OSCAR L. BOOSE.

Oscar L. Boose, engaged in the practice of law at Sunnyside, was born at
Somerset, Pennsylvania, March 10, 1884, a son of John R. and Annie E. Boose and
a brother of H. A. Boose, the cashier of the First National Bank of Sunnyside,
mentioned elsewhere in this work. Mastering the branches of learning taught in
the public schools, Oscar L. Boose passed through consecutive grades to his
graduation from the high school and for three years thereafter he engaged in
teaching, but he regarded this merely as an initial step to other professional
labor, as it was his earnest desire to become a member of the bar. With that end
in view he matriculated in the lace department of the Michigan State University
at Ann Arbor and was graduated with the class of 1908. He then located at
Sunnyside on the 1st of January, 1909, and opened a law office. Here he has
since continued in practice and has been accorded a large and distinctively
representative clientage. The thoroughness with which he prepares his case, his
clear understanding of legal principles and his correct application of these
principles to the points in litigation have been salient features in his growing
success. Aside from his practice he has an interest in a large alfalfa ranch.

On the 18th of September, 1912, Mr. Moose was married to Miss Elizabeth
Cornwell, of Yakima, and they now have a little daughter, Barbara, two and a
half years of age. Mr. Boose is a well known Mason, belonging to Sunnyside
Lodge, F. & A. M., and Sunnyside Chapter, R. A. 3I. He also has membership with
the Elks lodge, No. 318, of Yakima and with the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and his
interest in the development and welfare of his community is indicated by his
connection with the Sunnyside Commercial Club. Along strictly professional
lines he is identified with the County and State Bar Associations and he enjoys
the respect and confidence of colleagues and contemporaries by reason of his
close conformity to the highest ethical standards of the profession.
