page 213
this sketch, is of the eighth generation from the founder of the American branch of the Miner family. He was a farmer by occupation, and his financial circumstances were always moderate but comfortable. His family consisted of twelve children, all of whom are living except one, who died in infancy. For the education of his children J. G. Miner provided liberally. His wife's maiden name was Gennett Christiana Allis, whose memory is revered by her children. Julius was born at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, June 8, 1849. He attended the public schools of his native town until his sixteenth year, when he entered the preparatory department of Hillsdale college, at Hillsdale, Michigan. After one year of study here, his father removed with his family to Goodhue County, Minnesota, and bought a half section of wild lands. For the next four years young Julius worked at opening up and improving the farm during the summer months, and in the winter taught in the district schools. In the autumn of 1870 he entered the state university. He was compelled to support himself during his college course by teaching and working at such odd jobs as he could find. For two terms he taught at Long Lake, in Hennepin County, and was principal of the public schools at Le Sueur. Minnesota, for about the same length of time. He graduated from the university in the classical course in June, 1875. For a year after his graduation he taught school at Le Sueur and then entered the law department of Union College, at Albany, New York, graduating in the class of 1877. To maintain himself while there, he secured a position as principal of one of the night schools. Returning to Minnesota, he entered the law offices of John M. Shaw and Albert L. Levi, in Minneapolis, and after studying for nearly two years was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in that city. His work professionally has been largely office work, though he has tried many cases in court. He was one of the attorneys for the defendants in the celebrated King-Remington case: was attorney for the receiver of the Minneapolis Engine and Machine Works, and was assignee of Ezra Farnsworth, Jr. Mr. Miner has always affiliated with the Republican party. In the fall of 1892 he was elected alderman from the Eighth Ward, for a term of our years. Soon after taking his seat he was appointed a member [p.213] of the special committee which investigated the irregularities in the fire department. He was the only Republican alderman who opposed and voted against the purchase of the Brackett property for a city hospital site, and was chairman of the special committee to investigate the expenditure of the proceeds of one hundred thousand dollars of bonds of the city by the Board of Corrections and Charities for the present city hospital. He was successful in opposing the Oswald sewer contract, which would have cost the city thirty thousand dollars, and was strongly opposed, also, to the effort made in the council to award the contract for the Seventh street bridge to the highest bidder. It is due to his efforts that a bridge was constructed over the Hastings & Dakota tracks on Hennepin avenue, one of the most useful improvements made in the city. He served as chairman of the committee on sewers, and as a member of the committees on claims, ordinances and police. It may be said of Mr. Miner that he was one of the most able and conscientious men that ever served in the Minneapolis City Council. He is a Mason and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa. He is a member of the Lyndale Congregational Church and of the Congregational Club of Minnesota. He was married in July, 1877, to Miss Viola Fuller. Mr. Miner died in the spring of 1893. Two children were the result of this union, Robert, aged eleven, and Viola Fuller, aged four.
