  EVERETT E. ELLINWOOD. Far more than average intelligence, a thorough
education, an intimate knowledge of the technicalities of law and a decided
liking for the arduous labors of the legal profession are necessary in order to
become distinguished at the bar. These qualifications are embodied in Everett E.
Ellinwood, the present most efficient United States attorney for Arizona
Territory. He comes of a family that trace their ancestry back to the year 1720
to the Scotch-Irish people. He was born at Rock Creek, Ashtabula County, Ohio,
July 22, 1862, to John P. and Cornelia (Sperry) Ellinwood, the former of whom
was born in New York State and the latter in Ohio. John P. Ellinwood was a
professor of mathematics in a Cincinnati educational institution for a number of
years and later became superintendent of the public schools at Oil City,
Pennsylvania, which position he filled with marked ability for a number of
years. From Oil City he removed to Peoria, Ill., in 1876, and there he continued
his pedagogic labors, but finally retired from the active duties of life and now
resides at Rock Creek, Ohio. He became well and very favorably known as an
educator through the Central States, and to his thorough methods of instruction
many of the rising professional and business men of to-day owe their success. He
and his wife reared a family of three children, of whom the subject of this
sketch is the youngest. He received his literary education in Knox College at
Galesburg, Ill., and in 1885 he took up the study of law in the office of
McKenzie & Calkins of Galesburg, and later with Rice & Rice of Peoria, being
admitted to the bar at Springfield, Ill., June 19, 1889, before the Supreme
Court. In the fall of that year he entered the law department of the University
of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he completed the two years' course in one year.
After graduating in June, 1890, he spent a few months in Los Angeles,
California, but August 17, 1890, arrived in Flagstaff, Arizona Territory. About
six months later he formed a partnership with T. G. Norris, the firm taking the
name of Norris & Ellinwood, and they were successfully and congenially
associated in the practice of their profession until May 8, 1893, when Mr.
Ellinwood was appointed United States attorney for Arizona Territory, when they
dissolved partnership. Mr. Ellinwood has taken an active interest in politics
since he has been a resident of Arizona. He was a delegate to the National
Democratic convention of 1892 and was a member of the notification committee of
the Cleveland and Stephenson nomination. Socially Mr. Ellinwood is a member of
the I. O. O. F. and the K. of P. He was married November 17, 1886, to Miss
Minnie Walkey, a native of Rock Creek, Ohio, by whom he has two interesting
children, Cornelia and Ralph E.
