W. J. Vesey was born April 19, 1S57, 

 on a farm in La Grange County, Ind. 

 At the age of 21 he was admitted to 

 the practice of law at Fort Wayne 

 where he has since resided. In 1S99 

 he was appointed Judge of the 

 Superior Cotirt by the Governor to fill 

 an unexpired term, and at its expira- 

 tion resumed the practice of law. 

 Impelled by his love for flowers he 

 formed a partnership in 1892 with his 

 wife under the name of W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey and built a small commercial 

 plant which has now increased to an 

 establishment of 1.50,000 feet of glass 

 devoted largely to wholesale trade and 

 in connection with a handsome retail 

 store in Fort Wayne. Judge Vesey, 

 apart from his law practice, -is a 

 director in several banks, ti-ust com- 

 panies and manufacturing enterprises 

 and his connection with the flower 

 business is largely recreative, the 

 supervision of the business being 

 mainly in the hands of the junior 

 member of the firm.
