SAMUEL J. LEVY
Samuel J. Levy has been an active representative of the legal profession in
Minneapolis for the past twenty-two years and has been accorded an extensive
clientage in recognition of his pronounced ability and broad legal learning. His
birth occurred in St. Louis, Missouri, on the 18th of August, 1881, his parents
being Isaac A. and Belle Levy, both of whom are deceased.
In the acquirement of an education Samuel J. Levy attended the public schools of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, passing through consecutive grades to the Central high
school of this city, from which he was graduated as a member of the class of
1898. Having determined upon a professional career, he became a night law
student in the University of Minnesota and completed the prescribed course in
1901. Admitted to the bar, he became associated with the law firm of Brown &
Kerr, with which he continued for six years and then joined Charles G. Laybourn,
while subsequently he was in partnership with W. W. Bardwell for six years or
until the latter's appointment to the municipal bench in 1912. Since that time
he has been alone and during the past decade has devoted himself to the general
practice of law, largely handling corporation and mercantile cases and also
insurance litigation. Mr. Levy is financially interested in several mercantile
corporations. During the period of the World war he served for about eight
months as chairman of the Legal Advisory Board in the third district of
Minneapolis.
On the 20th of October, 1914, in St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. Levy was united in
marriage to Miss Edna J. Myers, daughter of M. M. and Henrietta Myers. Mr. and
Mrs. Levy have two sons: James Henry, who is seven and a half years of age; and
Edward Frank, three years old.
Mr. Levy gives his political support to the republican party and is a member of
the Reformed Jewish church, belonging to Temple Israel of Minneapolis. He is a
member of the Men's Club of Temple Israel and also of the Independent Order of
B'nai B'rith and for many years has been identified with the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks. He also belongs to the Civic & Commerce Association of
Minneapolis, the Lincoln Club and the Oak Ridge Country Club. In the city in
which the greater part of his life has been spent the circle of his friends is a
wide and countinually broadening one.
