Attorney Dies at 73
Raleigh Stott is Dead – Well-Known Lawyer Succumbs To Heart Disease.
Expires Without Warning—His Career as a Lawyer and Citizen.
Judge Raleigh Stott, a pioneer of Portland, and one of the most prominent attorneys of the state, died suddenly of heart disease at 12:15 this morning, at his residence, 349 Jefferson street. While talking with his wife his breathing became difficult, and in a few minutes he was dead. Dr. A. C. Panton, who was summoned, arrived too late to be of any assistance.
As far as known Judge Stott had been in the best of health up to the time of his death. He had been in his office every day, and was frequently seen on street corners chatting to old friends or clients. He was a man of vigorous appearance, and nothing was further from the thoughts of his friends than that he might be affected with heart disease.
Judge Stott was the head of the law firm of Stott & Stout, and had long been a leading member of the bar. He was born in Indiana in 1845, and six years later came to Oregon with his parents, who located in Washington County. He was graduated from Pacific University in 1860, and was admitted to the bar in 1870. In 1873 he removed to Portland, where he took up the practice of his profession, attaining an almost immediate place in the front rank of the lawyers of the city. In 1874 he was elected to the Legislature from Multnomah County. In 1876 he was elected Attorney of the Fourth Judicial District, and in 1880 was made Judge of the same district. He was always prominent in the Republican party, having for 25 years been a member of state and county conventions and frequently took the stump, being always in great demand as a speaker.
He left a widow, a daughter and a son, Miss Susie and Plowden Stott. Mrs. James Laidlaw, George and Lansing Stout and Mrs. C. E. Chenery are his step-daughters and sons.
Judge Stott was widely known in Portland as well as throughout the state, and numbered among his friends scores of prominent men in Oregon as well as in the Nation at large. He was a man of genial, kindly disposition, of large attainments, and of fine character. The news of his death will come as a shock to all who knew him.
