DAVID B. LYMAN
A distinguished member of the legal fraternity of San Joaquin County who has added much to the prestige of the bar in this part of the state is David B. Lyman, whose ability and activity have won a place of standing for him during his residence here. Mr. Lyman was born in Chicago, Ill., on July 11, 1871, and received his education in the public schools, Racine College at Racine, Wis., St. Paul's School, Concord, N.H., and then entered Yale University, where he was graduated in the class of 1895. His legal training was completed at Northwestern University, Chicago, where he took a two years' course, and in 1897 he was admitted to practice in the state and federal courts of Illinois. Here he continued until 1917, when he came to Stockton and became associated with the legal department of the Holt Manufacturing Company. After the entrance of America in the World War, Mr. Lyman was prominent in war service, working with the War Industries Board and the Fuel Administration at Stockton, and was an associate member of the legal advisory board of the selective service for San Joaquin County, rendering a service that was of great importance at this time. Since the war he has specialized in state and federal law and federal taxation, maintaining offices in the Commercial & Savings Bank Building at Stockton, where he has a large clientele.
Closely identified with the life of the community, Mr. Lyman is a member of the Yosemite Club, the Stockton Golf & Country Club, the Yale Alumni of San Francisco and the Psi Upsilon college fraternity; he belongs to the San Joaquin County Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association.
