Memorial for George T. PATTISON (1926)
As mentioned in Hendricks County Circuit Court Civil Order Book Volume 75 (October 1925 - October 1926), the death of George T. Pattison on December 31, 1925 led the Hendricks County Bar to issue this memorial about him in the circuit court minutes of January 5, 1926:
"George T. Pattison, who for almost forty years was a member of this bar, passed away at his home in Danville, December 31st, 1925, at the age of 68 years. He was born in Henry County, Indiana. He attended the public schools and the Normal School at Lebanon, Ohio, and taught for a few years. He came to Hendricks County about the year of 1883 and entered the Central Normal College as a student. Two years later he graduated from that institution and became a member of the faculty, having charge of the business department of the school. For a time he read law in the office of the late Judge John V. Hadley. He was married to Jennie Downard, in 1886. She with one son and two daughters survive him. He retired from his position as instructor and gave all his time to his chosen profession. He was for a time a partner of John W. Trotter in abstracting and law, the firm name being Trotter & Pattison. Some time after the dissolution of that partnership he was a member of the firm of Enloe & Pattison.
He was a reliable and conscientious attorney and an exemplary citizen in all walks of life. He was greatly attached to his home and was a model husband and father. He was during all his residence in this county a faithful and constant member of the Methodist Church, and for many years a member of the Official Board of that institution. He served as a Director of the Central Normal College from the date of its incorporation and rendered valuable service in that capacity. For many years he was a member of the Order of Odd Fellows and stood high in the ranks of that order."

Memorial for Charles Virgil SEARS (1955)
As mentioned in Hendricks County Circuit Court Civil Order Book Volume 103 (September 1954 - October 1955), the death of Charles Virgil Sears on May 29, 1955 led the Hendricks County Bar to issue this memorial about him in the circuit court minutes of June 1, 1955:
"He was a native of Hendricks County, having been born near Danville on February 17, 1875. Here Virgil lived during most of his life.
He graduated from Danville High School and Central Normal College, and later continued his education at National Normal University in Lebanon, Ohio.
Virgil began the practice of law in Hendricks County in 1903 and practiced in this county actively until his retirement about 1946.
He was active in political affairs and held the office of Prosecuting Attorney for Hendricks County from 1903 to 1907, and again in 1911 and 1912. From 1934 to 1942, he was Hendricks County Republican Chairman.
At the time of his death, he was the second oldest member of the Hendricks County Bar.
He had been a member of the Board of Directors of the Danville State Bank for the past twenty years, and for the last fifteen years, had been President of that Bank. He had served as town attorney for Danville and Clayton, and also as attorney for Hendricks County.
Virgil was a conscientious student of the law and one of the most capable attorneys that Danville has produced. He was quiet and unassuming and to become acquainted with him was to respect and admire him and his knowledge of the law.
He had the confidence of all of those with whom he came in contact; and his entire life can be pointed to as an example of any young lawyer who aspires to be a capable, honest and well-respected attorney.
In his passing, our profession generally, and the Hendricks County Bar in particular, have lost an affable, courteous, quiet, learned and able member.
The members of his family have lost a kind and loving husband and father; and the community has lost an outstanding and valuable citizen."

NEWSPAPER TIDBIT: Eel River Township Resident On New Mexico Reservation (1923)
from The Republican (Danville, Indiana) – issue of Thursday, November 1, 1923 – page 1, column 2:
SON OF HENDRICKS IN INDIAN SERVICE
Carl A. Gossett has been appointed Superintendent of the Jacarilla Apache Indian reservation in New Mexico and took charge on the first day of October. Mr. Gossett was raised in Eel River township and is a son of Thomas A. Gossett, at one time county superintendent of schools in this county. Mr. Gossett attended the Central Normal College for some time and entered the Indian Service a good many years ago as a teacher in the Moqui reservation in Arizona. He was later principal of the Yauktown Boarding school in South Dakota and when that school was abolished he took up clerical work in the agency office. For several years past he has been the chief clerk at the Jacarilla reservation and now steps into the highest place on that reservation as a reward for efficient and long service. The headquarters for this reservation is Dulce, New Mexico. Those who know Mr. Gossett have no doubt of his ability to make good in his new position which is one that requires ability of a high order, as the duties involve business dealings with outside whites, school work on the reservation, welfare work among Indians and unlimited patience and good nature.

NEWSPAPER TIDBIT: Guilford Township Teacher Sues For Salary (1900)
from the Jamestown Press (Jamestown, Indiana) – issue of Friday, June 8, 1900 – page 4, column 4:
The Teacher Won
The case of Alice E. Roberts vs. Oscar Hadley, trustee of Guilford township, Hendricks county, tried in the Hendricks circuit court last week, resulted in the finding for the plaintiff of $150.75, the amount of the salary for the term of teaching contracted for, although she was discharged by the trustee before her term was finished. The law does not allow the employment of married women as teachers, but this lady, then Miss Thomas, entered into a secret marriage with Mr. Roberts, a student then attending the Danville college, shortly after she engaged to Trustee Hadley as teacher, but the contract for her engagement as teacher had not been signed until after she was married. Hadley has asked for a new trial.
