MATTHEW M. JOYCE
Another member of the Minneapolis bar is Matthew M. Joyce, general counsel for
the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad. He was born in Iowa and received his early
education in the public schools of Fort Dodge. Later he enrolled in the
Uni­versity of Michigan, taking a two-year literary course, and he then took up
the study of law, leaving that institution in 1960. He was admitted to the bar
in the same year and began practice in Montana, where he remained from 1900 to
1906. In 1906 he removed to New York city and remained there until 1911, in
association with the late F. Augustus Heinze. In 1911 he returned to Fort Dodge,
Iowa, where he practiced until June, 1917, when he came to Minneapolis as
general attorney for the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad. In 1919 he was
promoted to the position of general solicitor and in June, 1922, he became
general counsel of the road.
