Adolf E. Hoitomt (1895-1958).

Adolf Eskild Hoitomt, a World War I veteran, graduated the University of Minnesota Law School in 1920. Admitted to the bar that year, he practiced law in Minneapolis until 1931, when he joined the Minnesota Rural Credit Department. It was the beginning of a long and fruitful career in state government. He died on April17, 1958, aged sixty-two. In memorial services for the Hennepin County Bar Association, he was recalled:

"Adolf Hoitomt was not the meteoric type, his name never appeared in the public press, he was not a headline hunter; such would have been repugnant to him and everything for which he stood.... Thousands of nameless and humble citizens throughout the State of Minnesota are indebted to him, as I am told by responsible officials of the State Capitol, for his kindly, patient and generous services freely and cheerfully given."
