GEORGE KUNKEL was elected over Judge Jacobs in the most vigorous political campaign ever waged in Dauphin County up to that time. Judge Kunkel took office in January 1904. He was reelected and served until his death in June 1920. He had been a former member of the legislature and District Attorney. Judge Kunkel was a great orator and a keen student of the law. He could express the law in choice but simple and terse language. It was said of him that he could condense in one sentence the phosphorescence of a page. In the case of Joseph M. Huston, the architect who designed the State Capitol and was convicted of cheating and defrauding the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with respect to the furnishings of that building, Judge Kunkel wrote a seven page opinion refusing a new trial. The Superior Court in affirming Judge Kunkel’s decision, wrote a thirty-nine page opinion. Trial of this case consumed many weeks. During his term many important cases affecting state taxation and the administrative affairs of the state government were decided, including the Capitol Graft cases, to which reference will later be made. Judge Kunkel was held in high esteem, not only by the members of his own bar, but by the bar of the entire state. His son, George Kunkel, Jr., is a member of the Dauphin County Bar, a County Commissioner and a former member of the State Senate.
