Collection Overview

Biography / History
John Y. Brown Sr. was born in Geigers Lake, Union County, Ky. His parents, tenant farmers Jesse C. and Lucy K. Brown, named him after former Kentucky governor John Y. Brown. Brown attended Centre College in Danville, Ky., earning a bachelor of arts degree in 1921. He then attended the University of Kentucky, receiving a bachelor of laws degree in 1926. After graduating from the University of Kentucky, Brown was admitted to the bar and began practicing law in Lexington, Ky. In 1929, Brown married Dorothy Inman of Somerset, Ky. First elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1930, Brown quickly rose to prominence within the Democratic party. He served as the Speaker of the Kentucky House of Reprsentatives in 1932. Brown was elected to the United States House of Representatives in a 1932 at-large election. Serving in the U.S. House from 1933-1935, Brown lost his bid for renomination in the 1934 Democratic primary. Brown would go on to make many unsuccessful bids for public office, including seven unsuccessful bids for United States Senator. He lost the 1939 Democratic gubernatorial primary to Keen Johnson, the 1946 United States Senate race to John Sherman Cooper, and the 1966 United States Senate race to John Sherman Cooper. However, Brown was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives for six terms. He served as the majority floor leader during the General Assembly's 1966 session; this would be his last time holding an elected office.
When he was not holding political office, Brown practiced law and engaged in business ventures. He was a well respected and capable criminal trial lawyer. Brown fathered five children, Dorothy Ann, Betty Bruce, John Y. Jr., Diane, and Pamela Faris. His daughter Pamela died in 1970 while attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean with her husband in a balloon. John Y. Brown Jr. was a successful businessman, owning professional basketball teams as well as Kentucky Fried Chicken. Brown Jr. would go on to lead a successful campaign for Governor of Kentucky in 1979, serving from 1979-1983. John Y. Brown Sr. is also the grandfather of former Kentucky Secretary of State John Y. Brown III and newscaster Pamela Ashley Brown. Brown succumbed to pneumonia on June 16, 1985, six months after an automobile accident paralyzed him from the waist down.
