Marion Daniel Shutter, D.D., LL.D.; Volume I - Shutter (Historical); volume II - Biographical; volume III - Biographical EMIL T. HAUGLAND (Emil Tobias Haugland) - Vol II, pg 731-732 Emil T. Haugland, a member of the Minneapolis bar and a veteran of the World war, was born in Iowa, June 13, 1887, his parents being Rasmus O. and Sarah (Sunderland) Haugland. The father came to America from Norway, in 1845, and established his home in Iowa as one of its pioneer settlers. He still lives in that state and has reached the venerable age of ninety years. Emil T. Haugland was reared on a farm with the usual experiences of the farm bred boy who divides his time between the duties of the schoolroom, the pleasures of the playground and the work of the fields. His early educational training was received in the rural schools and later at Waldorf College at Forest City. He also attended St. Olaf College at Northfield, Minnesota, where he pursued his literary course. He next matriculated in the St. Paul College of Law at St. Paul, Minnesota, and on the comple­tion of his law course was granted his professional degree as a member of the class of 1916. The same year he was admitted to the bar and through the intervening period he has practiced alone, making steady progress as a capable attorney, save for the period of his service in the World war. On the 30th of April, 1918, Mr. Haugland enlisted as a private, becoming a member of Company C, Fifty-fourth Regiment of the Sixth Division. He served in France and participated in the Alsace-Lorraine, the Meuse and the Argonne offensives, thus taking part in three major offensives. He was made a corporal and was honorably discharged April 23, 1919. Mr. Haugland is recognized as one of the strong and forceful young lawyers of Minneapolis, practicing both as counsel and as advocate. He prepares his cases with great thoroughness and care and his presentation is always clear and logical, so that he wins many favorable verdicts, his entire professional career being notably success­ful. He belongs to the Delta Theta Phi, a legal fraternity of the St. Paul College of Law. He also has membership with the Sons of Norway, with the Odin Club and with the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Professionally he is a member of the Minnesota State Bar and the Bench and Bar of Minneapolis. Duty and service have ever been upper­most in his career and he is of that high type of American citizen that does not hesi­tate to sacrifice personal interest to the public good.
