THOMAS A. STIGER, Prosecuting Attorney for Snohomish county, is not only a 
well qualified lawyer of Everett, but also one of the best prosecutors in the 
state.  Mr. Stiger was born in the state of Ohio in 1873, and after receiving 
his academic training in public schools, attended the Ohio State University, 
from which he graduated in 1899 with the LL. B. degree, and was admitted to 
the bar the same year.  For four years he served as County Superintendent of 
Public Education in Snohomish county, his term of office expiring in 1908.  
From 1905 to 1909 Mr. Stiger also served as a member of the State Board of 
Education, and from 1909 to 1919 was a member of the Everett Board of 
Education.  Indeed I doubt very much if there is another resident of Snohomish 
county who has devoted more time to the cause of education than Mr. Stiger.  
It was in 1919 that Mr. Stiger took office as Prosecuting Attorney and has 
since that time succeeded in establishing a record in that office of which 
surely he has every reason to feel proud.  Mr. Stiger, in 1904, married Miss 
Annie R. Raymond, and the couple have three children, a girl and two boys.  
Mr. Stiger is a Mason, Elk, and also a Knight of Pythias.  During the world 
war he was an active worker and did splendid service in handling bond issues, 
being captain of one of the most successful teams.  He was also a member of 
the legal advisory board for several years.  Mr. Stiger has also served on the 
Y. M. C. A. board.
