LEMONT D. WILLIAMS (Lemont Daniel Williams)
Lemont D. Williams, a successful practicing attorney of Minneapolis, has many
friends in this city, in which his entire life has been spent, and has
demonstrated his ability to cope with the intricate problems of the law. He was
born June 30, 1892, a son of Fred and Anna (Theilen) Williams, of Minneapolis,
and attended the public schools of the city, also becoming a student at De La
Salle College and St. John's University, of which he is an alumnus. He next
became a student at the Minnesota College of Law, from which he was graduated in
April, 1918, and in the same year he was admitted to the state bar. He afterward
spent four years in the offices of George T. Simpson and John F. Dahl, well
known attorneys of this city, and has since conducted his professional interests
independently. He has a thorough knowledge of the funda­mental principles of
jurisprudence and his careful analysis enables him to correctly apply his legal
learning to the points at issue. He is well qualified to handle important
litigated interests and his clientele is a large and growing one. Before
entering upon his professional career he worked in the grocery store conducted
by his father, who is still connected with that line of activity and is numbered
among the pioneer merchants of the city.
Mr. Williams was married August 25, 1914, to Miss Levina Perry, of Minneapolis.
They attend St. Anthony's church and Mr. Williams' public spirit finds
expression in his membership with the Civic & Commerce Association while his
professional connec­tions are with the Hennepin County and Minnesota State Bar
Associations. He is a young man of enterprise and determination and a thorough
and conscientious student, who is making rapid progress in a profession which
calls for a keen intellect and ability of a high order.
