Q, IN MEMORIUM It is with deep sorrow that ths members of the Adams County Bar Association have Warned ot ths passing of Judge Ihi vid E Smith, long a fellow member of thia bar. Judge Smith was born at Monteauma. Ohio on law-ember 20. IM? Hut came to Adams county aa a boy. He attended the Indiana university law M-hool and was admitted to the bar tndhe year 1991. He entered the practice of the law in Decatur in the year 1x93 and continued in the practice here until the year I*l9. excepting the sis years he served as Judge of the Adams Circuit Court. In 1*94 he was elected prosecuting attorney ot the 34th Judicial District then comprised of Adame and Jay counties. which office he filled for four years. In the year 1912 he was elected Judge of the Adams Circuit Court and served six years as * .'ndgts In the year 1919 he moved to Fort Wayne and conttn-1 ued there in the practice of the ( law until his death on May 20 1939. Judge Smith was long prominent | In Masonry. He served aa Worshipful .Master of the Decatur Masonic Lodge No 471 for some nine years On September 18. 1912 ~ he received the thirty-third degree in .Masonry at Philadelphia.
