J. R. Fletcher was a native of Pennsylvania, and was educated and admitted to the bar as a lawyer, at Bedford, in that State. He was a young man when he came to Iowa, and his good education made a brilliant future possible. But he liked his ease considerably, and after a few years of limited practice, he began devoting part of his attention to stock. In early days he was a candidate for various county offices, and serve done term as county judge. In 1881 he got an appointment to a clerkship in the Pension Bureau, at Washington, and is still retained in that capacity. He is now a man of about fifty years of age.
