Joseph W. Folk

Joseph (Holy Joe) Wingate Folk (October 29, 1869– May 29, 1923) was an American lawyer, reformer, and politician from St. Louis, Missouri. Raised in a strict Baptist household, Joe made his reputation as a reformer and earned his nickname as 'Holy Joe' by attacking local corruption and party machines as prosecutor in St. Louis. Folk was elected Governor of Missouri as a progressive reformer and Democrat in 1904. He was born in 1869 in Brownsville, Tennessee, and died aged 54 in 1923 in New York City, and is buried at the Oakwood Cemetery in Brownsville, Tennessee.
