SETH LUNDQUIST
On the list of Minneapolis' professional men is found the name of Seth
Lundquist. who for the past seventeen years has been identified with the bar of
this city, making steady advancement in a calling which requires a keen
intellect and ability of a high order. He is a native of Sweden and when but two
years of age was brought to the United States by his parents, Carl and Charlotte
E. Lundquist, who became residents of Minneapolis. After completing the work of
the high school he became a student at the University of Minnesota, first taking
a special course in English, and afterward entering the law department of that
institution, from which he was graduated in 1906, receiving the degree of LL.
B., and the next year the degree of Master of Laws. In 1906 he was admitted to
the bar and has since practiced alone, except during the years 1910 and 1911.
While he engages in general practice, he devotes considerable attention to real
estate law and to that branch of jurisprudence pertaining to mechanics' liens,
of which he has a specialized knowledge, and has been very successful in the
conduct of cases of this character, his clientele being an extensive one. He is
well versed in all branches of the law and is recognized as an able advocate and
safe counselor. He has mastered both the English and Swedish languages and his
professional services are in constant demand by those residents of the city who
are of Scandinavian birth, although his practice is not limited to his fellow
countrymen.
Mr. Lundquist married Miss Mabel Esther Vanstrum and they have become the
parents of five children: Doris, Betty, Carl, George and John. He is an
attendant upon the services of the Swedish Mission church and his political
allegiance is given to the democratic party. He has ever taken an active and
helpful interest in public affairs, is a broad-minded man and through wide
reading and study has at all times kept in touch with the trend of the times,
not only in matters relating to America, but to the world's history as well. He
has a high conception of the dignity and re­sponsibility of his profession and
is conceded to be one of the most able and also one of the most highly esteemed
members of the Minneapolis bar.
