Volume III Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928. Carter Co. Endowed with keen powers of analysis and perception, Albert James Counts has steadily progressed in a most exacting profession and is classed with the leading attorneys of Carter county. He has practiced in Olive Hill for a period of seventeen years and has creditably filled public offices of trust and responsibility. He was born November 6, 1876, in Carter county, Kentucky, and was reared on the farm of his parents, George W. and Mary (James) Counts. He was a pupil in country schools of his native county and for three years attended the University of Kentucky in Lexington. He read law under the supervision of Judge Henry L. Woods, of Olive Hill, and in 1910 was admitted to the bar. He has since practiced here, and a large and desirable clientele testifies to the confidence reposed in his legal acumen. Mr. Counts was married October 3, 1901, to Miss Lillie Everman, a daughter of W. R. and Martha (Armstrong) Everman, of Carter county. The children of this union are: Paul, who was born October 2, 1903; and Hubert, born May 30, 1907. Mr. Counts is a republican in his political views and during the session of 1912-13 represented the one hundredth district, comprising Cater and Elliot counties, in the state legislature. He was elected police judge and served from 1912 until 1920, tempering justice with mercy. He is a member of the Carter County, Kentucky State and American Bar Association, while his fraternal affiliations are with the Masons and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He lends the weight of his support to all movements for the benefit of the community, county and state and throughout life has been guided by those principles which constitute the basis of all honorable and desirable prosperity.
