Attorneys After the Civil War

	"Among the attorneys whose practices thrived in the post-Civil War 
period, were Judge Charles Upson and the Hon. Jonas McGowan, Noah P. 
Loveridge, who came to Coldwater in 1866, built a flourishing practice.  
Loveridge stood high among the lawyers of his day and served the district as 
Curcuit Judge.  Of Noah Loveridge's four sons, two appear in the 1895 list 
of Coldwater attorneys, Earnest and Henry C.  The latter, at the time of his 
death in 1934, was dean of Coldwater attorneys.  Judge John B. Shipman and 
John R. Champion both practiced law in Coldwater for nearly half a century.  
Others listed in the 1875 roll of Coldwater attorneys were David B. Dennis, 
Caleb D. Randall, Judge David Thompson, John W. Turner, W. J. Bowen, 
Franklin E. Morgan, Justin Lawyer, Gen. John G. Parkhurst, F. L. Skeels, 
Charles N. Legg, C. E. Thorton, H. H. Barlow, D. D. Wright, Simon B. 
Kitchel, L. T. N. Wilson and the pioneer attorney, Judge Ezbon G. Fuller.  
George A. Coe, attorney since 1838, died in 1869."
