FREDERICK BUTTERFIELD CHUTE - Vol III, pg 224-225
Frederick Butterfield Chute, vice president of the Chute Realty Company and a
native son of Minneapolis, was born December 21, 1872, a son of Dr. Samuel Hewes
and Helen E. A. (Day) Chute, who are mentioned at length on another page of this
work. Under private tutorship and in private schools Frederick B. Chute pursued
his early education and afterward attended the Notre Dame University of Indiana,
from which he was graduated in 1892, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He
later spent a year in study in the law department of the Notre Dame University
and then returned to Minneapolis, where he became a law student in the
University of Minnesota, completing his postgraduate work in 1896 and receiving
the LL. M. degree. He had already begun to practice prior to that date but more
and more his attention was absorbed by the real estate business of the Chute
Realty Company, of which he and his brother, Louis P. Chute, were incorporators.
The business had been established many years before by his father and uncle,
being carried on originally under the firm style of Chute Brothers. Since the
incorporation Frederick B. Chute has given his attention mainly to his activity
in the real estate field and this firm has promoted some of the largest
transactions in realty in the city.
On the 26th of May, 1909, F. B. Chute was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth
McKennan Hawley, who was born in Red Wing, Minnesota, a daughter of Dr.
Augustine B. Hawley of that city, and they have two children: Margaret M. and
Frederick H. Mr. Chute is a Catholic in religious faith and has membership with
the Knights of Columbus. He was at one time a member of the Minnesota National
Guard and served with the rank of first lieutenant in one of the Minneapolis
com­panies for two years. He was also a member of the school board for five
years and was active in promoting some of the most desirable and highly
commendable im­provements in the school system. He was likewise helpful in
promoting war activities during the period of world-wide conflict. His
patriotism has always been an outstanding feature in his career and in this he
follows in the footsteps of his ancestors who fought for American independence,
so that Mr. Chute is now a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He
also belongs to the St. Anthony Commercial Club and is a member of the
Minneapolis, Minikahda and Athletic clubs. He represents one of the oldest, best
known and most prominent families in Minneapolis and throughout his life has
here resided, being closely asso­ciated with the development and upbuilding of
the city and in hearty sympathy with all organized efforts for promoting her
growth and progress.
