WENDELL HERTIG - Vol II, pg 135
Since 1895 Wendell Hertig has engaged in the practice of law and has won for
himself an enviable position among the foremost attorneys of Minneapolis and the
state. He was born in Pennsylvania and was graduated from the state Normal
School at California, Washington county, Pennsylvania, at the remarkably early
age of fifteen years. He came to Minneapolis in 1887 and entered the banking
business, in which he remained until January, 1895. He had taken up the study of
law, pursuing a night course, and gave up his bank position in order to enter
the day class at the University of Minnesota and complete his law course,
finishing in June of the year 1895, receiving the LL. B. degree. In the latter
part of the same year he was admitted to practice at the Minnesota bar and he
has since been a prominent member of the legal profession here. Although the
greater part of his time is devoted to his practice he was a member of the
Minneapolis city council from 1905 to 1911 and he has ever been an influential
factor in the development and improvement of the general welfare.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Hertig has been a stanch supporter of the
republican party and the principles for which it stands. Fraternally he is a
thirty-second degree Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks. Socially he is identified with the Minneapolis, Minikahda and
Minneapolis Athletic clubs. During his residence in this city Mr. Hertig has
made many true and stanch friends and Minneapolis is indeed fortunate in having
him for a citizen.
