ZAGOREN
HYMAN W. ZAGOREN.--A successful attorney whose knowledge of the law, together with his invaluable experience, has enabled him to add lustre to the history of the California bar in Sacramento County, is Hyman W. Zagoren, located in the Farmers & Mechanics Bank Building, Sacramento. He is a native of the Empire State, where he was born, in New York City, on May 21, 1891, the son of Charles and Sarah Zagoren, his father being a business man who came West to San Francisco, and settled in the bay city. As a consequence, Hyman attended the San Francisco public schools, until his father and mother removed to Sacramento, where he availed himself of the business college courses in the evening school.
Our subject meanwhile worked for J. Stoll and as a boy entered the law office of Devlin & Devlin, getting the sum of $2.50 per week for his services.
He was next with White & Miller, and then with George & Hinsdale, seven years in all, and during all this time he was studying law, and with such success that he was admitted to the bar, on February 25, 1915. Since 1916, Mr. Zagoren has been practicing law for himself, in which he has enjoyed a reasonable measure of success. He is a loyal Republican; but his intelligence and patriotism prevent him from withholding generous support to any non-partisan, well directed effort to endorse good men and good measures, especially such as have to do with local issues and local conditions.
In 1913, when at San Francisco, Mr. Zagoren was married to Miss Alice Miller, a daughter of Henry Miller, of San Francisco, and their union has resulted in the birth of two sons, Walter H and Todd Charles Zagoren. Mr. Zagoren is a member of the Order of Elks.
