   THOMAS GENTRY KETTRELL has been engaged in the practice of law in the city of

Nashville for about sixteen years.



   Born in Maury county, Tennessee, on the 18th day of February, 1872, Mr.

Kittrell is the son of Thomas Morgan and Elizabeth (Parker) Kittrell. He comes

of Scotch-Irish ancestry, with a trace of English blood on the maternal side. Up

to the age of ten years he lived in the county of his birth. Then for four years

he lived in Perry county, moving thence to Nashville, which city has since

represented his home. Mr. Kittrell was prepared for college at the Webb school

at Bellbuckle, Tennessee, and followed that by his entrance at Vanderbilt

University in Nashville. He was graduated from the latter named institution with

the degree of A. B. in 1894, upon which he entered the law department of the

same school and received his B. L. degree in 1896. Soon thereafter Mr. Kittrell

was admitted to the bar of Tennessee, and with the single exception of one year,

he has devoted his time to the practice of his profession in the city of

Nashville. That year of absence was spent in the army service as second

lieutenant in the Fourth Tennessee Regiment.



   Mr. Kittrell is a Democrat, and has manifested a hearty interest in the

affairs of that party for many years, although he has never been drawn into

political contests, nor cared for political preferment of any order.
