EDWIN A. HENDRICKS - Vol II, pg 313
Edwin A. Hendricks, a native son of Minneapolis, is recognized as a ready and
resourceful lawyer and in his practice he has displayed a conscientious zeal and
energy that have carried him steadily forward. He attended the grammar and high
schools of this city and then became a student at the University of Minnesota,
from which he won the LL. B. degree in 1911, on the completion of a course in
law. In the same year he was admitted to the bar but did not at once enter upon
the work of his profession, spending two years in the banking business. In 1913
he began the general practice of law in this city and as he has demonstrated his
ability to handle intricate and involved legal problems his clientele has
steadily increased, his professional services now being in constant demand. He
has always conducted his law business independently and as an attorney he is
sound, clear-minded and well trained. He is felicitous and convincing in
argument, full of the vigor of conviction and never abusive of an adversary.
On the 7th of May, 1918, Mr. Hendricks enlisted for service in the World war and
was assigned to the ordnance department. For a time he was stationed at Camp
Hancock, Georgia, whence he was transferred to the Raritan Arsenal at New
Jersey, and was afterward made ordnance instructor. He was discharged from the
service on the 23d of December, 1918.
Mr. Hendricks was united in marriage to Miss Louise Dedolph and they have many
friends in the city. Mr. Hendricks is of Norwegian descent and possesses
considerable ability as a linguist, conversing fluently in Danish, Swedish and
Norwegian, as well as in English. He is a member of Ark Lodge, No. 176, F. & A.
M. To his chosen life work he gives his undivided attention and in his law
practice whatever he does is for the best interests of his clients and for the
honor of his profession.
