Cary Melvin Rader, a leading member of the bar of Walla Walla, engaged in

general practice, was born in Carroll county, Indiana, July 27, 1868. His father,

Solomon Rader, was also. a native of the Hoosier state, born October 8, 1827. He

devoted ,his life to farming in early ..manhood and afterward took up merchan-

dising. He was a veteran of the Indian wars of the northwest and crossed the

plains in 1852. He participated in the Modoc and Rogue River wars of 1853

and 1857. Later he returned to Indiana and became actively identified

with its agricultural and commercial interests. But longing for the west he

came to Walla Walla, Washington, in 19Ol, there remmnmg until his death, which

occurred December 2, 1912. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Martha

Ann Stewart, was born in Indiana, May 3 ° , 1827, and is still living at the

notable old age of ninety years, her home being in Walla WMla.

Cary M. Rader was the only child of that marriage. He obtained a com-

mon school education in his native state and afterward attended the Central

Normal College at Danville, Indiana, where he pursued a law course. He

was there graduated on the 28th of July, 1891, and was admitted to the bar,

but in May, 1892, came to Walla .W.alla. and has s,nce .been an active rep.re-

sentative of the legal profession of thas caty. He entered into partnership'with

Senator Poindexter, with-whom he was associated for about four years, after

which he practiced alone for a few years, and then became a partner of Frank

B Sharpstein. Their connection continued for four years and Mr. Rader was

then alone in practice for a brief period. He afterward entered into partner-

ship with W. R. King, who later became a supreme judge of Oregon, and upon

the dissolution of that partnership he became connected with E. F. Barker,

forming the present firm of Rader & Barker. This association has since been

maintained and the firm occupies a very prominent position at the Walla Walla

bar. Along with those qualities indispensable to the lawyer Mr. Rader brought

to the starting point of his legal career certain rare gifts, including forceful-

ness of expression and a strong personality. He possesses a keen, rapid, log-

ical mind, plus the business sense, and a ready capacity for hard work. He

has, too, an excellent presence, an earnest, dignified manner and marked strength

of character, which, combined with a thorough grasp of the law and the abil-

ity to accurately apply its principles, has made him a most effective advocate

and a wise counselor. While continuing in general law practice, he has spe-
