JUDGE SANDERSON
GEORGE C. SANDERSON was born in England, but
came to the United States when quite a young man, and settled near Dayton, Ohio, where he
married. He emigrated to this county in the year 1829, and engaged in the occupation of
teaching school, which he followed most of the time during life. He was a successful and
popular teacher, and in that vocation did a great deal of good.
In 1834, Mr. Sanderson was elected one of the associate judges of the Carroll Circuit
Court; which position he continued to hold under repeated elections until the adoption of
the Constitution. He was a man of stern integrity, an upright and honest judge.
He died at his residence, six miles east of Delphi, on the 25th day of
October, 1859.
