Joseph S. Darling first settled in Jackson County and commenced the practice at Sabula in 1854. He subsequently located at Bellevue, and when the county seat of Jackson County was removed to Andrew he changed his residence to that place, and while living there served one term as County Judge. He subsequently removed to Clinton, in Clinton County, where he practiced with great success for a period of some twenty years, when he went to Arkansas. He was one of the best equipped lawyers in the State and able to compete with any of his competitors. It was said of him that "He had few equals and no superiors at the bar." I have no data concerning his nativity.
