HIGH UP IN HIS PROFESSION. Sidney Born Man Law Partner of
Ex-President's Son
It is hardly likely that anyone in Sidney will remember Trafton
M. Dye, born in Sidney January 11, 1886, because he was only six
months old when he left here, consequently his acquaintance could
not have been extensive. But there are plenty of old timers who
will readily recall his parents, Prof. and Mrs. Charles H. Dye,
at that long-gone date residents of Sidney, Prof. Dye being
superintendent of the local public schools.
Now comes a story from Oregon City from the boy's mother, Eva
Emery Dye, now a noted writer, author of "McLoughlin and Old
Oregon," "The Conquest" and a few other works of
merit. Mrs. Dye tells friends there that her son has become a law
partner of James R. Garfield, son of ex-President Garfield, with
offices established in Cleveland, Ohio.
The elder Mr. Dye after leaving this section took to the law and
became a prominent figure in the west. Now the son comes to the
fore and promises to even eclipse the father's career.
