Memorial Day Ceremonies at Oakdale Cemetery in Marysville. 🇺🇸

05/25/2026

Eufinger Law Offices, LLC and the Heart of Ohio Title Company will be closed today in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. One of my favorite “hats” that I wear in the community is as a Paris Township Trustee, which includes caring for the Amrine Cemetery.

The Amrine Family settled Paris Township before Marysville and Union County were founded. Many of those settlers fought for our Nation’s identity 250 years ago. The names on the markers here ring familiar as the Amrine, Coder, Westlake, Reed, and other descendants walk among us today.

Over the years, I have been privileged to join one of those descendants - my friend Michelle Amrine - in decorating their graves and honoring their memory and their sacrifices.

My friend Mac Cordell wrote a wonderful story about the Cemetery and the family that lives next door that you can read here.

Memorial Day services will be held throughout the county today. If you happen to join the service at Oakdale Cemetery in Marysville, it is immediately followed by a short ceremony at the Amrine Cemetery. Hope to see you there.🇺🇸

Interesting read about how Ohio’s own William Howard Taft played an important role in creating the modern independent judiciary.

William Howard Taft destroyed the man who made him president.

And it cost him the White House.

In 1908, Theodore Roosevelt didn’t just endorse Taft, he engineered his victory. Roosevelt stepped aside after two terms, backed Taft publicly, and handed him a political machine that had already won elections.

Taft walked into power built by someone else.

Then he turned on it.

In 1911, Taft’s Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Standard Oil and won, breaking it into 34 companies. That looked like Roosevelt’s legacy continuing.

But then Taft crossed a line Roosevelt never expected.

He approved tariffs that angered reformers. He fired allies. And most importantly, he refused to play politics the way Roosevelt did. No public theatrics. No personal loyalty games.

Roosevelt saw it as betrayal.

So he came back.

In 1912, Roosevelt didn’t just criticize Taft. He ran against him. Formed the Progressive “Bull Moose” Party. Split the Republican vote in half. Campaign rallies turned into open warfare between two men who once trusted each other.

The numbers tell the collapse.

Roosevelt: 88 electoral votes.
Taft: 8 electoral votes.
Winner: Woodrow Wilson with 435.

A sitting president reduced to almost nothing.

That’s what choosing principle over loyalty cost him.

Most politicians disappear after that.

Taft didn’t.

For eight years, he waited. No comeback tour. No revenge campaign. Just one target: the Supreme Court.

In 1921, Warren G. Harding gave him what he actually wanted. Chief Justice of the United States.

Now the system was his.

Taft didn’t waste it.

In 1925, he pushed through the Judiciary Act, restructuring how the Supreme Court operated. Before Taft, the Court was buried under mandatory cases. After Taft, it controlled its own docket. Selective review. Strategic power.

He didn’t just serve on the Court.

He redesigned it.

To the public, Taft is the “bathtub president.” The joke. The image.

Behind that is a colder reality.

He chose law over politics, lost everything for it, then came back and rewired the most powerful court in the country.

William Howard Taft didn’t fail at power.

He rejected the version of it that required loyalty over control.
