BiographyJoshua Collett was a native of Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Virginia), born November 20, 1781.,[2] read law in Martinsburg, and moved to Cincinnati just before Ohio was admitted to the union. Six months later, June 1803,[3] he moved to Lebanon, Ohio, and was the first lawyer in Warren County.[4] Collett was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Warren County in 1810, and served ten years. He was then appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and then re-appointed after seven years. He was appointed in 1829 to the Ohio Supreme Court, and retired from public office in 1836.[4] Collett was a Presidential elector for the Whig Party in 1836 and 1840.[4] Collett was a trustee of Miami University from 1824 to 1841.[1] One author characterized Collett thus: "He was modest, even to diffidence. ...his learning in the law and studious habits largely compensated for the lack of assurance. ... Throughout life he preserved a character for integrity, virtue, and benevolence."[4] Collett died on his farm near Lebanon May 23, 1855.[2] Collett married Eliza Van Horne on October 18, 1808 in Warren County. They were both Baptist Church members. Eliza died in 1846 and Joshua in 1855. Both were buried in Pioneer Cemetery in Lebanon.[1] See also
