     O. R. WAYMAN is one of the substantial business men of Portland and a 
well known contractor whose labors have been a direct agency in the upbuilding 
and improvement of the city as well as a source of individual success. He was 
born August 23, 1886, in Chicago, Illinois, and is a son of A. and Sophia 
(Peterson) Wayman. His education was acquired in the public schools of his 
native city, in which he remained until he reached the age of twenty-three 
years, gradually working his way upward in the commercial world. In 1909 he 
journeyed to the Pacific northwest, choosing Portland as the scene of his 
activities as a general contractor, and is now at the head of a large 
business, developed by close attention to details, good management and 
honorable dealing. His skill in construction work is exemplified in the 
Medical Arts and Fitzpatrick buildings, the first unit of the Kenton school, 
the Kellogg and Fir schools, and public dock No. 1, all of which are located 
in Portland.

     Mr. Wayman married Miss Sophia Nystrom, of this city, and they have 
become the parents of a son, Earl Kenneth, who is sixteen years of age. Mr. 
Wayman is identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and has 
attained the thirty-second degree in Masonry. He is an adherent of the 
republican party and cooperates in all movements for Portland's growth and 
betterment. Early in life he realized the value of industry, determination and 
perseverance and these traits have shaped his career, which has been crowned 
with success.
