Since the organization of the county more than three hundred
attorneys at law, a large majority of them non-residents of the county,
have been admitted to practice in its various courts. Their names are
found scattered through a dozen volumes or more of dusty records, some
of them not indexed, and the work of compiling a list of admissions has
required the expenditure of much time and patience - the scanning, in
fact, of each volume, page by page. The following roll is the result of
such researches. It is believed to be nearly perfect, and cannot be
otherwise than valuable for reference, showing, as it does, the names,
places of residence (so far as learned), and date of admission of the
more than three hundred men referred to. Present resident attorneys in
active practice are designated by italics.
