Guffy, B.L.D.

Judge B.L.D. Guffy, one of the most prominent figures in Southwestern Kentucky for half a century, died at his home at Morgantown, Feb. 27th., from an attack of the grip and the infirmities of old age. Judge Guffy was born in Logan county, Ky., in 1833. He was educated in the public schools and college at Glasgow. He settled in Butler county in 1854 and was admitted to the bar 1856 at Morgantown. He was appointed by President Lincoln as Assistant Marshal to take the census in 1860. He was also Police Judge of Morgantown in the same year. In 1891 he was the nominee for Attorney General of Kentucky on the Peoples' Party ticket. He returned to the Republican party in 1893 and in 1894 he defeated Judge Reeves, Democrat, to the Appellate bench. Before his time had expired he was promoted to Chief Justice. In 1903 he was elected to the Kentucky Legislature. It is said that Judge Guffy never recovered from the shock he received last November when his son, Estill Guffy, was killed by a runaway team at Beaver Dam. His wife, one son and six daughters survive him.
