	SIMON P. DOMER, one of the rising young lawyers of the West, has been
identified with the legal profession of Spokane since 1890, and it is fitting
that some mention should be made of him in this work.
	Mr. Domer was born in Noble county, Indiana, February 16, 1861. His parents,
George and Lydia (Hoover) Domer, were natives of Ohio, and of their family of
eight children he is the youngest. He attended the district schools of his
native State, went to normal school, and later entered the State University at
Bloomington, Indiana, where he took a literary course. He studied law in the
university at Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he graduated in 1890, and was soon
afterward admitted to practice in all the courts of the State. Previous to his
graduation at Ann Arbor, he was associated with the law firm of Watson &
Huggins, of Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Watson being Attorney General of the State of
Ohio at that time. Before this, Mr. Domer was engaged in teaching in Kansas,
serving as principal of the Belleville schools two years, and of the Burr Oak
schools the same length of time.
	Realizing that the opportunities for an ambitious young man were far better
in the West than East, he came to Washington, arriving here in September, 1890,
and at once opened an office for the general practice of law, and his career
thus far has been one of success. He has been alone in practice with the
exception of the time from April, 1891, to July, 1892, when he was a member of
the firm of Domer & Alger. He is a thorough student and is perfectly devoted to
his profession. By his strict attention to business and by his frank and cordial
intercourse with his fellow men, he has made many friends since coming to
Spokane.
	Mr. Domer is in politics a Republican. He is a Knight of Pythias and a
member of the college fraternity Sigma Chi.
