     MARK M. MATTHIESSEN.  Studiousness, combined with the habit of 
thoroughness, has enabled Mark M. Matthiessen to advance steadily in the 
profession of his choice and in legal circles of Portland he occupies a place 
of prominence. He was born October 10, 1882, in Monticello, Iowa, and is a son 
of Anton and Louisa (Rettig) Matthiessen. His father is a retired implement 
dealer and the mother has passed away. Mark M. Matthiessen completed his 
education in Stanford University, from which he received the degree of J. D. 
in 1911, and since his admission to the bar he has practiced in Portland. His 
services are much in demand in the organization and reorganization of 
corporations, in devising methods to meet business needs, in rescuing 
commercial interests from disastrous conditions and in furnishing plans for 
rehabilitation.  He is a member of the well known firm of Wood, Montague & 
Matthiessen, which occupies a suite of offices in the Yeon building and 
conducts a large and important law business.
     In 1917 Mr. Matthiessen was united in marriage to Miss Agnes Hutchins, a 
member of one of the prominent families of Portland. Mr. Matthiessen casts his 
ballot for the candidates of the republican party but is not active in 
politics. He is a Mason, a life member of the Multnomah Club, and also belongs 
to the City Club and the local, state and national bar associations. To those 
projects which are destined to prove of benefit to Portland he lends the 
weight of his support and is endowed with those qualities which inspire esteem 
and friendship.
