HON. JAMES M. FOGLE (deceased), one of the brightest legal luminaries of
his day, was born in Lebanon, Ky., in 1820.  He received his literary
education at St. Mary's College, studied law with Rowan Hardin, and came to
the bar at the age of twenty.  In 1841 he formed a law partnership with
R. H. Rowntree, which continued until his death in 1871.  Mr. Fogle was an
able advocate, and one of the finest orators of the Kentucky bar.  He
served as elector for Pierce in the year 1852, and served as presidential
elector again in 1856, also represented Marion County in the State
Legislature during the session of 1855-56.  In May, 1846, he was married
to Miss Mary, daughter of John W. Davis, of Mercer County, Ky.  She died
in 1859, leaving four children, viz: John D., William P., Martha B.
(Grundy), and Betty P. (Allen).  His second marriage was to Miss Melissa
Lawrence, who died in 1871.  This union resulted in the birth of two
children, both of whom died in childhood.  John D. Fogle, the eldest of
the sons of James M. and Mary Fogle, and one of the ablest lawyers of the
present bar of Lebanon, Ky., was born in 1847, educated at St. Mary's
College, and having decided on the profession of law, entered the law
office of Rowntree & Fogle, with whom he performed the usual preparatory
reading.  He then pursued his legal study in the Harvard University of
Cambridge, Mass., and was admitted to practice in January, 1868, since
which date he has been a member of the Lebanon bar.  From 1868 to 1872 he
served as school commissioner of his county; in 1876 was assistant elector
for the State at large on the Tilden and Hendricks ticket, and in 1881
was elected to the State Senate to represent the Fifteenth Senatorial
District, serving acceptably for four years.  In 1866 he married Miss
Fannie Beard, daughter of Dr. J. J. Beard, of Adair County.  She died in
1884.  Mary Fogle is their only child.
