Description
Jesse Forrest Gregory, LL.B.
Owensboro, Kentucky
Henry Clay Society; Attorney-General (3); Treasurer (4); Democratic Club; Attorney-General (3); President (4); Union Society Critic (4).
A judge of the Supreme Court has written: "A lawyer must possess the power of clear, logical thinking, with the intellectual grasp to take in many sides of a situation readily; a keen sense of justice and broad common sense to know what is right and what is wrong." The judge must have had Gregory in mind when he wrote this.
