HIATT T. HIATT
HIATT T. HIATT.--An eminent, successful attorney, who worthily represents the bar of California is Hiatt T. Hiatt, a native of Woodland, Cal., where he was born on December 15, 1889. He attended first the local grammar school, and then the high school of his home district; and when old enough to plunge deeply into books and lore, studied law privately.
In January, 1910, Mr. Hiatt was admitted to practice in the state of California, and soon afterward he entered the law offices of Messrs. DeLigne & Jones, in Sacramento, where he remained until he was ready to practice for himself. His patriotism led him to abandon professional work and ambition, however, when the World War came to involve his native country; and for nine months he was in France as a private. In November, 1919, he returned to Sacramento and entered into partnership with Frank Gafney, whose office was in the Ochsner Building; and he has contributed his share to the success of the firm, which is considered one of the most dependable legal firms in northern California. He was also admitted to practice in the federal courts, and this has given him and his partner a real advantage from which their patrons frequently profit. He belongs to the state and county bar associations, and is a valued pillar in the Republican party.
Mr. Hiatt is a Mason, of the York Rite, and a past grand high priest of the Royal Arch. He is fond of baseball and likes outdoor life especially.
