Samuel E. Stough

Samuel E. Stough, now the judge of the thirteenth circuit and a man well known 
throughout the state of Illinois, has for more than two decades been an 
honored citizen of Morris.

Judge Stough is a native of the Buckeye state.  He was born in Williams 
county, Ohio, September 2, 1852, a son of J. S. Stough, a physician.  In 1858 
Dr. Stough moved with his family to Waterloo, Indiana, and it was there that 
Samuel E. was reared. His education, begun in the public schools of Waterloo, 
was carried forward at Springfield, Ohio, and later at Ann Arbor, Michigan.  
In the University of Michigan he pursued the study of law, and is a graduate 
of the law department of that institution with the class of 1877.  Immediately 
after his graduation he came to Illinois and located at Morris, where he began 
his professional career, a career which has been marked by signal success.  He 
has served three terms as state’s attorney, having been elected to the office 
in 1888, 1892 and 1896, and in 1897 he was honored by election to the office 
of judge of the thirteenth circuit, receiving these favors at the hands of the 
Republican party, of which he has always been an ardent supporter.  The Judge 
maintains a fraternal relation with the Knights of Pythias.

He was married in 1892 to Miss Jennie Garrett, and they are the parents of 
three children.
