George C. Stout, a prominent young attorney, died yesterday morning at 11:15 at St. Vincent’s Hospital. Since December he had been suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, and a few weeks ago he underwent an operation which afforded only temporary relief.
Mr. Stout was born in Portland, December 24, 1869. His father was Lancing Stout, who was elected County Judge at the first election held in Oregon under the state constitution, and who was also the first Republican Representative in Congress after the admission of Oregon into the Union. His father died when George Stout was but an infant. The boy was educated in Portland, and after completing the common school course, commenced the study of law in the office of Stott, Waldo, Smith, Stott and Boise, the senior member of which, the late judge Raleigh Stott, was George Stout’s stepfather. After taking the regular law course in the University of Oregon Law School, the young man was admitted to the bar in May 1892. Since that time he was engaged in active practice, part of the time as a member of the firm Stott, Boise & Stout. Since the death of his stepfather, a year ago, he had not been a member of the law firm, but was often called in to serve in important cases. Before his death he had recently returned from trying a case in the United State Supreme Court, winning for his clients and acquitting himself with great credit.
He was a Democrat in politics, and although he took a great interest in public affairs never held public office. He was a prominent member of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and a charter member of the local branch of the Knights of Columbus. In his profession and with everyone with whom he came in contact he was popular and respected, and a host of friends will mourn the loss of his genial presence.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Raleigh Stott, his brothers, Lansing Stout and Plowden Stott, and his sisters, Mrs. James Laidlaw, Mrs. Charles Chenery and Miss Susan Stott.
The funeral will take place tomorrow from the Cathedral and interment will be at Riverview cemetery.
