Robert C. McBeth. The subject of this sketch, who has a state reputation in legal 
requirements, was born in Harrison County, Ohio, October 4, 1838. Here he was 
raised until his twenty-first year, having received a fair education, when he 
entered the law office of at that time, a prominent lawyer, G. W. McIlvaine, who, 
at this writing is one of the judges of the supreme court of Ohio. Judge McBeth, 
on the completion of his studies, was admitted to the bar at New Philadelphia, 
where he at once engaged in a successful practice, which he continued for some 
time, being prosecuting attorney of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, four years. At the 
end of that time, or at the close of the war, the western fever struck him and he 
came to Missouri, stopping a short time in Warsaw, Benton County, but finally 
settling in Clinton in the year 1866. He has held a prominent position at the 
Henry County bar for years, was for one term judge of the common pleas court, 
which had concurrent civil jurisdiction with the circuit court, but declining 
further service has since given his attention to the law. He has secured a very 
lucrative practice and is at this time at the height of his legal powers, a good 
speaker and an adept in legal technicalities. Judge McBeth is something of a 
politician, prominent in the council of the Republican party of his county and 
state, and has secured to himself a handsome competency.
