GEORGE M. DAVIE, one of the prominent lawyers of Louisville, was born in
Christian County, Ky., March 16, 1848, and is a son of Hon. Winston J.
and Sarah A. (Phillips) Davie.  His ancestry were persons of the highest
social position.  He grandparents were North Carolinians; his mother was
an accomplished lady, a native of Columbus, Ga.  His father was a
Kentuckian, born also in Christian County.  Mr. Davie's education was
thorough, he having been a student at Centre College, Danville, Ky., and
in 1865 he entered Princeton College, New Jersey, from which he graduated
with honor in 1868.  He came to Louisville the following year, and
commenced the study of law with Col. Robert Woolley, a man whose brilliant
ability was almost unequaled in Kentucky.  He was admitted to the bar in
1870, and commenced practice in 1871, in the office of Muir & Bijur; in
1874 he was admitted a member of the firm.  In 1877 the firm became Bijur
& Davie.  Upon the death of Mr. Bijur in 1882, Mr. Davie formed a
partnership with Col. John Mason Brown, his brother-in-law, and in 1885
Judge Alex. P. Humphrey was admitted, the firm now being Brown, Humphrey
& Davie.  Mr. Davie was married December 5, 1878, to Miss Margaret Howard
Preston, a daughter of Gen. William Preston, of Lexington, Ky.  One child
has been born to this union.  Mr. Davie is devoted to his profession, and
has given but little time to politics.  He has, however, been for five or
six years, chairman of the Democratic committee of his district.
