Loeb (1883–1974) was an American lawyer and public servant. Early lifeJoseph O. Loeb was born in 1883 in Los Angeles, California.[1] He was the grandson of Los Angeles pioneer business and real estate magnate, Harris Newmark, the author of My Sixty Years in Southern California 1853–1913.[2] Joseph's father, Leopold Loeb, took over ownership of the dry goods store Salmon Lazard from his cousin Eugene Meyer when the latter moved to San Francisco.[2] Leopold Loeb renamed the store "The City of Paris,"[2] and he turned it into the first department store in Los Angeles.{{cn|date=December 2017}} Meyer had also been the French Consular Agent in Los Angeles, and he recommended Leopold Loeb to take over the position, which he did.[2] Leopold Loeb served as the French Consular Agent for over fifteen years.[2] Joseph's younger brother Edwin J. Loeb graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1904.[2] Both brothers earned law degrees from the University of California, Berkeley.[1][2] Joseph was the editor of The Daily Californian and Phi Beta Kappa.{{cn|date=December 2017}} Legal PracticeAfter Joseph's graduation he law clerked with the Henry O’Melveny law firm. In 1906, he was admitted to the bar in Los Angeles and retained his association with the O’Melveny firm until 1907. At that time, he joined Edward G. Kuster in the practice of law; and, in 1908, they, along with Edwin, formed the law firm of Kuster, Loeb and Loeb.[1] Edwin and Joseph Loeb read proof for their grandfather, Harris Newmark, at the time of the publication of his book on Southern California. About 1911, Edward Kuster left the law office, and the firm of Loeb and Loeb was established. Over the years, the firm has operated under various names: Lowenthal, Loeb and Walker; Loeb, Walker and Loeb, to the current name, Loeb and Loeb, in 1938.[1] Joseph's contribution to the firm was the handling of corporate business accounts.[2] (Edwin took care of their movie studio clients.)[2] In particular, the firm become notable for representing their cousin Kaspare Cohn's enterprises: Kaspare Cohn Hospital (later Cedars of Lebanon, and now known as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center) and Kaspare Cohn Bank (now Union Bank of California),[2] where he was a director. The Loeb and Loeb firm went from a two-man practice in its beginnings to a large international law firm. Political and Charitable ActivitiesIn 1943, Joseph Loeb was appointed by Governor Earl Warren to serve as a member of the California State Board of Education, in which capacity he served until 1956.[1] From 1947 until 1972, he was a member of the Board of Fellows of Claremont Colleges. His charitable, political, and educational activities were extensive and included: President of Hillcrest Country Club (Los Angeles)[3]: 1933–1937, Board of Directors of Los Angeles County Bar Association: 1915–1922, President of United Jewish Welfare Fund: 1937; and General Campaign Chairman: 1938, Founder, Director and First President of Southern California Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, Director of Jewish Orphans Home of Southern California (now called Vista Del Mar Child Care Service): 1916–1939; from 1920–1926 he was its President, and Board of Governors, Los Angeles Civic Light Opera Association. Personal lifeLoeb married Amy Cordelia Kahn (1885–1967) of San Francisco on January 24, 1909. They were the parents of two daughters: Kathleen (Mrs. Edward J. Bernath), born November 11, 1910; and Margaret (Mrs. Edward J. Soares), born June 10, 1913. Mr. Loeb retired from law practice in June 1965.
