Edward M. Doe

A large proportion of the work in Coconino county involving grave complications 
falls for legal adjustment into the capable hands of Mr. Doe.  A member of the 
bar at Flagstaff, his reputation as a profound and erudite student of the law 
is by no means confined to the limits of his ambitious little town, but extends 
throughout and beyond the county, representing a large general practice, as 
well as arduous accomplishment along special lines.

The education and character-foundation of Mr. Doe were acquired in Iowa, 
whither his parents removed from Vermont in the early ‘50s.  He was born in 
Cabot, Washington county, Vt., in 1850, studied in the public schools of Iowa 
City, and was graduated from the collegiate department of the Iowa State 
University in 1870, and from the law department of the same institution the 
following year.  For several years afterward he engaged in a general practice 
in Iowa, removing thence to Fort Worth, Tex., where he remained a few years.  
In the spring of 1887 he came to Flagstaff, and conducted a law practice in 
partnership with W. G. Stewart, the firm name being Stewart & Doe.  Of great 
benefit to Mr. Doe was this association with Mr. Stewart, who, for several 
years before his death was a prominent politician, and active in the separation 
of Coconino county from Yavapai county.  As a result of this separation, Mr. 
Doe was appointed by Governor Irwin the first district attorney of the new 
county, and has since taken an active interest in local and territorial 
political matters, never departing from his allegiance to the best tenets of 
the Republican party.

The services of Mr. Doe are retained by the Saginaw Southern Railroad Company, 
the Saginaw Lumber Company, the Arizona Cattle Company, the J. M. Dennis 
Company and the Arizona Central Bank.  Besides these, he attends to the work of 
numerous local firms, the whole constituting about all of the important legal 
business of the county.  For many years he has acted as attorney for the Santa 
Fe Pacific Railroad Company.  His practice carries him into all of the courts 
of the territory, and his close attention to his profession, and the universal 
satisfaction which has attended his efforts has resulted in a wide popularity 
and confidence, as well as large pecuniary returns.  Fraternally he is 
associated with the Elks.
