[Harrison County]   [Cynthiana City and Precinct]

W. T. LAFFERTY, lawyer, P. O. Cynthiana.  This promising young man was
born March 1, 1856, in Harrison County.  His father, John A. Lafferty, a
native of the county, served as sheriff for six years, besides filling
numerous positions of minor importance.  His wife the mother of our
subject, was Frances E., daughter of John Henry, of Harrison.  His father,
James Lafferty, was a Pennsylvanian, and came to the Virgin State of
Kentucky about the year 1802.  W. T. Lafferty, after attending the common
schools of the county, entered the A. & M. College of Kentucky University
at Lexington, where he pursued his studies for a couple of years.  His
course through college was marked by plodding industry, and a determination
to make his mark in the world.  Returning from Lexington to Cynthiana, he
began reading law with A. H. & J. Q. Ward.  By dint of hard study he was
enabled to pass an examination, and was admitted to the bar Dec. 1, 1879.
He has now a growing practice, and has been honored by the Democratic
party with the nomination for County Attorney.  He is a member of the
Christian Church and is regarded as a model young man.
