RECOLLECTIONS AND SKETCHES 897

From my personal knowledge of Judge james. I can readily endorse this state-ment. For many yean he was a member of the firm of Montgomery. Reed & j~. composed of B. F. Montgomery. joseph R. Reed, and W. C. j ames. Mr.

i;:e$ died at ·Coun· luffs in 1699. Jefferson P Cassady one of the early and notable lawyen and public men of , uncil Bluffs, wu rn in Fayette County. Indiana. in 1626. He fitted himself fo r the bar, came to Iowa in 165 I. and settled in Fort Des Moina;. now the City of Des Moines. Here he was elected to his lint official position. that of Deputy T reuurer and Recorder of the County. the two oflice$ being united. At the end of his term. in 1653. he removed to Council Blu.!h and entered upon a successful practice. In 1656 he was elected County judge, aerving with efficiency in that position for four yean. Of thit service D. C. Bloomer .ay.:

. The election of Judge Cassady began .. new era in the management of county affairs. A careful economy marked his admlniltratlon. The expenaes_ of the county were rapidly reduced; waate and eJ:travaga.nce were carefully avoided; the resources of the county were clo8ely hUlbanded, and every pol81ble effort mue to place Us II.nancee In a better condition. The charges of corruption and per· sonal flvorltism In tbe county judge'l omce now wholly' ceased, and tbe people generally were well aaUslled tba~thelr Interests would be aafe in the handa of Judge Canady. .

Nothing more forcible than this could be said of Judie Cassady's ability and integrity.

In 1661 he was elected one of the Board of Directors of the Council Blu.lfs 6: St. Jo~h Railroad. Upon the establi.hment of a branch of the State Bank of Iowa at Council Bluff •• in 1660. he was elected one of its directors. In 1864, upon the organization of the Fairview Cemetery Association. he was elected one of its first directors. In 1665 he was elected Vice Presid.ent of the Council Blu.lf$ 6: St. Joaeph Railroad. In 1866 he was one of the commissioner5 for the erection of the .new courthouse. In the fall of 1667 he was elected to the State Senate. and served with marked efficiency in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Ceneral Assem-blies. He was a Democrat ip. politics and in 1672 wu the candidate of his party for Auditor of State.

F ronl what has been said. it is apparent that much of Mr. Cassady's life was devoted to public affain. which naturally interfered to a considerable extent with the close pursuit of his profession. He was one of the most useful and conspicuow public men of early Iowa.

Frank Sired wu a contemporary with the early lawyers that have been named. He was a man of influence and action. both as a lawyer and public man. I am not able to state the precise time when he came to Council Bluffs. but from the best information I can gather. I think in about 1852. He took an active part in politict:. was one of the organizers of the Republican Party in 1656. and a dele~ gate to the first Republican State Convention. held in that year. In 1857. at the

profession. and accordingly begao his studies while yet in his native to .... n. and in 18Sf. after remoying to the west, was admitted 10 the bar at Des Moines. Iowa. Removing to Council Bluffs in April of the

• following year (1853). he there fo rmed a I'artne~hip with Mr. H. 0, johnson. and established hinlsclf in ti:1e practice of his profession. He also established a land agency. and engaged in the purt:hasc and sale of real estate.

As a lawyer. he $00 1'1 became widely and favorably known. and in ISS8 his feilow-citizens, recognizing his financial and judicial ability, elected him 10 Ihe office of county judge. II is but due to say that this honor was wholly un50ugh t by Mr. Casady. Each political pany had put forth ils cand idate for the position. but the people being d iss.1 tisfi ed " 'ith the nominees repudiated Ihe nOlUinalion~, ~nd ... ith. out dinent or reg.tTd to IJOl iticai Ilft' jllllin:lI elected Mr. Cuady. Under Ihe law as it exisled at that time, the county judge had' fun management of all the financial affairs of the county, and also of the probate court, 50 that the office was :l.\tended by a vast amount of responsi lt ili ty and hard work. Not. withstanding this fact, Judge Clud~' t:ontinued ~he

offic~ for (WI) years, and at the nme time conducted his own private busfneu, which, until the year 1868, consined largely of real-eslale open-lions. During this last named year he was elected to represent the countie~ of Portawallamic, Mills, Fremont aDd Cau in the state senate for a lerm of four years.

Judge Caudy hu always shown a worthy publi c; . spiriledneu. and has heartily sympathi:ed with .11 local improvements and enterprises. He has been upecially ilctive in railroad operations, and on the IJlh of Jul),. 1&6" he was elected a director of the Council Bluffs and 51. Joseph railroad, and after_ ward was clCclcd president of the road.

In political sentiment he is a democ:rat. and has taken an active pari in the workings of that puty. He has frequently been a delegate to the state con· ventions. In ISp he was the candidate of his party for M;"Ite allditor, and although he ran far ahead of his ticket, the state was so overwhelmingly republi. c.,n that lIe ,,'as defeated.

In his religious communion, Judge Casady is identified with the Presbyterian church, and is a worthy member, He has Ihree children, two $On, aod one daughter.
