Franz Christian Kuhn (February 8, 1872 – June 16, 1926) was an American lawyer and judge. He served as Michigan Attorney General and later as a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court in the early 20th century.[1][2] Kuhn was a Republican.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Kuhn was born in Detroit on February 8, 1872.[1] He was education in the Mount Clemens, Michigan public schools.[2] He graduated from the Literary Department of the University of Michigan in 1893 and from the Law Department of the University of Michigan (later the University of Michigan Law School) in 1894.[1][2]
Career
[edit]Following graduation, Kuhn began practicing law in Mount Clemens.[1] He served as circuit court commissioner of Macomb County until 1896, when he was elected Macomb County prosecuting attorney.[1] Kuhn was reelected in 1898 and 1900.[1]
In 1904, Kuhn became probate judge of Macomb County, and remained in that position until 1910, when he resigned to accept an appointment as Michigan attorney general.[1] The vacancy in the attorney general position had been caused by the resignation of John E. Bird, who had resigned to accept an appointment to the Michigan Supreme Court.[2]
On September 6, 1912, Governor Fred M. Warner appointed Kuhn to the Michigan Supreme Court to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Justice Charles A. Blair.[1][2] In November 1912, Kuhn was elected to a full term on the Supreme Court.[1][2]
He resigned in 1919 and briefly returned to private practice before becoming president of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company in February 1920.[1][2] Kuhn remained president of the telephone company until his death.[2]
He died on June 16, 1926, at Harper Hospital in Detroit, at the age of 65, after a brief illness.[1] He was buried at Mount Clemens.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
