FREDERICK H. STINCHFIELD
The law has ever attracted to its ranks a class of men gifted with keen
perception and a logical trend of mind, who by nature or training, or both, are
peculiarly fitted to deal with the intricate problems that arise among their
fellowmen. In reviewing the prominent members of the Minneapolis bar mention
should be made of Frederick H. Stinchfield, who has successfully followed his
profession for sixteen years and has ever conformed his practice to the highest
ethical standards. He is a native of the east, his birth having occurred at
Danforth, Maine, on the 8th of May, 1881, and his parents, Amaziah P. and Rose
(Foss) Stinchfield, are also natives of that state. The family is of English
origin and was founded in Massachusetts during an early period in the history of
this country. The father has taken a prominent part in public affairs. In the
acquirement of an education Frederick H. Stinchfield attended the public schools
and afterward became a student at Bates College of Lewiston, Maine, from which
he won the A. B. degree in 1900. He next entered the Harvard Law School, from
which he was graduated in 1905 with the LL. B. degree, and in the following year
he was admitted to the state bar of New York. He began his professional career
in New York city, where he remained for three years, and in 1909 he came to
Minneapolis, being admitted to practice in this state. From 1909 until 1915 he
was connected with the firm of Mercer, Swan & Stinchfield and in the latter year
a change in partnership led to the style of Swan, Stinchfield & Richards, under
which the business was continued until 1918, when the present name of Jamison,
Stinchfield & Mackall was adopted. They have been entrusted with important
litigated interests and the list of their clients is an extensive and
representative one. During the World war Frederick H. Stinchfield acted as a
Four-Minute man, speaking in behalf of the various Liberty Loan campaigns. He
was appointed a major in the judge advocate's department and also served as
government appeal agent for the draft board of Minneapolis. For two years he has
been chairman of the traffic committee of the Civic & Commerce Association and
he is also a member of the Minneapolis Club, the Automobile Club, the Minikahda
Club and the Minneapolis Athletic Club. He is a thirty-second degree Mason and a
member of Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He is identified with the Hennepin
County, Minnesota State and American Bar associations and his high professional
standing is indicated in the fact that in 1921 he was elected vice president of
the first named organization, while he is now filling the office of president.
Mr. Stinchfield ranks with the leading lawyers of the state.
