Bangor Republican, Congre gationalist,
attorney-at-law, single; age "a Born
in Bangor the son of the late Lewis
Amasa Barker, ESQ., Educated at
Hotchkisc and Hopkinson schools,
Phillips-Andover academy, Brown and
Boston Universities and the law school
of the University of Maine where he
was graduated in June 1900. Imme-
diately upon his admission to the bar
he undertook the work of freeing Stain
and Cromwell in which he was success
full, and which attracted marked at
tention the country over. He is the
first practicing attorney to be sent to
the legisla ture from Bangor since his
| father served in 1899 Mr.. Barker's
grandfather, Hon. Lewis Barker, was
speaker Of the House in 1867, while his
father lost election by only few votes,
and it is being conjectured, even thus
early, whether the present Barker will
be a candidate two years hence. Few
families in Maine can boast Of having
had three generations in the same
house in a.period of 36 years,-the re-
cord Of the Barlers. Nearly all Of
young Mr. Barkcr's great uncles served
in one or two branches in the State
capitol while Hon. Moses Appleton, his
material grandfather, represented Ban
ror in the house in 1889. MANY OF
the Hill family, too, his paternal
grandmother's family, served in one or
! both branches, SO it seems but natural
! that Bangor's youngest representative.
Lewis Appleton Barker, should follow
in the footsteps Of his ancestors.
