RAYMOND F. BODY
Raymond F. Body is a well-known and
successful attorney of Los Angeles, maintaining an office in Suite 1234 of the
Western Pacific Building. He was born in
Cleveland, Ohio, January 15, 1891, a son of Frank F. and Mary E. Body. His early education, acquired in the schools
of his native city, was supplemented by a course at John Carroll University of
Cleveland, Ohio, while subsequently he studied law at St. Louis University in
Missouri. His professional training was continued
at Georgetown University of Washington, D. C., from which institution he was
graduated with the degree of LL. B.
Admitted to the Ohio bar in 1915, he engaged in law practice in the
Buckeye state for a decade and then in 1925 came to California and was admitted
to practice here, having since followed his profession in the city of Los
Angeles. The careful regard evinced for
the interests of his clients and an assiduous and unrelaxing
attention to all the details of his cases, have brought him a large business
and made him very successful in its conduct.
His name is on the membership rolls of the Oho State Bar Association,
the California State Bar Association and the Los Angeles Bar Association.
In 1918 Mr. Body was united in
marriage to Miss Marie B. Liechti, a native of
Pennsylvania, and they are now the parents of five children, namely: Mary Ellen, Julia Marie, Alice Marie, Ann
Frances and Paul Francis. The last named
was the first child baptized in the new church of St. Paul the Apostle in
Westwood Hills.
Mr. Body served in the World War
with the Eighty-third Division from December, 1917, to February, 1919. He is now a first lieutenant in the judge
advocate’s department of the United States Army Reserve. He has membership in the American Legion,
also belongs to the Jonathan Club and fraternally is identified with the
Knights of Columbus of the third degree and with the Benevolent and Protective
