Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   W. A. Tipton, attorney, Covington, became a member of the Fountain county bar
in 1862. He is a native of Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana, where he was
educated. In 1862, when he became a resident of Covington, he became associated
with Judge Thomas F. Davidson in the practice of law, and was with him for three
years. In 1865 he went to the State of Kansas, and returned in 1867. In 1870 he
again left Covington and went to Indianapolis, where he remained four years, and
again returned to Covington. In 1876 he became the candidate for the greenback
party for attorney-general of Indiana, but the party was yet too weak to elect
their candidates. The same party, in 1880, have nominated him candidate for
judge of the supreme court of the state. This question is as yet undecided.
