Real estate agent, naturopath.
Born at Rapidan, Minnesota on 26 June 1885, son of William T. Just and Dorothy Mann, he attended school in Mankato, Minnesota and also took a course at the business college. He then took a job as a clerk in a general store at Rapidan run by his brother and, a year later, was made a manager of another store at Rapidan where he remained for 18 months. In the Fall of 1906 he came to Winnipeg and, in association with others, bought the Canadian German Realty Company. He became sole owner the next year. In January 1913 he began a realty business under his own name, specializing in subdivisions in Port Arthur, Ontario.
Around 1923, he went to Chicago, Illinois where he trained as a naturopath in electro-therapeutics before returning to Winnipeg.
On 1 February 1926, he married Elizabeth “Bessie” Just (1883-1974) at Winnipeg. They had no children. He was a member of the German Lutheran Church and First English Lutheran Church, and resided at 607 Bannatyne Avenue (c1925).
He died at his Winnipeg residence, Suite 1 Alexandria Apartments, on 11 March 1948 and was buried in the Brookside Cemetery.
