Maurice A. Hessian, Sr. (1888-1956).

A few years after graduating the University of Minnesota Law School. Maurice A. Hessian became a partner in a firm that despite many changes in personnel over the next century still bears his name. He died on March 6, 1956, at age 67. At memorial service for the Hennepin County Bar Association on May 5, 1956, John J. McKasy recalled his mentor:
