IRWIN G. JENNINGS, who is filling the position of probate judge in Muskingum county, was born in Zanesville, in 1875, a son of Dr. E. A. and Margaret C. (Chapman) Jennings.  The father was born in Noble county, Ohio, and died in 1887, at the age of thirty-six years.  He held membership in the Methodist Episcopal church.  His wife, whose birth occurred in Zanesville, in 1853, is now living in this city.  She is a daughter of Charles L. Chapman a cabinet-maker, and by her marriage she became the mother of two sons but the brother, Charles C., is now deceased.
     Judge Jennings was a student in the public and high schools of Zanesville, being graduated with the class of 1893.  In the fall of the same year he entered upon a classical course in Oberlin College and after a year spent in that institution he continued his studies in Marietta College, where he completed a classical course.  Having determined to enter upon the practice of law as a life work, he then began reading in the office and under the direction of Frank H. Southard, an attorney of Zanesville, and subsequently matriculated in the State University at Columbus, in 1898, being graduated the following year with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.  In the fall of 1899 he was admitted to the bar at Columbus and entered at once upon the practice of his profession in Zanesville, continuing an active member of the legal fraternity here until elected to the office of probate judge.
     On the 23d of November, 1994, Judge Jennings was married to Miss Charlotte C. Lynn, a daughter of John T. and Cornelia (Rector) Lynn, and a native of Zanesville, born in 1880.  Mr. Jennings is identified with the Masonic fraternity and gives his political allegiance to the republican party.  He was elected to the office of probate judge in 1902 and is a member of the Muskingum County Bar Association.  He is yet a young man but has already attained a creditable  position as a representative of the Muskingum county bar and his friends predict for him still greater honors and success.
