Devendorf, Irving R., Herkimer, district attorney for Herkimer county, is a 
native of the town of Danube, Herkimer county, and after a preliminary 
education he began the study of law in the office of the Hon. George W. Smith, 
of Herkimer, and was admitted to the bar in October, 1880, and began practice 
in 1881, forming a partnership with A. J. Smith under the name of Devendorf & 
Smith.  Mr. Devendorf was elected district attorney in 1888, and was re 
elected in 1891.  He is proving eminently successful in his office, and as an 
indication of his fitness and ability, it might be mentioned that almost every 
indictment during his term has resulted in a conviction.  Mr. Devendorf's 
ancestors have lived in this part since the early settlement of the State, and 
his great-grandfathers on both sides took part in the Revolutionary War.
