Sellers, White Co., IN 1870 onward EMORY B. SELLERS Emory B. Sellers at fourteen years of age left his home and started life's battle on his own responsibility. He was born in Perry County, Ohio, July 4, 1851, and about the close of the Civil war came to White County, Indiana, and found work on a farm belonging to Josephus Lowe near Monon. To him an education was as much as a necessity to his future career. He attended the Brookston Academy, at intervals teaching school, his first term when seventeen years of age. He early determined that the law should be his permanent vocation, and began its study in the few night hours after a weary day of work. He took a course in the Chicago Law School at Chicago, was compelled to leave school on account of lack of funds, and in order to supply this need, among other things, he worked for a time as a brakeman on the Illinois Central Railway. On March 22, 1872, Mr. Sellers entered the law office of Hon. Alfred W. Reynolds at Monticello, and with that old time lawyer finally formed a partnership, which continued until the election of Mr. Reynolds to the Circuit Court Bench in 1888. In the meantime, in 1884, Mr. Sellers had been elected as State Senator from the counties of White, Carroll and Pulaski, serving through two sessions and then resigning to accept President Cleveland's appointment as United States District Attorney. He held that office until after the election of Benjamin Harrison as President, then returned to Monticello to continue his interrupted practice. From 1889 to 1900 Mr. Sellers was a partner with William E. Uhl, but since 1900 has conducted an individual business as a lawyer. For forty years Mr. Sellers has been the local attorney for the Monon and the Pennsylvania railroads, and for eighteen years has served the Wabash Railway in a similar capacity. Mr. Sellers is member of the National Conference on Uniform Laws, and belongs to the Indiana State and the American Bar Associations. He is a thirty-second degree Mason of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and in politics a democrat. -----W. H.

I have a question for the group to mull over. Is Emory B. Sellers born 1851 in Ohio the same as Bing Sellers born 1851, the son of Isaac Sellers and Mary Unknown? Isaac Sellers is the son of John Sellers and Martha and Emory B. Sellers is listed in the household of John Sellers and Martha in 1860 Perry County, Ohio. Bing Sellers is listed in the household of Isaac Sellers and his new wife Julia Unknown. Was Emory B. Sellers listed in both households? Oft times when there was a new marriage, children of the first marriage would live with relatives. Emory B. Sellers married Mary Woltz, daughter of George Bainbridge Woltz and Almira Glassford, on 03 July 1877 in White County, Indiana according to World Connect. He is listed in 1880 White County, Indiana, as being married to a Mary.
