     ROY F. SHIELDS, attorney for the Union Pacific railroad system at 
Portland, has long been recognized as a lawyer of more than ordinary ability 
and has a very successful record at the bar, having been engaged in the 
practice of his profession for the past eighteen years. Mr. Shields was born 
in Lincoln county, Washington, on the 15th of February, 1888, and is a son of 
Z. W. and Lydia (Ludy) Shields. His father, who was born at Cottage Grove, 
Oregon, was a son of William Shields, who crossed the plains to Oregon about 
1854 and took up a donation claim where the town of Cottage Grove now stands. 
Z. W. Shields followed the occupation of farming throughout his active life 
and he and his wife are now deceased.
     Roy F. Shields secured his elementary education in the public schools and 
then entered the law department of Willamette University, from which he was 
graduated in 1910. He located at Salem, where he at once entered upon the 
practice of his profession, remaining there until 1923, when he came to 
Portland as attorney for the Union Pacific system. He served as assistant 
attorney-general of Oregon for two years, 1911-12, giving able and creditable 
service.
     In 1911, Mr. Shields was united in marriage to Miss June Patty, who was 
born in Yamhill county, Oregon, and is a daughter of George M. Patty, who was 
a pioneer of this state. Mr. and Mrs. Shields have four children, Mildred, 
Evelyn and Adelyn, twins, and Franklin. Mr. Shields is a member of the 
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Kiwanis Club, the Multnomah Golf Club 
and the Multnomah Athletic Club, and maintains professional affiliation with 
the Multnomah County Bar Association, the Oregon State Bar Association and the 
American Bar Association. He has been a member of the state board of bar 
examiners for the past five years. He gives his earnest support to the 
republican party and is interested in everything that in any way affects the 
public welfare. Because of his ability and fine personal traits he is held in 
high esteem and is deservedly popular among his associates.
