Title	Jno. G. Simrall.
Creator	Levin, H. (editor)
Contributors	Lewis Publishing Company (publisher)
Description	John Graham Simrall was born in Fayette County, Kentucky, in 1840. He graduated from Centre College at age 17, ranked second in his class. Too young to read law, his father placed him under the tutorship of Judge George Robertson, of Lexington, who prepared him for the Louisville law school where he graduated with honors in 1861. He was immediately admitted to the bar and entered into a partnership with Judge William S. Bodley of Louisville. This partnership, Bodley & Simrall, continued until Bodley's death in 1878, when Simrall took his former partner's son, Temple Bodley, into partnership with him under the name of Simrall & Bodley. In 1882, he was appointed by Governor Luke P. Blackburn as Vice Chancellor of the Louisville chancery court. In 1884, he was elected as the first judge of the law and equity court. In 1895, Simrall was a unsuccessful candidate for the court of appeals. Simrall was a member of the first board of managers of the University of Kentucky (then known as the Agricultural & Mechanical School) and also served on the board of Kentucky State University (then the State Colored Normal School). He died in 1905 in Anchorage, Kentucky, and was buried in Cave Hill Cemetery.
