Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, August 3, 1939 
Ralph Gilbert Dies Suddenly 
Was Candidate For Lieutenant Governor 
   Ralph Gilbert, 57, candidate for the Democratic nomination for 
Lieutenant Governor, died unexpectedly of a heart attack at 6:30 am 
Sunday at the Seelbach Hotel, Louisville.  
   The Shelby county attorney, public figure for thirty years, complained 
of indigestion at dinner Saturday night.  However, he recovered sufficiently 
to deliver a political address over WHAS at 9:47 o'clock and to meet with 
his campaign advisers at The Seelbach afterward. 
   In his public career of thirty years, Senator Gilbert served as 
Congressman from the old Eighth District; as Shelby County Representative 
in the State Legislature; as County Judge of Shelby and, at the time of his 
death, was completing a four year term as State Senator.  He also practiced 
law extensively at Shelbyville, and operated a farm at his home place on 
U. S. 60 a few miles east of Shelbyville. 
   Mr. Gilbert's name will appear on the ballots in all precincts of Bath 
county at the primary election Saturday.  Since the ballots had been printed 
for the second time and just completed at the time of his death, there was 
not sufficient time before the primary to reprint them and eliminate his 
name.
