OVERMAN, NATHAN R.: 1827-1883.

Born in Randolph County, Ind., on April 11, 1827, Nathan R. Overman had few opportunities for formal education but overcame this handicap by study at home. At eighteen years of age he began teaching.

In 1849, while engaged with his father in a brick- making business, he began the study of law and for the next eleven years he alternated teaching, farming, brick-making, and the study of his chosen profession. He married Mary J. Cox on May 27, 1854. In 1861 he began the practice of law in Tipton, Ind., and in 1878 he was elected judge of the Thirty-sixth Judicial Circuit.

He died in 1883.
