William H. Lueders, judge of the probate court, and one of the distinguished men of Hamilton county, was born in Cincinnati, July 5, 1865, a son of Henry J. Lueders, who, during the war between the States, enlisted in the Union army at President Lincoln's first call, and served through the entire war as a member of the Thirty-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Judge Lueders attended the public schools, and the Cincinnati Law School, being graduated from the latter in 1886 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Immediately thereafter, he began the practice of law, and he, Alfred Yaple and Herman M. Moos, were associated together until Judge Lueders was appointed prosecutor of Police Court, in 1897, an office which he held for three years. Then followed his election as judge of the Police Court. Following this honor came his election to the bench of the probate court. In 1900, he was elected judge of the police court, and served until February 9, 1909. He is a Thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason and Past Potentate of the Mystic Shrine. Judge Lueders also is a member of the Grand Lodge of Ohio Knights of Pythias. Almost from the first, Judge Lueders has been a leader at the bar, and it did not take the people of Cincinnati long to discover the sterling characteristics of the man, as the various honors bestowed upon him, distinctly prove, and his record is one which reflects credit and dignity upon him and upon the city of his nativity. His interest in the various charities of our city is well known. He is serving his fourth term as probate judge. At the last two elections of probate judge, the opposing political party did not name any opponent to him.
