JOSEPH JOHN GRANBECK - Vol III, pg 475-476
Joseph John Granbeck, who since 1910 has been a practicing attorney of
Min­neapolis, specializing in corporation and real estate law, is widely
recognized as one of the representative and successful members of the profession
in this city. He is a native son of Minneapolis, his birth having occurred on
the 21st of September, 1886, his parents being Gustave and Josephine Granbeck.
His early education, obtained in the grade schools of St. Paul, was supplemented
by a course of study in the St. Paul Central high school, from which he was
graduated in 1907, while his
professional training was received in the law department of the University of
Min­nesota. Prior to the completion of his law course he was engaged in the fire
insurance business in St. Paul, as a representative of the St. Paul Fire &
Marine Insurance Company. It was in 1910 that the University of Minnesota
conferred upon him the degree of LL. B. and since that time he has devoted his
attention to law practice in Minneapolis, maintaining offices in the Security
building. He makes a specialty of corporation and real estate law and has been
accorded a steadily in­creasing clientage as he has demonstrated his power and
ability in coping with the intricate problems of the profession.
On the 15th of September, 1914, in St. Paul, Minnesota, Mr. Granbeck was united
in marriage to Miss Hazel Caroline Aagaard, daughter of Walter and Louisa W.
Aagaard of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Granbeck have two sons, John Wagner and
Robert Aagaard, who are seven and four years of age, respectively.
Mr. Granbeck has always given his political allegiance to the republican party
and is an interested and active member of the Civic & Commerce Association. His
religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Plymouth Congregational
church, while fraternally he is identified with Minneapolis Lodge, No. 44,
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and also belongs to Zeta Psi. Upright and
honorable in every relation of life, he enjoys the confidence and esteem of all
who know him and as a lawyer he is held in high regard among his professional
colleagues and contemporaries.
