808 MARY PIERCE MARSHALL, b. in Virginia, September 27, 1822, d. in Shelbyville, Kentucky., October 6, 1882, = July 8, 1846, in Lewis County, Kentucky., JUDGE JOS. P. FOREE, b. March 26, 1820. Mrs. Foree was much beloved and highly esteemed for her graces and virtues. Her photograph attests her remarkable beauty, and those who knew her pronounce her name with veneration. I visited Judge Foree in 1884. He is a patriarchal old gentleman, with that benignity of countenance and cordiality of manner that inspires love as well as confidence. He was a second son of William P. Foree and Elizabeth J. Major, of Shelby County, Kentucky. After receiving his literary education at Transylvania University, and graduating in the law department of that Institution in March, 1843, he settled at Charleston, Miss., and engaged in the practice of law. He represented Tallahatchie County, Miss., in 1848, and was Probate Judge for a term; returned to Shelbyville, Kentucky., 1852; represented Shelby County in 1871-72; has been elected County Judge three times, and is now presiding Judge of the Court of Magistrates. A Democrat, he is one of the active and influential politicians of Kentucky.
