Draft:John W. Blackburn

John W. Blackburn (18__ – 1893) was a justice of the Supreme Court of the Utah Territory from 1889 to 1893.

"While in Colorado, Bartch met John W. Blackburn, who was also practicing law in Canon City. The two decided in March 1888 to move to Salt Lake City where they established the law firm of Blackburn and Bartch. ... Harrison reaffirmed his support by appointing Bartch to the bench of the Third Judicial District filling the vacancy caused by the death of his associate John Blackburn."

On May 8, 1893, President Grover Cleveland removed Blackburn as an associate justice of the territorial supreme court of Utah, and appointed Harvey W. Smith in his place.
