U. S. G. MARQUAM

     a member of the Portland Bar, represents in his person the success which
goes hand-in-hand with hard study and sturdy ambition. He is a native of Oregon,
and was born in Portland on July 3d, 1863. He attended the common school of this
city, and acquired the foundation for a practical education. The law appealed to
him as a desirable profession, and accordingly he entered the State University
of Oregon, where he took his initial course in legal studies. Regularly
attending the lectures in the law department, he lost no opportunity to acquire
all the information he could, until, in 1885, he was prepared to graduate. His
admission to the Bar followed immediately after. A short time after entering his
profession, Mr. Marquam was married to Miss Julia Groner, of Washington County,
Ore., a lady of talent and cultivation. While a young man yet, Mr. Marquam is
pursuing a promising career in the legal circles of the State. He is earnest and
conscientious in his undertakings, and constant in his endeavor to win the
praise of his clients. Always vigilant in his work, he devotes himself entirely
to whatever subject demands his attention. His diligence invests his methods
with an earnestness that acts advantageously in his favor when contesting a case
in court. In his course thus far through life Mr. Marquam justifies all that
friendly criticism may say of him, and looking down the long vista of his future
career the prospect seems favorable.
