County Clerk and Clerk of District Court

The first incumbent of this important office was Charles D. Casper. Casper was formerly state senator from Butler county. This officer had not only the duty of county clerk and therefore clerk of the board of commissioners, but was also clerk of the district court and register of deeds for the county. In 1912 J. R. Minshall took this office. For the last three years of his term Z. H. Jones served as his deputy and in 1917 Mr. Jones became the county clerk and clerk of district court and has since then acceptably performed the multiple duties of those offices until their separation and was re-elected in November, 1920, for a four-year term as clerk of district court.
