DYSART, GEORGE:  IN EVERY LINE of business there are men who are able to see 
further than others.  By some, this is called intuition, by others, good 
judgment, but call it what we may, the fact remains that the farseeing men are 
those who become by natural right, leaders in their community.  This applies 
to law as well as to anything else.  It applies to such men as George Dysart, 
of Centralia, Wash., as one of the best qualified lawyers in the northwest.  
Mr. Dysart is a native of Illinois, and was born in 1865.  His academic 
training was had in public schools, while his legal training was obtained in 
the University of Michigan, from which he graduated in 1887 with the LL. B. 
degree.  He came to Centralia in 1889, and was admitted to the Washington bar 
the same year.  He was a member of the Second State Legislature, of 1891, and 
from 1897 to 1898 was prosecuting attorney of Lewis county.  Mr. Dysart 
belongs to the class of lawyers who have no patience with a sham or pretender.  
While he prefers keeping clients out of litigation when possible, he never 
fails to give a splendid account of himself once he enters court.  He is at 
all times profound in his respect for the court.  He is at all times profound 
in his respect for the court and courteous to opposing counsel.  His demeanor 
in practice has made him scores of friends throughout the state.  A man of 
pleasing personality, and a lawyer of marked ability, Mr. Dysart has attained 
success that is well founded, indeed.  Mr. Dysart appears frequently in the 
courts, and his success is all that anyone could expect.  His work is thorough 
and painstaking, and indicates careful preparation prior to entering trial.  
Without a question he is one of the most reserved of men, open as a book, 
thoroughly honest in every move he makes, and a thorough student of human 
nature.  In 1891 Mr. Dysart married Miss Cora Butler, and the couple have two 
children, a boy Lloyd B., and a girl, Laura.  He is a member of the Elks and 
Masons.  He is also a member of the county and state bar associations.
