Among those whose art and appliances
justify recognition and special mention is James T. Egerton,
the county Surveyor of Lawrence County. Mr. Egerton is a
product of Ironton, being born in this city September 5th,
1859. He was educated in the public schools of the city and received
his engineering education in the office of the Ironton City
Engineer, Mr. J. R.C. Brown, one of the most thorough and
practical engineers in the country.
In November 1887, Mr. Egerton was
elected county Surveyor and is now serving his fourth term in that
office. The building of the Lawrence County turnpikes, which are
considered among the best in the state, has been under his direct
supervision and in this capacity he has established an enviable
reputation. He has recently been engaged by the commissioners of
Gallia County to superintend the building of their new system of
turnpikes.
