About
Brazilla Carroll Reece was an American politician from Tennessee. He served in the United States House of Representatives. Reece was born on a farm near Butler, Tennessee, one of thirteen children of John Isaac and Sarah Maples Reece. He was named for Brazilla Carroll McBride, an ancestor who served in the War of 1812, but never used his first name. He attended Watauga Academy in Butler, and Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee. At Carson Newman he played basketball and football. After graduating from Carson Newman in 1914 as class valedictorian, he worked as a high school principal for one year, then enrolled in New York University, where he earned a master's degree in economics and finance in 1916. He also studied at the University of London. Reece died on March 19, 1961 in Bethesda, Maryland, just two months after being sworn in for his 18th term.
