JOHN M. AMOS, now editor of the Cambridge Jeffersonian, was reared and
educated in Noble County. He taught school in early life, studied law unde
Spriggs & Foreman and was admitted to the bar. After practicing law for a
time he engaged in the newspaper business, building up the Democratic organ
of the county and making it, for almost the first time in its history, a
paying newspaper property. At the same time he practiced law and took a
leading part in politics. He sold out his newspaper in 1884 and removed to
Cambridge. Mr. Amos was a Republican until 1871 but has since acted with
the Democrats.
