THOMAS S. LOUTTIT
Typical of the opportunities which
the city of Stockton offers to its native-born sons is the life of Thomas S.
Louttit, who has risen to a foremost position at the bar of his home town. Here he was born on July 11, 1876; here the
foundation of his education was laid in the public and high schools; and here,
too, he began the study of the law under the talented preceptorship of his
father, the late James Alexander Louttit.
Upon the completion of his studies he was admitted to the bar in 1903,
before the supreme court of California in San Francisco, and at once commenced
professional work in partnership with his father under the firm title of
Louttit & Louttit, which connection continued until the death of the senior
partner three years later. A sketch of James A. Louttit will be found on
another page in this history. After his
father’s death in 1906, Thomas S. Louttit formed a partnership with De Witt
Clary under the name of Clary & Louttit, in which he continued until the
death of Mr. Clary; then, in 1919, he formed a partnership with Gordon A.
Stewart, the firm name being Louttit & Stewart.
Mr. Louttit was married in 1898 to
Miss Anna Jane Hunter, a native of San Joaquin County, and a daughter of H. M. &
Anna J. (Ortman) Hunter. Her mother came
of one of the pioneer families of the county.
Mr. and Mrs. Louttit are the parents of one son, Thomas Hunter. Fraternally Mr. Louttit is a member of
Stockton Parlor, No. 7, N. S. G. W., and San Joaquin Blue Lodge, No. 19, of the
Masons. He is also a member of the
Stockton Elks, No. 218. He was a charter
member and the first president of the Kiwanis Club of Stockton, and is a member
of the Stockton Golf and Country Club and the Yosemite Club. He is a director in the Morris Plan Bank of
Stockton, and a director in the Bank of Manteca. At the city election on May 2, 1922, he was
elected secretary of the Board of Freeholders to frame a new charter for the
city of Stockton.
