Legislative History

Presented by the Kentucky Historical Society

Governor Bramlette

A resolution passed and was approved March 20, 1876, paying the respects of the General Assembly to the memory of ex-governor Thomas Bramlette, who had died since the last legislative session. The resolution described him as “brave, generous, gentle, and kind,” as well as “a genial companion, a faithful friend, and an ornament to society.”
