   JUDGE K. C. RONALDS. Long and varied experience in legal jurisprudence is not
sufficient to fit a man for the high office of Judge of the County Court, for he
must also be possessed of sound judgment, an analytical turn of mind and a keen
insight into human nature. Such qualities, combined with a high sense of honor
and a thorough grounding in the various cases which form precedence for all
judges, must ultimately work out to a dignified success. The Hon. K. C. Ronalds,
judge of the County Court of Saline county, Illinois, is one of the eminent
members of the Southern Illinois legal profession. He was born in Grayville,
White county, Illinois, June 6, 1878, and there received his education in the
common schools. He graduated from the high school in 1899, studied law in a law
office, and was admitted to the bar in 1900, and in the following year located
in Eldorado. He served as city attorney of Grayville for one term and in a like
capacity in Eldorado for a term, and was then elected and served as a member of
the Forty-fourth General Assembly from the fifty-first district. In 1911 he was
elected county judge of Saline county, and he has since held that office with
ability and dignity.

   In 1901 Judge Ronalds was united in marriage with Miss Blanche Westbrook, and
three children have been born to this union, namely: Marjory, who is five years
old; Lucille, seven years of age; and Nairive W., who has reached the age of
ten. Judge Ronalds is engaged in a private practice under the firm name of
Ronalds & Grable, and they represent a number of the leading fire and life
insurance companies.
