EARLY COMMISSIONERS

As before stated, the new county of Bartholomew was created by legislative enactment on the 9th of January, 1821. and on the 15th day of February, that year, William Ruddick, Jesse Ruddick and Solomon Stout met at the residence of Luke Bonesteel and organized as the first board of county commissioners of the new county, producing their certificates of election from the hand of the sheriff. Their first business was the appointment of Edward Ballenger as clerk of the board and the adoption of an official seal, after which they received the report of the commissioners appointed by the legislature to select and establish a permanent seat of justice for the county.
