     One of the able and prominent members of the Multnomah county bar is 
Glenn E. Husted, of Portland, who has been identified as counsel with many of 
the most important cases in the county, state and federal courts and has 
gained wide recognition as an able, experienced and dependable attorney. Mr. 
Husted was born in Kalamazoo county, Michigan, on the 27th of August, 1874, 
and is a son of Thomas Edward and Elcey A. (Cheney) Husted. The family has 
long been established in this country, Mr. Husted being a direct descendant of 
Robert Husted, who was one of the five founders of Greenwich, Connecticut, in 
1635.

     Mr. Husted completed the courses of the public and high schools in his 
native state and entered the law school of Columbia University (now George 
Washington), at Washington, D. C., from which he was graduated with the degree 
of Bachelor of Laws in 1899, receiving also from his alma mater the degree of 
Master of Laws in 1900 and that of Doctor of Civil Law in 1901. He was 
admitted to the bar at Washington, D. C., in 1899, and entered the department 
of justice, in which he served for a number of years, as assistant attorney, 
as attorney, and later as special assistant attorney-general. In 1912 he came 
to Portland in connection with the Oregon-California land grant case, and two 
years later resigned from the department of justice and, establishing his 
permanent residence in Portland, engaged in the general practice of law. He 
has here gained distinctive recognition as a capable, energetic and successful 
practitioner and commands a large and representative clientele. He is counsel 
for the Federal Savings and Loan Association, was one of the attorneys for the 
government in the noted Harriman case, during the Roosevelt administration, to 
unmerge the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads and has been employed 
in other important government cases.

     On June 9, 1897, Mr. Husted was united in marriage to Miss Mary J. 
Simmers, a daughter of J. A. and Annie Simmers, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and 
to them have been born two children, David Simmers, who was graduated from the 
University of Oregon with the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Doctor of 
Jurisprudence, and is now associated with his father in the practice of law, 
and Janet Winifred, who is a student in the Oregon State College, at 
Corvallis. Mr. Husted is a republican in his political affiliation, and is a 
member of Portland Lodge, No. 55, A. F. & A. M.; the University Club, the 
Portland Realty Board, the Multnomah County Bar Association, the Oregon State 
Bar Association and the American Bar Association. During the World war Mr. 
Husted was in the officers training camp at Eugene, Oregon, and has always 
evinced the highest type of loyalty to his community and his country, while as 
a lawyer he has been a worthy exemplar of the ethics and traditions of his 
profession.
