Six-Foot Kentuckian for Congress

Six-Foot Kentuckian for Congress

From The Mount Sterling Kentucky Free Lance-June 29,1896

The Democratic nominee for Congress in the Tenth District, Col. T.Y. Fitzpatrick is a native of Prestonsburg, Floyd County, is about forty years of age, and a lawyer of much ability. He is a typical Kentuckian, being over six feet high, and straight as an arrow, and decidedly a fine-looking man. He has the reputation of being a forcible and eloquent speaker, and is no doubt the strongest man the Democrats could have nominated. He has several times represented his district in the Kentucky Legislature.
