George L. Blum, Judge of the County Court of Eau Claire county, was born 
October 6, 1869, at Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  He received his education in 
the public schools of Eau Claire and at the University of Wisconsin, 
graduating from the law department in 1893, and was admitted to the bar 
the same year.  In February, 1895, he formed a partnership in Eau Claire 
with John B. Fleming under the firm name of Fleming & Blum, which 
arrangement continued until January 1, 1908, since which time he has 
practice alone.  He was elected Judge of the County Court in April, 1901, 
and is now -- 1914 -- serving his fourth term of six years.

Judge Blum married Margaret D. McGillis, of Eau Claire, and they are the
