Martin S. Vilas

Martin S. Vilas (March 1, 1870 – November 19, 1953) was a Vermont lawyer, politician and author who served as President of the Vermont State Senate.

Biography

Martin Samuel Vilas was born in Colchester, Vermont on March 1, 1870.[1] He graduated from the University of Vermont in 1894, studied at Harvard University, and received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Vermont in 1899. Vilas taught school and served as a school principal while studying law, and attained admission to the bar in 1902. He practiced in Burlington until 1912, when he relocated to the west coast, living first in California, and later in Washington. He returned to Vermont in 1915.[2][3]

A Republican, Vilas served in several local offices, including Burlington City Attorney and Chairman of the Burlington Republican Party.[4]

His published works include: Charles Brockden Brown: A Study of Early American Fiction (1904); The Reorganization of the Republican Party, (1915); The Barbary Coast of San Francisco, (1915); Municipal Railway of San Francisco, (1915); and The Veterans of the National Soldiers' Home, (1915).
