LEO J. HANLEY

     Leo J. Hanley, who went to France with the American Expeditionary Force, is
now devoting his attention to the practice of law and ranks with Portland's
talented attorneys. He was born September 17, 1895, and is a native of Hurley,
Wisconsin. His father, John Hanley, is deceased and the mother, Margaret Hanley,
now resides in Butte, Montana.
     Leo J. Hanley received his higher education in Creighton University of
Nebraska, from which he won the degree of LL. B. in 1917, and in the same year
responded to the call to arms, joining a company of infantry. For nineteen
months he was stationed abroad, receiving the commission of second lieutenant,
and in 1919 was honorably discharged. At Butte, Montana, he was one of the legal
advisers of Senator W. A. Clark, now deceased, acting in that capacity for about
two years, and in 1921 came to Portland. He has since been associated with
Prescott W. Cookingham and their attention is given chiefly to corporation
matters and the handling of estates. The firm occupies a suite of offices on the
second floor of the Spalding building and its clientele is rapidly increasing in
volume as well as in importance.
     Mr. Hanley was married July 18, 1925, to Miss Fabian Rosche, of Salem,
Oregon, and they now have a daughter, Patricia Lee, who was born February 23,
1927. Mr. Hanley gives his political allegiance to the republican party and
adheres to the Roman Catholic faith. Along fraternal lines he is connected with
the Knights of Columbus and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He is one
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and also belongs to the American Legion, the
Multnomah Athletic Club, and the Multnomah County and Oregon State Bar
Associations. Mr. Hanley is a young man of pleasing personality and possesses
those qualities which are essential to success in the legal profession.
