Logan County KyArchives Biography

Author: Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, Volume 4, 1886
WILBUR F. BROWDER. Among those who early settled in the vicinity of Olmstead,
Logan Co., Ky., was Richard Browder, who came from Virginia to that county in
1819. He engaged in the pursuits of the farm, at which he was very successful.
He lived to a ripe old age, and was an honored representative of pioneer
Methodism in this county, in the faith of which he trustingly died in 1867. He
had a family of five children, the eldest of whom was David Browder. David was
born in Virginia, and when the family removed to this state, was but an infant.
He was reared upon his father's farm; married Elizabeth Irvine, and in early
manhood abandoned the farm to pursue merchandising. He removed to Clarksville,
Tenn., where, on the 12th of December,1848, was the subject of this sketch,
Wilbur F. Browder. He afterward moved to Montgomery, Ala., where he died in
1871, and where Wilbur F. was chiefly reared. When sixteen years old,
entered the Randolph Macon College, of Virginia, where he pursued his
studies for one year, at which time he became a student in the University
of Virginia, graduated from that institution in 1868. He then entered the
law department of the University of Lexington, Kentucky, graduating
therefrom in 1869; was admitted to practice in November, 1869, and at once
established an office in Russellville, Ky. Mr. Browder enjoys an extensive
reputation as an able lawyer. He is a pleasant speaker, and in his practice
has demonstrated the fact, that personal abuse and tonguy saracasm are not
elements of success in law practice. He has occupied several positions of
trust, in all of which he has justified the confidence reposed in him.
During the existence of the Logan County National Bank, he was for several
years its president, and is now a director in the Logan County bank. In
1874, he was appointed to the office of register in bankruptcy, which he
filled until the office was vacated by the repeal of the bankrupt law in
1878. Mr. Browder was, until he resigned recently, master in chancery of
the Logan circuit court, and is chairman of the executive Democratic
committee of his county and senatorial district. He was married in 1871, to
Bettie Wills, daughter of John W. and Eliza (Bibb) Wills.
