   CHARLES E. BARRETT, of Briggs & Barrett, attorneys and counselors at law, was
born November 28, 1858, in Indianapolis, Ind., a son of James W. and Pleasant M.
(Dennis) Barrett, who were natives respectively of Virginia and Ohio. When three
years of age he removed with his parents to New Boston, Ill., where he attended
school until the age of eleven years, when he entered the wholesale and retail
house of J. C. Bell & Sons, as clerk. For four years he continued working for
this firm, but his leisure time after and before business hours was passed in
hard study. In 1873, he entered the law office of New & Poulson, of Greenfield,
Ind., and after reading two years was accepted as a partner in the business.
March 28, 1881, Miss Cornelia, daughter of F. E. and Julia (Martin) Glidden,
became his wife; and after a lucrative practice of three years at Greenfield,
Mr. Barrett removed to Sullivan, where his ability has secured him a comfortable
revenue from the practice of his profession. In politics he is a Democrat, and
is at present one of the leading candidates of his party for the position of
Supreme Court Reporter. Mrs. Barrett is a native of Rush County, Ind., born
April 27, 1862, and is the mother of one son—Fred E., now two years old. Mr.
Barrett came to Sullivan a stranger, with the recommendations of some of the
leading attorneys and citizens of the State. He brought with him a library said
to be one of the best in the State, which, together with his partners, Mr.
Briggs, is one of the best in the West.
