Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1902 — Justices and Constables. [ARTICLE]

Justices and Constables.

The new justices elected io Rensselaer and Marion Tp., are, for Rensselaer, J. M. Troxell, to succeed himself, 8. C. Irwin to succeed J. A. Burnham, and for the township at large, 3. E. Yeoman, to succeed W. H. Churchill. They will all qualify for their offices. The method of procedure, after election, is for the connty clerk to forward to secretary of state the

names of all who are elected justices, and the secretary of state issues their commissions on application. So far very few of those elected in the county have had the fact certified to the county clerk. It is the business of the election inspectors to do this but for the most part they have neglected that duty.

Those elected constables in Rensselaer and Marion Tp., are Christie Vick, Wm. Childers and Lyman Zea. The county clerk issues the commissions of constables. So far Mr. Vick is the only one of the three named who has qualified; and is the only one of the new constables in the whole county to do so.
