     HARRY MORGAN STANLEY, of Henderson, was born on the 17th of
November, 1864, in Henderson county, Kentucky, a son of Nathaniel
Green and Frances (Jenkins) Stanley.  His father was a planter and
early settler of this county, and was a representative of an old
North Carolina family, whose establishment in America antedates the
Revolutionary war.  Mrs. Stanley McAllister, who married a second
time and is again a widow, was a resident of Buffalo, New York,
where lived her father, Commodore Jenkins, an extensive owner of
lake vessels, engaged in commercial and passenger service on the
Great Lakes.  They were descended from the Pilgrim fathers.
     Mr. Stanley of this review was educated in the schools of
Henderson and in his home under private tutors.  He was fitted for
his professional career in Yale College and was graduated in the law
department of that institution in the class of 1887, receiving the
degree of LL.B.  He was then admitted to the bar in New Haven,
Connecticut, and upon his return to Henderson was licensed to
practice in the courts of the state.  In 1890 he was elected judge
of the city court of Henderson and was re-elected and served in that
capacity until 1894.  His administration of the duties of that
office included the enforcement of the city ordinances, and this
task was most acceptably and faithfully performed, establishing a
rule of order and producing a feeling of safety within the limits of
the municipality that has made Henderson on of the most charming
cities of the state.  The appreciation of his ability to fill that
office was shown by the fact that though he would not again run for
or accept the office, the mayor, though of opposite political faith,
persuaded him to accept the appointment of judge pro tem to act in
the event of the sickness, absence or disability of the judge elect.
     Mr. Stanley's practice is of a general character, including
both civil and criminal litigation, and although he is one of the
younger members of the bar he is reputed one of the rising attorneys
of the city, highly esteemed for his sterling integrity, his
industrious habits and his attention to his clients' interests,
which he cares for with all the energy of his youth.
     He is a Democrat in politics, but prefers his profession to
political office, which he has never sought, though he was the
Democratic campaign chairman of his county during the national
campaign of 1896, and as such did splendid work for his party.  His
effective work led to his election to the position of chairman of
the county Democratic committee, and also of the judicial district
committee.  Socially he is a member of the order of Knights of
Pythias and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and he
is also a member of the college law fraternity of Phi Delta Phi.
