A Prominent
Attorney of Kingston. The subject of this sketch was born of humble parentage on a farm in
Roane county. Educated himself, graduating at Friendsville academy, working his way as
janitor. He then taught school, and was afterwards a student of the University of
Tennessee. Was next principal of a high school in Alabama, returning later and studying
law under Judge Jno. J. BLAIR. He at once formed a co-partnership at Kingston with Col.
Sam Epps YOUNG and since that time Mr. BREAZEALE has been seen in most all important cases
in the Roane County courts, his skill and ability being wonderfull. A staunch republican,
always carries his point, a fine organizer, and is now chairman of the county republican
committee and is a member of the Second congressional republican committee.
