Description
George William Meuth, LL.B.
Henderson, Kentucky
President Henry Clay Law Society; Business Manager Kentucky Law Journal
To Meuth’s unusual record we are ready to agree –
He did the work in two years which the common plodder does in three.
We have it from the night owl’s dark report
That he wielded a wicked paddle as Judge of Senior Court.
But when it comes to women, their society he surely spurns,
But we dare say in the future one will trim those sideburns.
-The Kentuckian, 1923
