RAY C. WARING
RAY C. WARING.--A thoroughly proficient executive, whose efficient
administration of an important public trust reflected the highest degree of
credit both upon himself and upon the eminent department he so ably
represented, is Ray C. Waring, until recently, the
deputy district attorney of Sacramento County, and formerly a deputy of the
state supreme court. He was born in the capital city, on December 17, 1878, and his parents were Charles A. and Mary (Van Guelder) Waring. His mother's
folks came out to California in 1852, and his father, an attorney-at-law, was a native
son. An uncle of his father was the first settler in the town of Washington, Yolo County.
Ray Waring
attended the grammar schools of Sacramento, and then went to Boone's Academy, at Berkeley, where he studied law privately. Later he was admitted to
practice in the courts of California. He had previously been in the secretary of state's
office, and he was appointed deputy clerk of the supreme court of the
State of California in 1911. He has a thorough knowledge of the law; and he
has become a favorite with all who have any dealings with him on account of his
affability, and his desire to serve. He is a member of the Native Sons of the
Golden West, and he has the honor to serve on the state central committee of
the Republican party. Fraternally, Mr. Waring is a Scottish Rite Mason, an Elk, a member of the
Mystic Shrine, and also an Odd Fellow. He enjoys a deserved popularity and
wields an enviable influence in the councils of the Republican party, and as a broad-minded, non-partisan booster in local
affairs.
