DAVID B. LYMAN
A distinguished member of the legal
fraternity of San Joaquin County who has added much to the prestige of the bar
in this part of the state is David B. Lyman, whose ability and activity have
won a place of standing for him during his residence here. My Lyman was born in Chicago, Illinois, on
July 11, 1871, and received his education in the public schools, Racine College
at Racine, Wisconsin, St. Paul’s School, Concord, New Hampshire, and then
entered Yale University, where he was graduated in the class of 1895. His legal training was completed at
Northwestern University, Chicago, where he took a two years’ course, and in
1897 he was admitted to practice in the state and federal courts of Illinois. Here he continued until 1917, when he came to
Stockton and became associated with the legal department of the Holt
Manufacturing Company. After the
entrance of America in the World War, Mr. Lyman was prominent in war service,
working with the War Industries Board and Fuel Administration at Stockton, and
was an associate member of the legal advisory board of the selective service
for San Joaquin County, rendering a service that was of great importance at
this time. Since the War he has
specialized in state and federal law and federal taxation, maintaining offices
in the Commercial & Savings Bank Building at Stockton, where he has a large
clientele.
Closely identified with the life of
the community, Mr. Lyman is a member of the Yosemite Club, the Stockton Golf
& Country Club, the Yale Alumni of San Francisco and the Psi Upsilon
college fraternity; he belongs to the San Joaquin County Bar Association and
the Chicago Bar Association.
