Hugh Val Harn (1891-1937)

Hugh Val Harn was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1916. Two years later he enlisted in the U. S, Army and taught marksmanship at Camp Gordon, Georgia. In 1926 he moved to Minneapolis at the behest of Fred G. Smith of Nichols and Smith, a real estate business. He was elected an officer and director of this company and spent all his time on company matters and real estate law until he was felled by ill health. He died on May 15, 1937 at age 46. In memorial services for the Hennepin County Bar Association on February 3, 1938, Lew C. Church spoke of him:

"As a business friend the writer of this paper knew him well during the most of the period of his residence in Minneapolis, and had many business contacts with him; and now looks back upon him as one of his most loyal friends."
