A History of the Rammelkamp Bradney Law Firm
L. O. Vaught
Most today would label L. O. Vaught as a transactional lawyer. Extremely intelligent with an impeccable sense of ethics and civic responsibility, it was through his ingenuity that Andrew Carnegie gave the City of Jacksonville the funds to build the Jacksonville Public Library. Through L. O.'s legal successes, the firm added its first partners in the late '20s, Edward Cleary and Orville Foreman.
The firm of Vaught, Foreman and Cleary was a law practice of note until World War II broke out and Ed and Orville left for the service. An avid outdoorsman, L. O.'s contributions to the formation of Glacier National Park were so pervasive that a mountain in the park - Mt. Vaught - is named in his honor.
