(1933-1937)) LC database, May 6, 2005 (hdg.: McAlister, Hill, 1875-1959) Wikipedia August 23, 2023: (Harry Hill McAlister (July 15, 1875 - October 30, 1959) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 37th governor of Tennessee from 1933 to 1937. He also served as Nashville's city attorney in the early 1900s, and as Tennessee's state treasurer in the 1920s and early 1930s. McAlister withdrew from state politics in 1936 following a quarrel with powerful Memphis political boss E. H. Crump. He spent the last two decades of his life as a Referee in Bankruptcy in Nashville's district court. McAlister was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1875... He attended Vanderbilt University, graduating with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) in 1897. He was admitted to the bar, and began practice in Nashville in 1899. McAlister became Nashville's assistant city attorney in 1901, and was elevated to city attorney in 1905. He was elected to the Tennessee Senate in 1910, and served two terms (1911-1915). The Tennessee General Assembly appointed McAlister state treasurer in 1919. He served in this position until 1927, and again from 1931 to 1933. In the governor's race of 1926, McAlister sought the Democratic Party's nomination against the incumbent, Austin Peay. Following his second term, McAlister retired to his home in Nashville, and continued to practice law. He died on October 30, 1959, and was buried in Nashville's Mount Olivet Cemetery.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_McAlister> |
