BASIL T. HEATH - Vol III, pg 106, photo pg 107
Basil T. Heath, a descendant of an old and honored Minneapolis family, is a
prominent member of the state bar. A native of Minnesota, his birth occurred, on
the 20th of February, 1893, a son of Frederick W. and Margaret (Schafner) Heath.
His paternal grandfather, Trustum Heath, came from Maine to Minnesota at an
early day, making the trip with a yoke of oxen. He was one of the pioneer
settlers of this state. Both father and mother of Basil T. were born in
Minnesota.
In the acquirement of his academic education Basil T. Heath attended the public
schools of Monticello and in due time was graduated from the local high school.
In early life he decided to enter the legal profession and as a result enrolled
in the Northwestern College of Law, which institution he attended three years.
He then spent one year in a lawyer's office, receiving practical experience, and
completed his law course in the Minnesota College of Law, where he was a student
one year. The LL. B. degree was conferred upon him by that institution in 1919
and in January, 1920, he was admitted to the bar. For a short time he was
identified with the legal department of the State Hardware Association and on
the 1st of September, 1921, he became junior member of the firm of Coan & Heath.
He enjoys an extensive general practice and handles much important litigation
before the courts.
On the 21st of October, 1914, occurred the marriage of Mr. Heath to Miss Mary
Gertrude O'Brien, a native of this city. To their union three children have been
born: John Basil, Mary Ann and Paul Frederick.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Heath has given his political endorsement to
the republican party and the principles for which it stands. Fraternally he is
identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and along strictly
professional lines he holds membership in the Hennepin County Bar Association
and the Alumni Asso­ciation of the Minnesota College of Law.
