On the nomination of the Board of Commissioners of Johnson County, Indiana, he was appointed by Indiana Governor Otis R. Bowen on 19 February 1974, at the age of 17, as a Justice of the Peace to fill a vacancy of office in White River Township, Johnson County, Indiana.

He adjudicated civil small claims cases such as debt collection, landlord-tenant issues, and property damage. On his criminal docket, he heard cases such as violations of motor vehicle laws, violations of disturbing the peace and minor property disputes. Often, he held peace bond hearings and issued peace bonds which are now known in modern-day as protective orders. Of course, he officiated at weddings.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test to your profile on WikiTree. Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to start with yourself and add sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. 24 hours later, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.
Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun!
