HUNT LEWIS One of the influential business men of Portland is C. Hunt Lewis, vice president of the Lewis Investment Company and also officially identified with a number of other important business interests of this city. Mr. Lewis is a native of this city, having been born here on the 24th of July, 1875, and is a son of Cicero Hunt and Clementine (Couch) Lewis, both representatives of old and prominent families of this locality. After completing the course of the public schools, he attended Bishop Scott Academy, at Portland, and then entered the Lawrenceville Preparatory school, at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, from which he was graduated in 1893. On his return to Portland he went to work for the Security Savings and Trust Company, with which he remained for three years, and during the ensuing three years was with Allen & Lewis. He then went to the Rogue River valley, where he bought a large orchard and devoted his attention to fruit raising, with marked success, until 1908. On his return to Portland he became secretary of the United Engineering; and Construction Company, which built the Hawthorne avenue bridge and a number of important buildings in this city. For the past several years he has been identified with the Lewis Investment Company, of which he is vice president. He is a director of the firm of Allen & Lewis and of the Pacific Power and Light Company, as well as other corporations, and is very active in the business circles of this city. On November 16, 1904, Mr. Lewis was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude Gordon McClintock, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they are the parents of three sons, C. Hunt, Jr., who graduated from the Thatcher school, and from Princeton University in 1927, and is now engaged in the chain grocery business in Portland; Franklin Faber, who is now a student in Thatcher school, in California; and David Gordon, who is attending the public schools in this city. Mr. Lewis has always taken a deep interest in public affairs and is an ardent supporter of the republican party, while, socially, he is a member of the Arlington Club, and the Waverly Club, a life member of the Multnomah Club and life member of the Portland Rowing Club. 'He is a man of mature and discriminating judgment in practical matters, is progressive in his ideas and methods, has been very successful in his business operations, and his sterling integrity and fidelity to principle have gained for him an enviable place in the confidence and respect of his fellowmen. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
