Minor, bio The Centennial History of Erie County, Ohio by H. L. Peeke, Vol 1, pg. 372-374 Claude J. Minor. The present judge of the municipal court of Sandusky was born August 12th, 1883, in White County, Arkansas. At six years of age his parents removed to Huron Township, Erie County, Ohio, where he spent his youth. His father, John Henry Minor, was born near Racine, Wisconsin, and followed the avocation of a timber inspector for the Iron Mountain Railroad Company. He was also a Justice of the Peace. When he came to Ohio he engaged in farming and threshing and took great interest in politics, holding several township offices. Judge Minor's mother, Mary Jane Ray Minor, was born near Millbank, Ontario, Canada, on September 9th, 1852. She was the oldest daughter of John and Mary Ray and was the mother of six children - Clarence, Ina, Maud, Claude, Chloe and Alva. Maud and Claude were twins. Claude attended the Milan township district school and also the Huron township schools. He graduated from the Huron High School and then attended Ohio Northern University, The Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana, Baldwin College at Berea, and for his legal education he went to Ann Arbor and Western Reserve Law School at Cleveland. After having been raised on a farm he taught school for six years in Huron and Perkins townships. He was admitted to the bar in June 1913, and opened the office he still occupies in the Whitworth Block in 1914. He was married April 24th, 1915, to Ethel House, daughter of Mr and Mrs Lewis Watson House of Perkins township. Like her husband she was a school teacher. They have a son, Stanton Claude Minor born February 16th, 1916, and a daughter, Murland Jane Minor, born June 12th, 1923. Judge Minor was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Erie County in November, 1918, and served one term. He was appointed by Governor Harry Davis Municipal Judge of Sandusky to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Carl Clark and was elected November, 1923, for a full term. He is President of the Chappelle Creek Oil Company. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Congregational Church. He is of Scotch Irish descent. With such ancestry and associations he could not help making a great improvement in the court over which he presides and there are few who do not admit he has done so. ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 12:08:49 EST From: CrowSH@aol.com Subject: Claude J.
