Viewing John Nathaniel Ohman (1884-1937).


John Nathaniel Ohman (1884-1937).

John Nathaniel Ohman, born in Sweden in 1884, immigrated to America several years later, and was raised and educated in Glenwood City, Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1909 and was admitted to the Minnesota bar that year. He thereupon began practicing with Louis H. Joss and, over time, associated with other lawyers in partnerships that always bore his name. He died on June 8, 1937, at age fifty-two. In a memorial for the Hennepin County Bar Association the following year, William B. Henderson recalled his friend:

"I knew him well. It was a privilege to have been his friend. John was a good lawyer and a good citizen. He was a hard-working, careful, conscientious practitioner. He was not brilliant or imaginative, and he sought no northwest passage to success. He counseled with his clients, prepared his cases, and won such success as he achieved by hard, dogged, persistent work."
