LEWIS COUNTRYMAN

Hon. Lewis Countryman, of the law firm of Weaver Clarke & Countryman, was among the first who reached Oklahoma City on the afternoon of April 22, 1889. He was born at Cleveland, Ohio, February 27th, 1837. In 1884 he went with his parents to Rock county, Wisconsin, where he learned the mill wright trade with his father and followed that trade up to the year 1865. In 1854 he moved to West Union, Iowa, and in 1861 he crossed the plains to Marysville, California, remaining there until July 1869, when he went to Washal City, Nevada. He left Nevada in October 1865, returning to the states via the Isthmus of Panama. He engaged at once in farming and stock business at Cedar Rapids and at Woodbury county, Iowa, and was soon known as one of the leading business men of that portion of the state. About this time he commenced to investigate the fraudulent land grants in Western, Iowa, and after being admitted to the bar entered upon the land practice as the representative of the settlers. He was eminently successful both in the Iowa courts and at Washington, recovering nearly 30,000 acres of valuable land. Mr. Countryman has given great attention to land contest cases in Oklahoma. Having been interested for many years in the movement to open this country to settlement, and having had much experience in energetic, western life, Mr. Countryman is just the man to aid in utilizing the resources of a new territory and in laying the foundation of a new state.
