Prall, John A. (John Andrew), 1827-
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Politician.
Prall attended Centre College and Transylvania University. He married Nannie Williams in 1851, and began practicing law with his father-in-law, George W. Williams, in Paris, Ky. in 1854. In 1859 he was elected to the state legislature, representing Bourbon County. He defeated Brutus J. Clay in that race. Prall won re-election in 1863, despite his pro-Union stance and the large number of southern sympathizers in Bourbon County. He moved his law practice to Lexington in 1868, and there he also served as Assessor of Internal Revenue from 1869-1873.
