     LOU WAGNER, who is actively engaged in the practice of law in Portland, 
has spent practically his entire life in this city and those who know him best 
are numbered among his warmest admirers, having found him loyal and true in 
every relation of life. Mr. Wagner was born in San Francisco, California, on 
the 8th of February, 1876, and is a son of Nathan and Emma (Rothchild) Wagner, 
who had located in that city in 1873. In 1876 the father brought his family to 
Portland, where for many years he was engaged in the meat business, and here 
his death occurred. He was one of the early members of the Washington Home 
Guards and of Hose Company No. 3 of the old volunteer fire department.

     Lou Wagner received a good public school education. For eighteen years he 
served as constable and then became a special agent for the Portland Street 
Railway Company. While acting in that capacity he took up the study of law and 
eventually entered the law school of the University of Oregon, from which he 
was graduated in 1915. Since that time he has devoted his attention to the 
practice of law, having his offices in the Porter building. He specializes in 
criminal law and has been more than ordinarily successful, being determined, 
painstaking and resourceful, and has gained an enviable reputation for 
dependability, both as trial lawyer and as office counselor.

     In 1904 Mr. Wagner was united in marriage to Miss Dora Lippman, who was 
born in San Francisco. He is a republican in his political views and has in no 
respect been neglectful of his obligations of citizenship. For the past twenty-
seven years he has been a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks 
and he belongs to the United Artisans and the Independent Order of B'nai 
B'rith. He has devoted his attention closely to his professional work and has 
the record of having been away from Portland not more than thirty days during 
the fifty-two years that he has lived here. Cordial and friendly in manner, he 
has a wide circle of acquaintances and is deservedly popular throughout the 
city.
