Los
Angeles County
Biographies
Lloyd R. Massey, one of the
younger members of the Los Angeles bar, has proved a worthy successor of his
honored father, an active and successful representative of the legal profession
in California, for a period covering four decades. He was born in San Rafael, Marin county, this
state, September 20, 1900, his parents being Henry A. and Lorena R.
Massey. The mother still survives and
makes her home in Los Angeles. Henry A.
Massey, a native of New Zealand, came to California in 1888, settling first in
San Francisco, where her maintained his residence until taking up his abode in
Los Angeles in 1903. He was admitted to
the California bar in 1891 and continued in law practice throughout the remainder
of his life, being accorded a representative and remunerative clientele. Fraternally he was affiliated with the
Masons, belonging to California Lodge No. 1.
His death occurred in the year 1931.
Lloyd R. Massey was graduated from
the University of Southern California with the degree of LL. B. in 1925 and the
same year was admitted to the bar. He
followed his chosen profession in association with his father, under the firm
name of Massey & Massey, until the death of the senior partner and during the
past four years has continued in practice alone. He prepared his cases with great care, and at
no time has his reading ever been confined to the limitations of the questions
at issue; it has gone beyond and compassed every contingency and provided not
alone for the expected but for the unexpected, which happens in the courts
quite as frequently as out of them. Mr.
Massey has membership in the Los Angeles Bar Association, the Glendale Bar
Association and the California State Bar Association.
On the 26th of November,
1924, in Los Angeles, Mr. Massey was united in marriage to Harriett
Hallman. They are the parents of a son,
Lloyd R. Massey (II), born on June 1, 1930.
