April 26, 1888 
Athens Messenger 
Athens Ohio 

Judge J. P.  Bradbury the candidate for the Supreme bench is personally, or 
by enviable  reputation, well known to nearly all the readers of the Messenger. 
He is in  life's prime, his age being fifty. He is a native of Gallia county 
but has for  many years been a resident of Pomeroy, Meigs county, where he 
began legal  practice in April, 1866. He was elected prosecuting attorney of 
Meigs county in  1869, and re-elected in 1871, serving two full terms. 

He was elected  Common Pleas Judge for the Third subdivision of the Seventh 
Judicial District in  1875 for an unexpired term; was re elected in 1876 and 
again in 1881. He was  election one of the Circuit Judges of the Fourth Circuit 
in 1884, and resigned  the Common Pleas Judgship and entered upon the duties 
of Circuit Judge in  February, 1885, and is still serving as Circuit Judge. In 
addition to his  brilliant reputation as a jurist, Judge Bradbury has an 
enviable record as a  soldier in the war for the suppression of the slave-
holders 
rebellion.
