DAVID W. FAIRLEIGH was born in Breckinridge County, November 28, 1853, and
is a son of James L. and Jane (Murray) Fairleigh, the former a native of
Hardin County, and the latter of Breckinridge County. His great-grandfather
Andrew Fairleigh, was a native of Maryland, of English descent; his
grandfather, William Fairleigh, came to Kentucky in early times, settling
in Hardin County.  When Meade County was organized in 1823, he became
county and circuit clerk, which positions he held continuously until his
death in 1865.  Subject's paternal grandfather, Col. David R. Murray, was
one of the most prominent citizens of Breckinridge County, and one of its
early settlers.  James L. Fairleigh (father of the subject) succeeded his
father as clerk of the Meade courts, and is now cashier of the Meade
County Deposit Bank.  David W. Fairleigh, the subject of this sketch, was
educated at Brandenburg, and at Rockport (Ind.) Academy.  He read law
with his uncle, Col. Thomas B. Fairleigh, of Louisville, and with James
W. Lewis, Esq., of Brandenburg.  He was admitted to the bar in 1874, and
began practice in Louisville.  The next year he located at Brandenburg,
where he practiced in the courts of Meade and adjoining counties until
1887, when he returned to Louisville, and opened a law office.  He is a
young man of brilliance and promise, and a lawyer with few equals of his
own age.  He was married in 1878 to Miss Emma Ditto, of Meade County.
They have four children.
