Lawyer, then developer; Wildwood Builders' Company
On the record
Lee J. Ninde, younger son of Judge Lindley M. Ninde, was educated at Fort Wayne's public schools, Phillips-Exeter Academy and Harvard (class of 1895). He practiced law in Fort Wayne for twelve years, appearing in much important litigation, then retired from the profession for real estate. In 1910 he organized the Wildwood Builders' Company and became its president, developing one of the city's finest suburban residential districts; a search of the earlier volumes of this history finds him mentioned in that connection but nowhere profiled. He served as president of both the Fort Wayne Real Estate Board and the Indiana Real Estate Association. He married Joel A. Roberts of Mobile, Alabama, on 8 October 1900; she died in Fort Wayne on 7 March 1916.
