D. Virginia Law Book Company; Charleston, W.Va.; 1919 Pages 446-447, Hon. Frank Cruise Haymond, A.B., LL.B. Our subject is the third in line of noted lawyers in one Marion County family. His grandfather was an eminent Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. His father at this time is serving as a Circuit Court Judge in the State, and Frank C. is one of the rapidly growing lawyers of the same county of which all three of them are natives. The youngest of the trio was born at Fairmont, the county seat of Marion County, April 13, 1887. His early training was in the public schools of the City of Fairmont; he then graduated from the State Normal School in that city; next he entered Harvard University, Massachusetts, from which he graduated A.B. in the class of 1910; he then entered the Law Department of the same University and graduated in 1912. He returned to Fairmont, West Virginia, and was made a member of that Bar, December 6 of that year. Being thoroughly educated in the technique of all branches of the profession, he was not long in gathering about him a profitable clientele. He was thereafter admitted to practice in all the State and Federal Courts of West Virginia, also the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Judicial Circuit at Richmond, Virginia. Shortly after he began to practice he was appointed a Commissioner in Chancery of the Intermediate Court of Marion County, which position he creditably filled and still holds. In politics he followed the footsteps of his father and grandfather and became a Democrat. In 1916 he was elected a member of the West Virginia Legislature from Marion County and proved to be an active and efficient legislator. He, however, kept up his law practice during the two years he was a member of the Legislature. In 1918 he answered the call of his country by volunteering as a soldier in the war between Germany and the allied nations that stand for liberty, civilization and progress. He is an upright young man, thoroughly honest in heart and purpose, and has, thus far, acquitted himself honorably in all of his undertakings. If his life be spared, which we sincerely hope it will be, we feel confident he will return to his home and greatly add to the achievements he has already made as a member of the West Virginia Bar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Birth Register, Marion County WV, 1887, Page 263, Line 189-1/2 Frank Cruise Haymond, born April 13, 1887 in Fairmont WV son of William Stanley Haymond (lawyer) and Agnes B.
