JUDGE BIOGRAPHIES, Henry County, Missouri ==================================================================== JUDGE, Albert - b: 1836 Baltimore, MD source: 1883 History of Henry Missouri , National Historical Co. - page: 522 residence: Clinton Twp Albert Judge, grocer, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, November 30, 1836, while the family were in that city as refugees from Charleston, South Carolina, which at that time was stricken with yellow fever. They returned, however, to Charleston shortly after the birth of Albert. His father, James Judge, a native of England, was there raised, and in 1830 he emigrated to America. After a limited residence in New York City he went to Florida, resided there one year, and thence to Charleston, South Carolina, where he was engaged in merchandising till 1844. Then, with his family, he removed to St. Charles County, Missouri, of which county he was a prominent farmer. During the late war he was much abused by the Federals for being a Southern sympathizer, and was held a prisoner from the spring of 1864 till December, 1865, at different times in the prisons of St. Louis, Missouri, Alton, Illinois, and Jefferson City, Missouri, besides being fined $10,000 and having his property confiscated. He is now deceased. Albert's mother, formerly Mary A. French, was also born in England and there married Mr. Judge. Her death occurred while on a visit to Cincinnati, Ohio, in November, 1864. Young Judge grew up on a farm in St. Charles County, Missouri, and attended during 1855-6-7 the Urbana University. After returning home he continued farming and also merchandising to some extent till 1866, at that time coming to Henry County. Here he still resumed farming till August, 1880, when he engaged in his present business, the firm being Vandiver & Judge. They were associated together till April, 1881, when the name became Judge & Comer, so remaining for eight months. Since that time Mr. Judge has been alone in the business. His stock of goods is very complete, and the large patronage he is receiving is a sufficient guarantee of the success of his business. He was united in marriage April 22, 1862, to Miss Kate Gaiter, of St. Charles County, Missouri. They have three children: William A., Carrie B. and Charles E. Mr. J. is a member of the Masonic order. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
