Lawyer and politician William Doddridge McFarlane (1894-1980) was born in Greenwood,
Arkansas, and attended the University of Arkansas (UA). After serving in the U.S.
Army during World War I, McFarlane earned his B.A. and LL.B. from Kent Law School in
Chicago. He practiced law in Graham, Texas and served in the Texas House of
Representatives (1923-1927) and the Texas Senate (1927-1939). In 1933, McFarlane was
elected as a Democrat to represent Texas’ 13th district in the U.S. House of
Representatives (1933-1939). He later served as the special assistant to the
Attorney General in the Department of Justice (1941-1966).
