Frank Leßoy Justice died of heart disease May IS at his home in Washington township, near Logansport, Ind.

He was born in Camden, Ind., June 5, 1854, the son of Dr. James Madison and Zenith Ann (Norris) Justice. His parents removed in 1858 to Logansport, where he fitted for college at the city high school. He entered Dartmouth at the beginning of junior year, having taken the earlier part of his college course at Smithson College, Logansport. He became a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

In the fall after graduation he began the study of law with a Logansport firm of which a brother was a member, and after his admission to the bar practiced in that city. In 1888 he gave up practice on account of poor health, and entered upon farming, in which occupation he was actively and successfully engaged for the rest of his life.

He was actively interested in politics, though he never held public office. His final failure of health was thought to be due to overwork in the various war drives. He was a member of the Ninth St. Christian church.

February 15, 1882, Mr. Justice was married to Annie May, daughter of Washington L. and Charlotte U. (Baron) Wirick, who survives him, with two sons and a daughter, two other daughters having died.
