Read More	(From "History of Wabash County, Indiana" by Clarkson Weesner, pub. 1914, pp - 577-578) JUDGE ALFRED HARVEY PLUMMER, judge of the Twenty-seventh Judicial Circuit of Indiana, has served Wabash county in various capacities, and was first elected to his present position in November, 1903, being re-elected for a second term in 1909. His service on the bench has been characterized by the same qualities which have always commended him to the people-—fearlessness in the doing of that which he has deemed right, great industry and ability of the highest rank. His work has been such as to win him the enthusiastic friendship of the bar, as well as the confidence of the public at large, and it is doubtful if Wabash county has had a more popular jurist. He is a native of Knox county, Ohio, and was born February 5, 1848, a son of Franklin W. and Eliza E. (Walter) Plummer, farming people. His father died in 1860, leaving the mother with seven children, of whom Judge Plummer was the second in order of birth. The early education of Judge Plummer was secured in the district schools, and when still but a lad, in April. 1864, he enlisted for service in the Union army, becoming a member of Company G, 142nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. During the summer following his enlistment, he served in the Army of the Potomac between Petersburg and Richmond, but his regiment being what was known as a short regiment "eecruited from the National Guard". He was discharged September 2, 1864. He subsequently re-enlisted in Company F, 198th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, but had served but comparatively a short time when peace was declared and he received his honorable discharge. Returning to his home, the boy soldier attended high school for one year at Fredericktown, Ohio, and in 1866 came to Indiana, being for one year employed as a farm hand. In 1867 he went to White county, this state, where he lived for seven years, teaching school during the winter months and clerking in general stores in summers, and in 1875 returned to Miami county. There he continued to teach school in the winter terms, while in the summer months he read law in the office of Judge James M. Brown, and in 1881 was admitted to the bar, commencing practice at Roann. He first came to Wabash in November, 1886, as deputy prosecuting attorney of Wabash county, and served as such until February, 1889, when his preceptor, Judge Brown, was appointed to the bench for Miami county, and Mr. Plummer was appointed prosecutor for Wabash county. He was elected to this office in November, 1890, and again in November, 1892, and served until November, 1894, following which he again engaged in private practice. Probably no lawyer who has practiced at the Wabash county bar comprehended the ethics of his profession better than he. His clients knew him to be a man of honor and integrity, and none feared at his hands any underhanded dealing or chicanery. This reputation had much to do with his election, in November, 1902, to his present high judicial office. He took his position on the bench in November, 1903, and was reelected six years later, now serving his second term. In the respect that, is accorded to such men as Judge Plummer, who have fought their own way to success through unfavorable environments, we find an unconscious recognition of the intrinsic worth of a character which can not only endure so rough a test, but gain new strength through the discipline. Judge Plummer held distinctive precedence as an eminent lawyer and a valiant and patriotic soldier, and as a man of affairs has wielded a wide influence. A most determined individuality, an invincible courage and a strong mentality have so entered into his composition as to render him a natural leader of men and a director of opinion. His judicial record is one which confers honor and dignity upon the history of the bench of the state and his life has been consistent with itself and its possibilities in every particular. He has long been a valued member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and his fraternal connection is with the Knights of Pythias. Politically, the Judge is a stalwart republican. On October 27, 1877, Judge Plummer was married to Miss Inez Murphy, daughter of Dr. Reuben Murphy, then a resident of Roann, Indiana, and four children have been born to this union: Margaret, a popular teacher in the Wabash public schools; Nellie, who married Flavius J. Harvey; Franklin W., and Howard E.
