Early life, education, and military service Born in Lakeland, Florida, Trammell's father was a pioneer who had homesteaded of Polk County, Florida, much of which became Lakeland. Trammell received a Ph.B. from Emory University and an LL.B. from the Vanderbilt University Law School. Returning to Polk County to enter the practice of law in 1909, he was elected judge of the County Court of Polk County, Florida, in 1913. He was one of the original twelve members appointed to the Board, and one of a group of five appointed "from the Bureau of Internal Revenue". Trammell was a cousin of United States Senator Park Trammell, of Florida, a fact that complicated his appointment to the board.
