Septimus J. Hanna - Post-war Study of Law and Marriage To Camilla Turley

Post-war Study of Law and Marriage To Camilla Turley

On his return from the army Captain Hanna resumed the study of law, previously begun, and in 1866, was admitted to the Illinois bar. Locating later at Council Bluffs, Iowa, he married there, in 1869, Miss Camilla Turley, a daughter of one of the old and leading citizens of that city. Here he began the practice of law. At the expiration of his first year of practice and while only twenty-three years of age, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of judge of the then County Court, holding the office a year and a half. He also held the position of city attorney of that city for several years, and also deputy United States district attorney. From those days on, he would be known as Judge Hanna.

Famous quotes containing the words post-war, study, law, marriage and/or camilla:

    Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.
    Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

    I would advise you Sir, to study algebra, if you are not already an adept in it: your head would be less muddy, and you will leave off tormenting your neighbours about paper and packthread, while we all live together in a world that is bursting with sin and sorrow.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Who does not know history’s first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.
    Victoria (1819–1901)

    He could walk, or rather turn about in his little garden, and feel more solid happiness from the flourishing of a cabbage or the growing of a turnip than was ever received from the most ostentatious show the vanity of man could possibly invent. He could delight himself with thinking, “Here will I set such a root, because my Camilla likes it; here, such another, because it is my little David’s favorite.”
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
