    Edward T. Dixon. Although a native son of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Judge
Dixon's entire professional life has been spent in Cincinnati, where he is held
in the highest esteem by the public. He is a lawyer of ability and his service
as judge of the Common Pleas Court demonstrates that he is possessed of the high
qualities of a jurist. He is of calm unruffled demeanor, fair and impartial in
his decisions, serving only the cause of justice as revealed by the evidence
presented to him. He is learned in the law, but does not rely upon his own
construction of its technicalities, never deciding an intricate point without
close study of previous published decisions and all law bearing upon the
controverted point. Judge Dixon was born in Milwaukee, Wis., February 26, 1884,
a son of James and Elizabeth (McDonald) Dixon. Here he received his early
education in the parochial schools and later attended the Marquette University,
at Milwaukee, Wis., from which he was graduated with the class of 1902, with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then came to Cincinnati and entered the
Cincinnati Law School, and graduated from this institution with the class of
1906, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Upon completing his studies Judge
Dixon, began his practice alone, and after continuing in this manner for a time
formed a partnership with A. L. Herrlinger, with whom he remained until June,
1918. In January, 1919, he was appointed by Governor Cox to fill a vacancy on
the Common Pleas bench of Hamilton county. In the fall of 1920, he was elected
to the Bench, and continues in this office at the present time. Politically,
Judge Dixon is a stanch Democrat, and takes an active interest in the affairs of
his party. Fraternally, he is a member of the County, State and National Bar
Associations, the Knights of Columbus, the Irish Fellowship Club, Elks and the
Eagles. Judge Dixon affiliates with St. Patrick's church, and is interested in
all its works. On October 25, 1911, Judge Dixon was married to Miss Florence
Phelan, daughter of Edward and Catherine (Heiner) Phelan, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
To this union have been born three children: Donald, Gordon and Mary Catherine.
