From Find a Grave contributor Angie H:
Robert R. Nevin was admitted to the bar in 1898 and joined his father in the firm of Nevin, Nevin & Kalbfus. He had been a member of the first graduating class of Steele High School in 1894.
He served in the Spanish American War, and returned to distinguish himself in the courtroom. In 1905 he became county prosecuting attorney, the only son to follow his father’s footsteps into that office until 1993 when Mathias H. Heck, Jr. entered the office Mathias H. Heck. Sr. had held from 1945 to 1960.
A portrait of Judge Nevin hangs in the main federal courtroom in Dayton. When the portrait was dedicated, the main speaker recalled an occasion in Nevin’s early years when newspaper headlines were reporting on the fame and financial rewards the Wright Brothers were enjoying. Nevin had wryly remarked, “I’ve always wondered what Henry Clay meant when he said ‘I’d rather be Wright than be President.’”
