His education at the University of Mississippi was suspended by the call to arms. As a mere boy he enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private, later became an officer, and was severely wounded. When the war was over he studied law and engaged in active practice. He described the legal fraternity of Mississippi in his early days with just pride as "a bar inferior to none in its day and generation." (Ayres v. United States, 42 C. Cls. 385, 399.) In 1893 he was appointed Assistant Attorney General, and in 1897 judge of the Court of Claims by President Cleveland. He retired in 1915. His activity still continued after his retirement. He acted as chairman of a board of arbitration between twelve railroads and their employees. He passed away at the age of 84, July 20, 1928. Stanton J. Peelle was born near Richmond, Indiana, February 11, 1843. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army as a corporal, was soon promoted to an officer, and served throughout the war. After the war he studied law and practiced at Indianapolis. He served as a member of both the State and national legislatures. In 1892 he was appointed judge of the Court of Claims by President Harrison, and in 1906 chief justice by President Roosevelt. He retired at the age of 70 in 1913. He continued after his retirement to take an active interest in church and charitable work as he had done all his life.
