   J. Shannon Nave, a prominent attorney of Fountain county, Attica, the oldest
child of John and Hannah J. (Shannon) Nave, was born in this county September
17, 1850. He was reared on his father's farm, and educated at Indiana
University, at Bloomington, graduating in the scientific course in the class of
1872. In 1871-2 he attended law lectures at Michigan University, and in April of
the latter year, his father dying, he came home and superintended the farm until
November. He then entered the office of Marshall Milford, of Attica, and
remained till May, at which time he formed a law partnership with his cousin,
Columbus Nave. In 1877 this was dissolved, and he continued the business alone
two years, doing but little, however, as he was in failing health and laboring
under the pressure of other duties. In 1878 he was elected to the lower house of
the Indiana legislature by the democrats of Fountain county. He served on the
following committees: claims, mines and mining, and enrolled bills. Mr. Nave's
party had made the redistricting of the state an issue of the canvass, and
during this session brought forward a bill for that purpose. Mr. Nave and two
other democrats, not satisfied with its features, voted against it as originally
introduced, and compelled their colleagues to agree to its amendment, when they
changed their votes the following day. Mr. Nave was the nominee of the
democratic party of Fountain and Warren counties for state senator in 1880, but
was defeated for that office. In 1879 he associated Benjamin F. Hegler with
himself in the law firm of Nave & Hegler. Mr. Nave was married September 30,
1879, to Miss Jennie I. Rice, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the
Hon. Thomas N. Rice, of Rockville.
