HON. CHARLES B. GARNSEY, Judge of the County Court of Will County, was elected 
to the office he now holds in 1882, and at the conclusion of his first term of 
office, in 1886, was re-elected. He was born in Livingston County, N. Y., 
October 25, 1842, and is a son of N. B. and Emily Garnsey. The father was a 
native of Saratoga County, but was educated in Massachusetts and adopted the 
occupation of farming. Judge Garnsey came to Will County in May, 1859, and has 
practically made Joliet his home ever since. His literary education was 
obtained in the East, and his legal studies pursued at the Chicago Law School, 
from which he was graduated in 1862. He entered the One Hundredth Illinois 
Infantry, July 30, 1862, and served through the war, with his command. In 1865 
Mr. Garnsey was admitted to the bar of this State, and at once entered upon 
the practice of his profession in the city where he has since practiced 
continually. In 1877 he became associated with A. F. Knox, under the style of 
Garnsey & Knox, the partnership still existing. He was Corporation Couusel of 
the city of Joliet for two years. Our subject was married in Wilmington, 
November 4, 1867, to Miss Mary A. Henderson. Mrs. Garnsey, who is an educated 
and refined woman, is a daughter of John D. Henderson, an old merchant of 
Wilmington, who is still living in that town. They have two sons—John H. and 
C. B., Jr., both of whom are now in school and will receive excellent 
educational advantages as they advance in years and knowledge. Judge Garnsey 
belongs to the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Joliet Commandery, No. 4.
