Wigand, Theodore. Native of Pyrmont, Waldeck, Germany; was born November 26,
1846. After having attended Dr. Damann's cosmopolitan school in Hameln, Hanover,
for two years, he commenced in 1863 the preparatory course of studies at the
Gymnasium of Lemgo, continuing the same afterwards at Corbach, where he passed
the regular examination required by law for admittance to medical courses at a
university, September, 1868. He then studied medicine at the University of
Marburg, Prussia; there passed the first medical examination in 1870, and took
the degree of M. D. October 15, 1873. During the Franco-German war he entered
the Prussian army as volunteer assistant surgeon. After having spent about
twenty months in visits to the universities of Wurzburg, Heidelberg and Berlin,
attending lectures and visiting hospitals, he came to the United States in the
Winter of 1875, landing in San Francisco. He practiced his profession for a
short time in Yreka, Siskiyou county, but soon went back to San Francisco, and
finally settled in Petaluma in May, 1878. Doctor Wigand is married to Sophia,
daughter of the late merchant and mayor of Mengeringhausen, Waldeck, Germany,
Ludwig Schluckebier.
