Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and
Hanford Co., 1922. p. 54.

E. S. McCORD is a member of the firm of Kerr, McCord & Ivey, of Seattle, one
of the best know legal combinations in the country.  Mr. McCord is a native of
Kentucky, and was born in 1866.  His educational training was had in private
schools.  From the Washington and Lee University of Virginia, Mr. McCord was
graduated in 1887 with the B. A. degree, and in 1888 took the LL. B. degree.
In 1890 Mr. McCord came to Washington and for a while engaged in the practice
of his profession in Bellingham, and in 1897 located in Seattle.  The firm of
Kerr & McCord was formed in 1891 and in 1921 was changed to Kerr, McCord &
Ivey.  Mr. McCord is thoroughly alive to the spirit and interests of the
northwest and in his career has always manifested the enterprise
characteristic of this section of the country.  In Court he is alert,
progressive and thorough.  I have seen him pitted against some of the best
legal talent in the northwest.  He fought valiantly, neither giving nor asking
quarter, and in the majority of instances won his case.  A man of splendid
legal knowledge, he has made advancement in the practice of his profession
that any man cluld well afford to feel justly proud of.  Mt. McCord, in 1895,
married Miss Elizabeth Bennett, and the couple have three children, all boys.
Mr. McCord is a member of the Rainier club, University club, Seattle Golf and
country club, Chamber of Commerce, and the county, state and national bar
associations.
