RAYMOND H. KENYON
Raymond H. Kenyon, member of the Minneapolis bar, is a native son of this city,
his birth having occurred October 26, 1887, his parents being Albert H. and Mary
Isabelle (Newlon) Kenyon, who are mentioned at length on another page of this
work. They were pioneer settlers of Minneapolis, the father having opened one of
the first stores on the Minneapolis side of the river. He arrived here in 1873
and for many years was connected with commercial pursuits, while later he
confined his attention to his real estate investments.
Raymond H. Kenyon attended the Emerson school and the Central high school, while
later he entered the University of Minnesota as a student in the engineering
department, matriculating in 1907. Later, however, he changed his course of
study, entering the law department, and he also continued his law study at the
night session. of the University of Minnesota, being employed during the day as
a clerk in the Security National Bank. He next entered the law school of
Columbia University of New York and was graduated from the St. Paul College of
Law with the class of 1915. The same year he was admitted to practice at the
Minnesota bar and has since devoted his attention to his profession, in which he
has advanced step by step. He soon gained recognition of his powers and has
progressed through all the intervening until he occupies an enviable position
among the representatives of the legal sion in this city. For several years he
has been associated with Anson B. Jackson in the general practice of law.
On the 26th of June, 1915, Mr. Kenyon was united in marriage to Miss Amy E.
Pearce of Minneapolis. They have one daughter, Margaret. Mr. Kenyon is grand
corresponding secretary of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and is a life member
of the Minneapolis Athletic and the Minneapolis Automobile clubs. He is well
knwn in Masonic circles, having taken the Scottish Rite degrees to and including
the thirty-second, and he is likewise a member of Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic
Shrine. He served on the legal advisory board for Hennepin county during the
World war and along strictly professional lines he is connected with the
Hennepin County, Minnesota State and American Bar associations. He represents
one of the old and honored families of the city and his course has ever been in
harmony with the record that lias made the family name a synonym for progressive
citizenship and individual honor and integrity.
