HOOD COUNTY JUDGES
by Tim Sears
During
Reconstruction, 1870-1876, the office of County Judge was eliminated. The Police Court was the administrative
body. The Presiding Justice of the
Peace in the Courthouse District was the chief presiding officer. It is quite possible that other people also
served as County Judge for periods of time
