The Minnesota Legislative Reference Library

The Minnesota Legislative Reference Library which has just put up a data base of Minnesota Legislators Past & Present. I found in about two minutes that there were more Legislators than I was aware of from Holdingford. The data base is very nicely done. it is cross referenced several different ways making it easy to use.
I had known of Randolph Holding being a representative, confirmed through the help of Senator Fischbach's staff, last year. I was going to request they also check up on Senator Batz, as he was referred to around Holdingford. I wasn't sure what he was senator of.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Holdingford was home to two more House of Representatives !

Valentine Batz- Senate 1899-1906 (District 54)
Counties Served: Stearns
City of Residence (when first elected): Holdingford

Randolph Holding- House 1872 (District 31)

G. Norsving- House 1872-73 (District 17)

Otto Stein- House 1921-24 (District 46)

Much thanks to the hard work of the folks at the Legislative Reference Library .
