     BARRETT D. RANDALL.  Advancement at the bar is proverbially slow, yet in 
this difficult profession Barrett D. Randall has steadily progressed, becoming 
firmly established in public regard as one of Portland's able attorneys and 
wise counselors. He was born in Rochester, New York, in 1886 and is a son of 
Hiram and Sara Randall, the former a retired jeweler. After the completion of 
his public school course Barrett D. Randall matriculated in the St. Paul 
College of Law and was graduated with the class of 1914. Meanwhile his summers 
had been spent in southern Oregon, where he had purchased a stock ranch, and 
for a few months after his graduation he lived on the farm, which he retained 
until 1919. In the fall of 1915 he was called to the east by the illness of 
his mother, remaining at home until her death, and in 1916 returned to Oregon. 
Since that time he has practiced in Portland, specializing in corporation and 
finance law, and within a period of twelve years he has established a large 
clientele. Much time and thought are devoted to the preparation of his cases 
and in their presentation he is always well fortified by a comprehensive 
understanding of the legal principles applicable thereto.

     In 1916 Mr. Randall married Miss Marie Cathey, a daughter of Dr. B. A. 
Cathey, of Portland, and they now have two children, Martha and Helen. Mr. 
Randall is a Mason and a member of the Multnomah County and Oregon State Bar 
Associations. In politics he is a republican and heartily cooperates in 
movements for the benefit of the city and state with which he has allied his 
interests. He upholds the high standards of the legal profession and his many 
good qualities have won for him a secure place in public esteem.
