HUBERT LINCOLN SHATTUCK.

	Hubert Lincoln Shattuck, attorney at law and former judge of the 
second judicial district of Colorado and well known as a leader in 
republican circles, was born in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, August 20, 
1865. His father, Joseph C. Shattuck, is a native of New Hampshire and 
was a teacher by profession, in which field of activity he won 
prominence. He became the first state superintendent of public 
instruction in Colorado, having removed to this state in 1870 with the 
Union colony. He settled at Greeley and through the intervening years 
has had an important part in shaping public interests of the 
commonwealth. In 1874 he served as a member of the Colorado legislature 
and was influential in formulating the school laws and land laws of the 
state. He is now living retired at University Park at the age of 
eighty-three years. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Harriet Mason 
Knight, was a native of New Hampshire and died in January, 1910.

	Hubert L. Shattuck was a pupil in the public and high schools of 
Greeley, having been a little lad of but five summers at the time of 
the removal of the family to Colorado. He afterward attended the 
University of Denver, in which he completed a course of study in 1889 
with the Bachelor of Science degree. He next entered the Denver Law 
School and won his LL. B. degree as a member of the class of 1893. 
During his college days he became a member of Beta Theta Pi. Admitted 
to the Denver bar in the year of his graduation, he practiced alone for 
a time and then joined Halsted L. Ritter in the firm of Harris, Ritter 
& Shattuck. A later change in the partnership relation led to the 
adoption of the firm style of Hitter & Shattuck, the partners 
concentrating their efforts and attention upon general law practice. 
Mr. Shattuck was made clerk of the county court on the 15th of 
February, 1898, and so served until May 1, 1901. He has done important 
work along political lines as secretary of the republican central 
committee of his county in the year 1906 and for many years as 
committeeman in his precinct. He has labored untiringly to advance 
republican successes because of a firm belief in the party principles 
and in 1906 he was elected district judge of the second judicial 
district, taking his place upon the bench in 1907 and so serving for a 
term of six years. He then resumed the practice of law, entering into 
partnership with Greeley W. Whitford, under the style of Whitford & 
Shattuck, an association that was maintained for two years, at the end 
of which time the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Shattuck has since 
practiced alone.

	In January, 1900, Mr. Shattuck was united in marriage to Miss 
Katharine Porter, a daughter of Robert Porter, a California pioneer of 
1853. Mrs. Shattuck was born in Hydesville, California, in January, 
1869, and by her marriage has become the mother of five children: Edith 
Virginia, who is a student in the South Denver high school, belonging 
to the class of 1919; Robert C., born June 7, 1904, now in the South 
Denver high school with the class of 1922; and Katharine Porter, 
Frances Elizabeth, and Margaret Ritnor. The younger children are also 
in school.

	Mr. Shattuck is well known in Masonic circles, belonging to 
Temple Lodge, No. 84, A. F. & A. M.; Colorado Chapter, No. 29, R. A. 
M., of which he is past high priest; and Colorado Commandery, No. 1, K. 
T. He is past master of his lodge and he is identified with the drill 
corps of the Knight Templar commandery, which took the three thousand 
dollar prize at Louisville, Kentucky, in August, 1901, competing 
against crack companies throughout the United States. Mr. Shattuck is 
also a very active and prominent member of the University Park 
Methodist Episcopal church. He was formerly identified with Trinity 
church and for two years was Sunday school superintendent. He has also 
served on the official board of the church and has long had a class of 
boys in the Sunday school. He does everything in his power to promote 
moral progress and to establish in the minds of the young standards 
that will mold character throughout life. His father was a 
distinguished pioneer and legislator of the state and through all the 
years down to the present time the name of Shattuck has figured 
conspicuously and honorably upon the pages of Denver's history, Hubert 
Lincoln Shattuck being today widely recognized as an able lawyer and as 
a progressive citizen, who throughout his entire life has measured up 
to the highest standards of manhood.
