Description

Presidential appointment for a long-serving Oklahoma judge

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 20 x 16, October 5, 1961. President Kennedy appoints Frederick A. Daugherty of Oklahoma as "United States District Judge for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Oklahoma." Boldly signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by President John F. Kennedy, and countersigned in blue ballpoint by Acting Attorney General Byron R. White. The gold seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. Rolled and in very good to fine condition, with some light creasing, and scattered staining. Accompanied by the original mailing tube, heavily worn at one end. President Kennedy had named White as his Deputy Attorney General upon taking office in 1961, and nominated him to the Supreme Court in 1962, where he would serve until 1992. The recipient of this appointment, Frederick Alvin Daugherty, served on the bench of the United States District Court of Oklahoma until his death in 2006.
