JOHN V. CABELL
Vol. 3, p. 1130-1131

Since the spring of 1910 Mr. CABELL has been engaged in the practice
of his profession in Oklahoma City, where he gives his attention
principally to general civil and corporation law, and his definite
success attests alike his personal popularity and his admirable
equipment for service as an attorney and counselor, his well
appointed offices being in Suite No. 1014-17 Colcord Building. He is
a man of fine intellectual and professional attainments and is a
valuable acquisition to the legal coterie in the capital city of
Oklahoma.

In the fine little City of Bowling Green, Kentucky, John V. Cabell
was born on the 15th of June, 1877, and he is a son of Rev. Benjamin
F. Cabell, D. D., and Ellen Douglas (PATTERSON) Cabell, the former of
whom passed to the life eternal in September, 1909, and the latter of
whom is still living. The lineage of the Cabell family in America
traces back to Dr. William Cabell, who emigrated from England in 1741
and established his residence in the colony of Virginia, the paternal
great-grandfather of the subject of this review having removed from
the Old Dominion to Kentucky in the early part of the nineteenth
century and having been a pioneer in that state. Rev. Benjamin F.
Cabell was born and reared in Kentucky and was a distinguished
clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as well as a
prominent and influential figure in connection with educational
affairs in his native state. He was graduated in the Ohio Wesleyan
University, in the City of Delaware, Ohio, where he was a classmate
of Senator STONE of Missouri and Hon. Charles W. FAIRBANKS, of
Indianapolis, former vice president of the United States. He was
identified with educational work during virtually his entire active
career and for twenty years was president of Potter College, at
Bowling Green, Kentucky, where his death occurred and where his widow
still maintains her home.

John W. Cabell was signally favored in being reared in a home of
distinctive culture and refinement and his educational advantages in
his boyhood and youth were of the best. At Ogden College, Bowling
Green, Kentucky, he was graduated as a member of the class of 1898
and with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. Thereafter he
completed a post-graduate course in Vanderbilt University, at
Nashville, Tennessee, from which he received in 1899 the degree of
Master of Science. In the law department of the same institution he
was graduated as a member of the class of 1901, and after receiving
his degree of Bachelor of Laws, with concomitant admission to the bar
of Tennessee, he was engaged in the practice of his profession in the
city of Nashville about two years. Thereafter he passed about
eighteen months in travel through the West, especially on the Pacific
coast, and in 1904 he came to Oklahoma Territory and engaged in the
general practice of law at Ardmore, Carter County. He became one of
the representative members of the bar of that county but in March,
1910, he found a broader field of professional endeavor by
establishing his residence in Oklahoma City, where he has built up a
substantial practice that shows a constantly cumulative tendency, as
he is indefatigable in the work of his profession and has established
an excellent reputation for effective service as an attorney and
counselor at law. Mr. Cabell has identified himself most fully with
Oklahoma and its capital city and is here financially interested in a
number of industrial and commercial enterprises.

He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South; he is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; and his political allegiance
is given to the democratic party.

In July, 1912, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Cabell to Miss
Lula GARRISON, daughter of George W. and Ann Garrison, of Oklahoma
City, her father having lost his life by assassination while in
performance of his duty as sheriff of Oklahoma County, Mr. And Mrs.
Cabell have one child, Ellen Ann.
