JUDGE DRANE DEAD.
Second Attack of Heart Trouble Breaks the Brittle Thread of Life.
An Able and Upright Jurist Who Served Many Years On the Bench.
Frankfort, Ky.. Jan. 1 -- (Special.) -- Judge George C. Drane died to-day at noon. Hs bad rallied sufficiently to recognize his wife and friends, but a sudden attack of heart trouble, from which he had suffered for years, carried him away In an instant. His eldest daughter, Mrs. Virgil Hewitt, arrived from Battle Creek, Mich., after her father had passed away. Mr. Paul Drane, of New York; E. M. Drane and Miss Drane, who were In the East, reached home to-night. Judge Drane's death removes still another of the land-marks of this section, so many of whom have passed away In the past two or three years. No man who ever lived here was more generally respected and beloved.
Judge Drane was in the seventieth year(?) of his age. He was born at New Castle, Ky., November 17, 1827. His grandparents settled in Shelby county in 1800, and his father, Edward C Drane, was one of several brothers who ware prominent citizens of Shelby and Henry counties. His mother was Miss Judith Dupuy, a descendant of the colony of Huguenots, who settled on the James river, Virginia. In 1680. Judge Drane's education was completed at Louisville and at Hanover College. Ind. He graduated in the law department of the University of Louisville in 1849. In 1862 he was elected Judge of the Circuit composed of Franklin, Henry. Trimble, Carroll. Gallatin, Boone. Grant and Owen counties, and held the office six years. Ha was then appointed by Gov. Leslie to fill a vacancy, and in 1871 was reelected Circuit Judge, and served until 1874. He was a Union man at the beginning of the war, but was conservative, and avoided the extremes of both parties, and by his Impartial course was enabled to continue holding his court during the disturbances occasioned by the conflict without depending upon military protection. The only Interruption occurred In the autumn of 1862, when Gen. Bragg was in possession of the State. Such was his popularity that Judge Drane was re-elected Judge by a big majority, many of his supporters being ardent Southern men. Since 1863 he had voted with the Democrats until the adoption of the Chicago platform of 1896, since when he affiliated with the sound-money wing of the party.
Judge Drane was married in 1861 to Miss Mary Shipman, of Niagara Falls, a sister of Rev. Dr. Shipman, of the Episcopal Church, and of Paul R. Shipman, well known In Kentucky as one of the editors, with Mr. Prentice, of the old Louisville Journal. Mr. Drane and his sons and daughters mentioned survive him. Definite arrangements for his funeral have not been made.
