Milroy, l\Iiffiin county, P ennsylvania, June 1, 1829, his p arents being Joseph and Sarah (McKinney) Rothrock. In the mountainous section of P ennsylvania, Judge Rothrock spent the first nine years of his life, but in 1838 his parents removed with their family to Adams county, Ohio, and there he was r eared amid the wild scenes and environment of pioneer life. During his youthful days he worked upon the home farm and in a tannery, and his education was acquired through attendance at the district schools for about three months during the winter seasons. In 18,1.7, however , he h ad opportunity to continue his education as a student in Parker's Academy at New Richmond, Ohio, and ther e he prepared for college, subsequently attending Franklin College at New Athens, Ohio, for more than two y ears. In the middle of his junior year, however , he left that institution in order to become a law student in the office and under the direction of Hon. E. P. Evans of \Vest Union, Ohio, and after a thorough preliminary course of reading he was admitted to the bar at Columbus in 1854. H e then opened a law office in Greenfield, Highland county, Ohio, where he practiced for six :vears and during that time also served as prosecuting attorney of the connty for one t erm.

B efore leaving the Buckeye state Judge Rothrock w~s married on the 18th of October, 1855, at Millsboro, to Miss Anstie L. Foote, and they became the parents of three sons: Edward E. , J ames H. and George. In 1860 Judge Rothrock Lrought his family to Iowa, making Tipton his destination, and there he engaged


Iowa: Its History and Its Foremost Citizens 993

in law practice until after the outbreak of the Civil war. There came to him almost immediately appreciation of his worth and ability in the line of his profession and as a citizen, and he was elected to represent his district in the general assembly in 1861. '\Vhile a member of the house he served for a part of the time as speaker pro tern. -During the summer of 1862 an extra session was called for the purpose of passing a law allowing soldiers to vote when on the field, and at that time .Judge Rothrock was appointed lieutenant colonel of the Thirty-fifth Iowa Infantry. Without returning home he went into camp at Muscatine and in the following October proceeded to the front, spending the winter months in Tennessee, Kentucky .and at Cairo, Illinois. In the spring of 1863 the command became a part of the Fifteenth Army Corps under General Sherman and participated in the Vicksburg campaign. Much of the time .Colonel Rothrock had command of the rear guard of the army and frequently served as officer of the day. He commanded his regiment in the famous assault on the rebel fortifications May 22, 1863, and soon afterward became so ill with typhoid fever that he was forced to resign and return home. He had proven a brave and loyal soldier, never faltering in the face of any danger, and he inspired the men under him with much of his own courage, valor and loyalty.

As soon as he had sufficiently recovered, Judge Rothrock once more engaged in law practice in partnership with the late Judge W. P. Wolf. In 1866 he was elected to the bench of the district court and made such an excellent record in office that he was renominated by acclamation and indorsed by the opposing party. It is not difficult to read between the lines in this instance and know that his decisions were strictly fair and impartial and that he stood as the embodiment of the highest type of justice.

In 1876, when the legislature provided for a fifth judge on the supreme bench, Governor Kirkwood chose Mr. Rothrock for the position and in the following fall he was returned to the office by popular suffrage. His ten years' service on the district, bench had well qualified him for the still more onerous duties that devolved upon hip1 as supreme court judge . . He served as chief justice until the last day of December, 1896, when he voluntarily r etired, having declined to again become a candidate for the office. He was always an indefatigable student and his knowledge of the principles of jurisprudence was comprehensive and exact. He displayed, too, a rare combination of talent, learning, tact, patience and industry. He was a man of well balaU:ced intellect, of comprehensive general information, thoroughly familiar with the law and practice a~d possessed of an analytical mind and a self-control that enabled him to lose his individuality, his personal feelings , his prejudices and his peculiarities of disposition in the dignity, impartiality and equity of the office to which life, property, right and liberty must look for protection.

In 1881 . Judge Rothrock removed with his family to Cedar Rapids and upon his retirement from the bench became senior partner in · the law firm of Rothrock &

Grimm. He did not enter actively upon the work of the courtroom, but his opinions were of the greatest possible assistance to the younger members of the firm and his association with them was maintained until the time of his demise, which occurred January 14, 1899. Judge Rothrock was a man of fine physique, being six feet in height and weighing two hundred and thirty pounds when in his prime. He talked entertainingly upon any question which he discussed and kept silent if any point was raised with which he was not familiar. In this way he gained the opinions of others and was constantly broadening his own knowledge. He read

widely and thought deeply, and while his mental powers placed him above the great majority of his fellows, they never felt any condescension in his attitude toward them; on the contrary, he was always appreciative of the worth in others and endeavored to bring out the best in those with whom he was associated. He was devoted to his family and found his greatest happiness in ministering to their pleasure and welfare. It is difficult to find one who in so many relations measures up to the highest standards, but such was the career of Judge Rothrock, and the high and honorable course which he marked out for himself was always closely followed. Sixteen years have come and gone since he passed away, yet many who were his associates still cherish his memory, and his example remains as a guiding influence in the lives of some with whom he came in contact.

A. F. PIKE.

For a number of years A. F. Pike, of Eden township, Marshall county, has been actively interested in the improvement of the live stock raised in the county. He was born in Polk county, four miles sout.h of Maxwell, Story county, on the 31st of January, 1877, a son of Francis Pike, who was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, in 1833 and when twenty-one years of age removed to Illinois. In 1870 he took up his residence in Polk county, Iowa, upon the farm where he now lives· surrounded by all the comforts of life and honored and esteemed by those who have been associated with him. He married Miss Sarah Ann Nally, who was born in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1837, and when quite yo•mg accompanied her parents to Illinois, when her · marriage occurred. To !Mr. and Mrs. Pike were born five

. children: A. F., of this review; Elizabeth, who died in infancy; Mrs. Mary Catharine Turner, who is living south of M.axwell; Mrs. Lulu Minear, of Medford, Oregon; and Mrs. Emma May Funk, who lives at Mitchellville, Polk county. All of the children were born and reared in the last named county.

A. F. Pike grew to manhood in his native county and there attended the public schools. Under the instruction of his father he early became familiar with the work that falls to the lot of the farmer and stock-raiser and when twenty-three years of age removed to State Center township, Marshall county, where he r emained until the spring in 1907. He then purchased the Eden View Stock Farm in Eden township, Marshall county, and has since devoted himself assiduously to the cultivation

. of the soil and the· raising of fine stock. H e owns a herd of full bloodC'd shorthorn cattle, as well as other grades of cattle, and also raises good Poland China hogs. As all of his stock is of superior quality it finds a ready sale and brings an unusually good price. He is enterprising and progressive and has contributed not a little to the development of the county along agricultural lines, especially as regards its stock-raising interests.

Mr. Pike was married on the 10th of January, 1900, to Lulu Florence Walker, who was born in Illinois on the 22d of September, 1877, a daughter of Charles F . Walker, an early settler of Marshall county, who was born on · the 1st of August, 1834, and whose death occurred at Rhodes, Iowa, in 1901. He married Miss Mary Jane Thomas, a native of Pennsylvania, born July 19, 1845, who is still living and is making her home with Mr. and 1Mrs. Pike. To Mr. and Mrs. Walker were
