Boswell, H. James, "American Blue Book Western Washington," Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 14. TUCKER, WILLIAM: No member of the bar stands higher than Wilmon Tucker, of the firm of Tucker & Hyland of Seattle. Mr. Tucker is a native of Iowa, and was born in 1868. He received his early educational training public schools, following which he attended Western Normal college. In 1892 Mr. Tucker was admitted to the bar and in 1890 located in Seattle. He is a member of the law firm of Tucker & Hyland, established in 1899, and which is perhaps the oldest law firm in the city, and one that has a large clientele. In the courts he is on an equal footing with the best attorneys of the Northwest. In argument and cross examination he is at his best. I have personally watched him closely in the trial of cases. He is calm, dignified, unassuming and reserved. At the same time no move from the side of the opposition escapes his attention. He believes in trying all litigation fairly and squarely and entirely upon its merits, and without attempting to excite sympathy from jury or court. Personally he is one of the most unassuming men I ever met. He is a man possessed of keen facilities of mind, and holds a position in Seattle that is not surpassed by any. Mt. Tucker, in 1898, married Miss Lilian Snoke, and the couple have one child, a son, William Stevens Tucker, now attending the University of Washington. Mr. Tucker is a member of the Ranier Club, Elks, Seattle Golf and Country club, Sons of the Revolution, and the county and state law association and was formerly president of the Washington State Bar association and the Seattle bar association.
