“Memorial and Biographical History of Dallas County,” published:  
Chicago;  The Lewis Publishing Company, 1892.

KENNETH FOREE, Judge of the City Court of Dallas, was born in Henry 
county, Kentucky, in 1859, and is a son of Silas H. and Elizabeth (Kyle) 
Foree, honored citizens of Dallas county, whose history will be found on 
another page of this volume.  He received his literary education in Waco 
University, and having chosen the profession of law for his life work, he 
began its study under the direction of Judge Burke.  He was admitted to the 
bar in 1887, and at once entered upon a successful practice.  He has been a 
close student, and has evinced such an aptitude for legal work that he was 
the choice of the Democratic Convention in 1890 for City Judge.  He was 
elected by a large plurality, and is the youngest man in northern Texas 
serving in this capacity.  He has entered upon the discharge of his duties 
with an honesty of purpose and a strict impartiality which thoroughly justify 
his selection.  He is quick to discern a legal point, prompt in ruling, and 
fearless in his administration of justice.  He is one of the most promising 
young lawyers of Dallas, and his friends anticipate for him a bright and 
successful future.  He is a member of the Knights Templar, and belongs to 
the Baptist Church.
