  History of the Lake Huron Shore
  H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1883


        [246]

        HON. FRANK EMERICK, circuit judge, was born at Ypsilanti, Mich., in
     the year 1848.  He began the study of law in his native place, and attended
     the literary and law departments of the Michigan University, at Ann Arbor,
     where he was admitted to the bar in 1874.  He entered upon the practice of
     law at Ann Arbor, and while there held the offices of prosecuting attorney
     and circuit court commissioner of Washtenaw County.  He very soon attained
     a position of prominence at the bar of that county, but being favorably
     impressed with the future prospects of Alpena, removed to this city in
     April, 1881, and formed a law partnership with SETH L. CARPENTER, which
     continued until he entered upon his duties as circuit judge.  In April,
     1882, a circuit judge was to be elected, and it was believed by the lead-
     ing Republicans that MR. EMERICK could be elected.  He was accordingly
     nominated and elected.  His record upon the bench thus far has been highly
     creditable to his ability as a jurist, as well as to the judgment of the
     men who selected him for the position.  JUDGE EMERICK is yet a young man,
     but has already earned the reputation of being a good lawyer, possessing a
     high order of intellect.  He is no less popular as a citizen than as a
     judge.
