Louis J. Dolle, a leader in the promulgation of corporation and commercial
law at Cincinnati, and a citizen of public spirit, worth and high standing in
his community, was born at Cincinnati, January 15, 1862, a son of Philip and
Philomena (DeBolt) Dolle. The latter was born in Cincinnati, a daughter of Mrs.
Elizabeth DeBolt, who was one of the earliest settlers of the community, having
taken up her residence here in 1819, when it was still a struggling village.
Philip Dolle was born in Alsace-Lorraine, and came to America in 1849, settling
in Hamilton county, Ohio. A man of good education, he graduated from the famous
Farmers' College, College Hill, Ohio, following which he engaged in teaching
school. While thus employed, he studied law and, in 1862, was admitted to the
bar, following which he pursued the practice of his calling until his death,
June 3, 1884. He was an honor to his profession, his strict integrity and sound
ability commending his to the favor of all, while his good citizenship and
personal loyalty to friendships won and held for him general confidence. After
attending the public schools, Louis J. Dolle was admitted to St. Xavier College,
where he pursued a course, then taking up the study of his chosen profession at
the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was graduated at the age of twenty
years. As he was too young to be admitted to the bar, he waited until his
twenty-first birthday, three days after which, January 18, 1883, he was admitted
to practice in the state courts of Ohio, and entered enthusiastically upon his
professional activities. Mr. Dolle began his life work in the office of his
father, under whose preceptorship he made rapid progress, and, at the elder
man's demise, succeeded to the large and important corporation and commercial
practice. Mr. Dolle has gained an established reputation as one of the most
reliable and forceful attorneys practicing at the Cincinnati bar, and his
connections with large industries and leading individuals are numerous. For many
years he was assisted in his professional business by Walter C. Taylor and James
B. O'Donnell, and, in 1911, in recognition of their splendid and faithful
services, admitted them to partnership, at that time adopting the style of the
firm, Dolle, Taylor & O'Donnell, to which subsequently were admitted Alfred
Geisler and John D. Ellis, the firm name now being Dolle, Taylor, O'Donnell &
Geisler. Mr. Dolle was married April 26, 1900, at Cincinnati, to Augusta,
daughter of William Lodge, senior member of the Lodge & Shipley Machine Tool
Company. To this union there have been born four children: William Lodge, Mary
Louise, Elizabeth Lodge and Louis J., Jr. Mr. Dolle is a Democrat.
