THOMAS STEVENSON, of Bremerton, is one of the successful members of the bar of 
western Washington .  Mr. Stevenson is a native of Scotland, and was born in 
1877.  His academic training was had in the public schools of that country, 
while his legal training was in the Illinois Westlind University from which he 
graduated in 1898 with the degree of LL. B.  He took the A. B. degree from 
this institution in 1899.  It was in 1904 that Mr. Stevenson came to 
Bremerton, and the following year was admitted to the bar in this state.  For 
three years, 1905-6-7, he was city attorney of Bremerton.  In court he is 
alert, progressive and thorough.  He fights valiantly in the interests of a 
client, neither giving nor asking quarter, and in the majority of instances 
wins his case.  In trying a case, at no time does he permit himself to do 
anything that might in any manner result in confusion to witness is falsifying 
as anyone I know.  A man of splendid legal knowledge, he has made advancement 
in the practice of his profession that any man could well afford to feel proud 
of.  In 1903 he was married to Miss Emma J. Stahl, and the couple have one 
child, a girl.  He is a thirty-second degree Mason, Shriner, and Elk, as well 
as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and the county and state bar 
associations.
