Lockley, Fred. "History of the Columbia River Valley, From The Dalles to the Sea." Vol. 3. S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1928. p. 650. STANLEY G. JEWETT Stanley G. Jewett, of Portland, is regarded as one of the best informed insurance men in the Columbia River valley, having held a number of responsible positions, and is now engaged in the general insurance business as a member of the firm of Jewett, Barton & Leary, whose offices are in the Lewis building. Mr. Jewett was born in Forest City, California, in 1882, and is a son of Stanley and Mary A. (Lean) Jewett. His paternal grandfather, William Cornell Jewett, who was a native of Virginia, went to California in 1850 and gained distinction as a civil engineer, one of his works being the laying out of Market street, in San Francisco. Stanley Jewett was born in California in 1851, became a successful physician and practiced for many years in Marysville, California. His death occurred in 1926, at the age of seventy-five years. His wife was born in New York state, went to California with an uncle about 1868 and still resides in that state. Stanley G. Jewett attended the public and high schools and entered Leland Stanford University, from which he was graduated in 1906. For awhile he worked on his father's ranches and was also employed in various ways in San Francisco, but on his graduation from college he became connected with the Board of Fire Underwriters of that city. In 1907 he was transferred to British Columbia, where he was engaged for one and a half years as chief surveyor for the Mainland Board of Underwriters. In 1909 he came to Portland with the Board of Fire Underwriters and was in charge of the Idaho district until February, 1910, when he engaged in the general insurance business in partnership with Henry Hewett. Mr. Hewett died in 1915 and Mr. Jewett carried the business on under the same name for several years. He is now a member of the firm of Jewett, Barton & Leavy, and is acting as agent for Lloyds in Portland, adjusting all claims. He is an alert and enterprising business man, is a successful insurance salesman and commands the respect of all who deal with him, due to his courtesy, tactfulness and honorable methods. On February 14, 1912, Mr. Jewett was united in marriage to Miss Leslie Weidler, of Portland, and they have two children, William and Peter. The republican party received Mr. Jewett's earnest support and he is a member of the Arlington Club, the University Club, the Waverly Country Club, the Multnomah Athletic Club and the Chamber of Commerce. He is secretary and a director of the Merchants Exchange now serving his third year. He has shown a commendable interest in the general welfare of his city and in his career has exemplified a high type of citizenship, so that he is well worthy of the confidence and respect which are accorded him by his fellowmen. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
