    John W. Devanney is one of Cincinnati's attorneys of pronounced character,
whether considered from the standpoint of his professional attainments or from
the viewpoint of progressive citizenship. He was born at Glendale, Ohio, April
26, 1875, and as a youth was brought by his parents to Cincinnati where he
secured his primary educational training in the parochial schools of St.
Gabriel's Catholic Church parish. Later he was a student at St. Xavier's College
and after graduating therefrom entered the Cincinnati Law School and completed
his course in 1901, at that time receiving the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Mr.
Devanney at once entered upon the practice of his calling at Cincinnati and
gradually built up a large and representative clientele, to the interests of
which he devoted his energies and abilities until 1908. At that time he received
the appointment of Governor Harmon to the position of executive secretary of the
occupant of the gubernatorial office, and during the administration of Governor
Harmon performed the duties of that position. Returning to Cincinnati he resumed
the practice of law in which he has since continued with notable success. He has
carried on a general practice, independent of partners, and numbers among his
clients some of the prominent people and concerns of the city, his offices being
in the Second National Bank Building. He has various interests of a business
nature and connections of a social character, and his religious affiliation is
with St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, of which he has been a member since boyhood
and a generous supporter in all its movements.
