NORTHUP, HON. HENRY H., of Portland, County Judge of Multnomah, was born in Berkshire, Massachusetts, February 29, 1839. After completing his education, paid for by his own labor, he became a tutor in the Western University, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and in Anamosa, Iowa, where he studied law. In April, 1861, he enlisted in the First Iowa, and was at the battle of Wilson Creek, mustered out in the fall of 1861, re-enlisted in the spring of 1862, and mustered out in the fall of 1863. His health not permitting re-enlistment, he taught school, held a government clerkship, and read law, till he graduated from the Columbia College Law School in 1868, and was admitted to the bar by the Supreme County of the District of Columbia. In 1871 he came to Oregon and began practice in Portland. From 1873 to 1878 he was Register in Bankruptcy. In 1888 and 1892, he was elected to the legislature, and in 1894 was elected County Judge of Multnomah County. Judge Northup is now an independent candidate for congress on a sound-money platform.
