JUDGE JOSEPH I. LANDES, was born January 3, 1836, in Christian County, 
Ky.  His father, Isaac Landes, was born in Rockingham County, Va., on 
the 4th of October, 1796.  The parents of Isaac, who were of German 
origin, removed from Virginia about 1805, and settled in Muhlenburg 
[sic] County, Ky., where they afterward died and where Isaac grew to 
maturity.  About 1822 he came to Christian County, and in 1824 was 
married to Miss Susannah, daughter of Joseph and ELizabeth (Summers) 
Kelly.  This family came from Virginia about 1800 and made settlement in 
Bourbon County, Ky., four years later removing to Christian County, 
where they died.  Elizabeth (Summers) Kelly is remembered as possessing 
rare literary ability, though not a scholastic education.  Susannah 
(Kelly) Landes was born in Bourbon County, Ky., March 3, 1803.  She was 
the mother of five children:  Catherine E. (wife of James Rutherford of 
Hopkinsville), born in 1828; Susannah (who died in early childhood), 
born in 1830; Benjamin D., now of Logan County, born in 1834; the 
subject of this sketch, and Samuel J., of Atlanta, Ga., born in 1843.  
Joseph I. received his educational training in the schools of 
Hopkinsville, and Hardinsburg, after which he studied law in the 
University of Virginia at Charlottesville.  In 1858 he was licensed to 
practice by Judges Stites and Duvall, of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, 
and at once engaged in practice at Hopkinsville. He has served the city 
of Hopkinsville four years as Judge and for the same length of time was 
County Attorney.  He is a member of the Hopkinsville Lodge, No. 37, A. 
F. & A. M., Oriental Chapter, No. 14, and of the Royal Arcanum; he is 
also a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church.  Judge Landes was 
married in Columbus, Ohio, April 27, 1865, to Miss Mary McD. Carter, 
daughter of Dr. F. Carter of that city.  Her mother, Anna (Starling) 
Carter, was a daughter of William and Polly (McDowell) Starling.
