Description
Tolbert Potter Oliver, LL.B.
Murray, Kentucky
Henry Clay Law Society.
Mr. Oliver has a dark past which we shall take fiendish pleasure in disclosing if the appropriation is turned down. He is conscientious, modest, a good student who would never ever have thought he was once a member of the General Assembly.
-The Kentuckian, 1922
