LAURENCE MACOMBER

 

 

MACOMBER, LAURENCE, Attorney at Law, Los Angeles, California, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, May 21, 1885, the son of George Arthur Macomber and Harriett Osgood Macomber.  He married Maide Wall in Oakland, California, December 5, 1908, and to them there were born a son, George Hampton Macomber.  He is descended from one of the old New England families, his ancestors having come over in the Mayflower, later members serving the Colonies in the Revolutionary War.

            Mr. Macomber received his preliminary education in private schools of Boston, but having moved West in his youth, finished his education in California.  He was graduated from Throop Polytechnic Institute of Pasadena and then entered the Law School of Leland Stanford, Jr. University.  He left college in the early part of 1909 and was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of California in April 14 of the same year.

            Following his admission to practice, Mr. Macomber became associated with Judge S. C. Denson of San Francisco, and remained with him for nearly two years.  At that time he moved to Los Angeles and he has been engaged in practice there down to date.  He has made a specialty of corporation law and beside his legal work is interested in various industrial and land companies.

            Although he is one of the most active young professional men in Los Angeles, Mr. Macomber devotes considerable time to special subjects outside of his own business and is a student of industrial and social problems, taking a special interest in the George Junior Republic at Chino, California.

            Mr. Macomber is a member of the California Bar Association, Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, the Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena, City Club of Los Angeles and the Ad Club of Los Angeles.
