Great-Grandfather Smalley Was Elected


Last February I wrote about my gt-grandfather Albertson and his election in Sherman County Kansas as a County Commissioner. Sometimes it pays to look over items that you had already collected. While checking the Smalley file, I found this copy of a document which shows that my other gt-grandfather who lived in Sherman County was also the winner in an election. This certificate of election shows “that at a General Election held in said County [Sherman] on the 5 day of November A.D. 1912 L. F. Smalley received the greatest number of votes cast for the office of Justice of the Peace Washington Township.” The County Commissioners did an official canvass of the returns of the election so the said L. F. Smalley was duly elected.
