Elijah H. Matthews, one of the substantial lawyers of Cincinnati, was born at New Vienna, Ohio, October 16, 1884, and educated in its public schools. His professional training which was rigid and thorough was secured in the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was graduated in 1905 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and Yale University from which he was graduated in 1912 with the degree of Master of Laws. Immediately thereafter Mr. Matthews entered upon a private practice at Cincinnati, but later organized the firm of Matthews & Matthews which still continues. While a student at Yale University he was made a member of the college fraternity Phi Alpha Delta. A man with a keen sense of civic responsibility he maintains membership with the Business Men's Club and the Young Men's Christian Association. He is a Knight Templar Mason, York Rite. His excellent business judgment has led to his being elected president of the Hamilton County Bank on Woodlawn avenue, and this institution is progressing under his executive control. During the period he has been a member of his profession, Mr. Matthews has won the substantial reputation of being a close student of the law and a painstaking, able and strictly reliable lawyer, and his advice is sought by several prominent business concerns at Cincinnati and other points in Ohio where he is well known.
