Immediately upon his admission to the Bar, he en-

tered the office of his uncle, John E. Sater, with whom

he was associated in the practice until 1907 when the

former was appointed by President Roosevelt as Judge

of the United States District Court for the Southern

District of Ohio, since which time, he has been a mem-

ber of the firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease.

Notwithstanding the duties and demands of his pro-

fession Mr. Sater has throughout the years evidenced a

keen interest in all civic and community affairs. He has

retained, perhaps, as fully as it is possible to do so, the

enthusiasm and loyalty of his undergraduate days for

his Alma Mater and its associations and activities. He

is a member of the Athletic, University, Faculty and

Kit-Kat Clubs and of the Masonic and Odd Fellows or-

ganizations. He is also a member of the Franklin

County, Ohio State and American Bar Associations.

He has a wide acquaintance with general literature

and is particularly interested in history and biography

and the study of contemporary politics. He has pub-

lished booklets on The Whig Party, Grover Cleveland,

and James E. Campbell.

He was married in 1903 to Miss Katherine Morhart

of Middleport, Ohio, and lives at 1654 East Broad

Street, Columbus, Ohio. His son Richard is engaged

with him in the practice of his profession and his two

daughters, Miss Mary Katharine and Miss Martha E.

Sater, are in college.
