JUDGE S. J. PETTIBONE.—Upon the resignation of Judge McCann in 1854, Governor
Bigler appointed S. J. Pettibone to fill the unexpired term. He was a miner, and
lived near Forest City. His legal attainments were not of a high order, though
he held the office of justice of the peace at the time of his appointment, and
had sat as one of the associate judges in the court of sessions with his
predecessor. He also resigned in October, 1854, not considering the office
suitable to his tastes or sufficiently remunerative. He was succeeded by Judge
P. C. Schaffer, who occupied the bench until the election of his successor, in
the fall of 1855.
