BAYER - Vol III, pg 807 Anthony M. Bayer, a native son of Minneapolis, is recognized as one of the talented attorneys of the city and has been particularly successful in the field of corporation law, while he is also at the head of important business interests. He was born in this city, June 10, 1876, and his parents were Andrew and Ann (Berndgen) Bayer. Andrew Bayer was a well known hotel man of Minneapolis, devoting his life to that business. He had long survived the mother, who passed away in 1882, at the age of thirty-nine. In the acquirement of an education A. M. Bayer attended the public schools of Minneapolis and after completing the curriculum of the South h'igh school he en­tered the University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1898, having taken the full course in law. He then entered the law office of John Day Smith, with whom he was associated for three years, and afterward practiced law independently in Min­neapolis until 1906. He then practiced for two years in Duluth, then returning to Minneapolis, where he has practiced since and his legal acumen has won for him a liberal clientele. Mr. Bayer has been equally successful as a business man and is presi­dent of and attorney for Bols, Incorporated, which maintains offices in the Plymouth building and is capitalized at one hundred thousand dollars. In Duluth, Minnesota, in November, 1906, Mr. Bayer was married to Miss Agnes Bousquet, a daughter of Emanuel Bousquet, a successful merchant of this state, who has retired from business affairs and has now reached the age of seventy-three. Mr. and Mrs. Bayer reside in an attractive home, of which he is the owner, and five children have been born to them: Lucile, Margaret, Anthony Bell, Betty and June, aged, re­spectively, sixteen, thirteen, eleven, nine and seven years. Mr. Bayer is a stanch democrat in his political views and in religious faith he is a Congregationalist. His fraternal relations are with the Masons and the Elks and for recreation he turns to golf. A man of steadfast purpose and sterling integrity he has dignified the profession of his choice, and years of experience, constant readin7 and natural inclination have brought him to the fore in legal circles of Minneapolis.
