JOHN NATHANIEL OHMAN
John Nathaniel Ohman, attorney at law, who since his admission to the Minnesota
bar in 1909 has engaged in the practice of his profession in Minneapolis, was
born on a country estate at Blackstad, Sweden, on the 30th of July, 1884, a son
of John and Matilda (Lind) Ohman, who were also natives of that country, whence
they came to America in 1889, settling in Glenwood City, Wisconsin, where the
father engaged in farming. He is now a resident of Malta, Montana.
John N. Ohman was but five years of age when he left his native country in the
company of his parents, to become a resident of the new world. He pursued his
early education in the public and high schools of Glenwood City, Wisconsin, and
afterward matriculated in the University of Minnesota for the study of law,
being graduated therefrom in 1909 with the Bachelor of Laws degree. The same
year he was admitted to the bar and opened an office in Minneapolis, where he
has remained, successfully practicing in this city for thirteen years. For a
time he was a partner in the firm of Joss & Ohman, which later became Joss,
Ohman, Fryberger & Parker and which today ranks as one of the leading law firms
in the city. Their practice is extensive and of an important character and Mr.
Ohman, like his partners, is recognized as one of the strong and forceful
members of the Minneapolis bar. He has membership in the Hen-nepin County Bar
Association and he enjoys the respect and confidence of his professional
brethren because of his close conformity to the high standards and ethics of his
chosen calling.
On the 20th of September, 1913, Mr. Ohman was married to Miss Ruth Leavenworth
Edwards of Chicago and they have become parents of two children, John Edward and
Janet Elizabeth. Fraternally Mr. Ohman is connected with the Masons and with the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, loyally following the teachings of these
organizations. He is also a, member of the Odin Club and of the Calhoun
Commercial Club and he manifests a tangible and helpful interest in public
affairs, cooperating in many forces which have contributed to the city's
progress and improvement.
