THOMAS S. INGENHUTT - Vol III, pg 823
Thomas S. Ingenhutt, treasurer of the Clover Leaf Manufacturing Company, is one
of the prominent young business men of Minneapolis. He is a native of
Minne­apolis, and a son of Joseph P. and Mary E. (Keating) Ingenhutt. His father
was a native of Germany, coming to the United States in 1863. Mrs. Ingenhutt was
a native of St. George, New Brunswick, and their marriage took place in
Minneapolis. Joseph P. Ingenhutt was engaged in the conduct of a cement
construction business and he achieved substantial success in that connection. He
was not only prominent in busi­ness circles but was active in political life. He
was alderman from the first ward from 1894 to 1898 and he contributed in a
marked degree to the development and improvement of this city. His demise
occurred in 1905 and his widow survived him for three years. To Mr. and Mrs.
Ingenhutt three sons and one daughter were born, Thomas S. being the youngest
child.
In the acquirement of his early education Thomas S. Ingenhutt attended the
public schools of Minneapolis and after graduating from high school enrolled in
De La Salle Institute, from which institution he was graduated in 1908. He made
his initial step into the business world by accepting a position as clerk in the
First National Bank. He was active in that connection one year, at the
termination of which time he became associated with the Gitchell-Tanton Company,
grain merchants with office in the Chamber of Commerce building. He worked as
clerk for them for some time and subsequently became a salesman on the floor,
acting in the latter capacity for a period covering nine years. He then engaged
in the ice business for a short time and in 1921 became associated with the
Clover Brand Manufacturing Company as treasurer. He is discharging his many
duties with efficiency and he has been a dominant factor in the continued
success of the enterprise.
Upon the entrance of the United States into the World war Thomas S. Ingenhutt
put all personal interests aside and enlisted in the army. He was sent to
Dunwoody Institute, in this city, where in the mechanical department he received
training for three months. He was then selected for further training in the
Officers Training Camp at Camp Fremont, near Palo Alto, California, but the
signing of the armistice prevented him from taking the course. He received his
honorable discharge in Decem­ber, 1918.
Since attaining his majority Thomas S. Ingenhutt has been a stanch supporter of
the democratic party and the principles for which it stands. Although he has
never sought nor desired public preferment he is actively interested in party
affairs and is never too busy to give his aid in the furtherance of any movement
for the benefit of the general welfare. He has no fraternal affiliations but is
associated with the United Commercial Travelers. His hobby is horses and he is
secretary of the Hennepin County Riding & Driving Club.
