THOMAS S. LOUTTIT
 
        Typical of the opportunities which the city of Stockton offers to its 
native-born sons is the life of Thomas S. Louttit, who has risen to a foremost 
position at the bar of his home town. Here he was born on July 11, 1876; here 
the foundation of his education was laid in the public and high schools; and 
here, too, he began the study of the law under the talented preceptorship of his 
father, the late James Alexander Louttit. Upon the completion of his studies he 
was admitted to the bar, in 1903, before the supreme court of California in San 
Francisco, and at once commenced professional work in partnership with his 
father under the firm title of Louttit & Louttit, which connection continued 
until the death of the senior partner three years later. A sketch of the life of 
Jas. A. Louttit will be found on another page in this history. After his 
father's death in 1906, Thomas S. Louttit formed a partnership with De Witt 
Clary under the name of Clary & Louttit, in which he continued until the death 
of Mr. Clary; then, in 1919, he formed a partnership with Gordon A. Stewart, the 
firm name being Louttit & Stewart.
        Mr. Louttit was married in 1898 to Miss Anna Jane Hunter, a native of 
San Joaquin County, and a daughter of H. M. & Anna J. (Ortman) Hunter. Her 
mother came of one of the pioneer families of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Louttit 
are the parents of one son, Thomas Hunter. Fraternally, Mr. Louttit is a member 
of Stockton Parlor, No. 7, N. S. G. W., and San Joaquin Blue Lodge, No. 19, of 
the Masons. He is also a member of the Stockton Elks, No. 218. He was a charter 
member and the first president of the Kiwanis Club of Stockton, and is a member 
of the Stockton Golf and Country Club and the Yosemite Club. He is a director in 
the Morris Plan Bank of Stockton, and a director in the Bank of Manteca. At the 
city election on May 2, 1922, he was elected secretary of the Board of 
Freeholders to frame a new charter for the city of Stockton.
