CHARLES A. SATHER, of Bellingham, is regarded as one of the greatest trial 
lawyers in the state, a man of remarkable resourcefulness.  Mr. Sather was 
born in Iowa, in 1887.  His early education was had in the public schools of 
that state, while his legal training was received in University of Nebraska, 
from which he graduated in 1903 with the LL. B. degree.  He also attended 
Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa.  He was admitted to the bar in Nebraska in 
1903, and the same year came to Bellingham, where he was admitted to the 
Washington bar.  As a trial lawyer I do not believe that Mr. Sather has a 
superior in the northwest.  As an orator he is equaled by few and the points 
he makes in argument are always logical and based squarely upon the law.  He 
neither gives, asks nor expects quarter in the trial of a case, but at the 
same times shows every courtesy and consideration for the opposition.  Mr. 
Sather enjoys the distinction of being one of the most pains taking and 
successful members of the bar, and looks after a long and representative 
clientele.  In 1904 Mr. Sather enjoys the distinction of being one of the most 
pains taking and successful members of the bar, and looks after a long and 
representative clientele.  In 1904 Mr. Sather was united in marriage to Miss 
Emma V. Shearer, and the couple have one child of their own, and two adopted 
children.  He is a member of the Elks, Woodmen of the World, Chamber of 
Commerce, and county and state bar associations.
