Viewing Anthony E. Harroun (1890-1956).

Anthony E. Harroun (1890-1956).

During his thirty-seven years practicing law in Minneapolis, Anthony Harroun represented many plumbers and, as a consequence, developed a specialty in mechanics lien law. He died on October 14, 1956, at age sixty-six. Sometime later, his son delivered a memorial for him as part of the annual memorial ceremony of the Hennepin County Bar Association. He concluded his eulogy with an observation that could be written about most lawyers:

"He tried few cases, he held no offices and he wrote no books, and yet I feel that in many ways he represented the very essence of the Bar. For in his years as a lawyer he dedicated his talents to achieving for his client the full measure of the laws protection and relief. In doing this I believe that he did as much as any man can toward preserving and fostering the system of law and justice to which he devoted his life."
