WILLIAM DREXLER, M. D.

	Dr. William Drexler, engaged in the general practice of medicine 
and also serving as a member of the staff of Mercy Hospital and of the 
County Hospital, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, November 1, 1876. His 
father, Sigmund Drechsler (the original form of spelling the name), was 
a rabbi who was born in Hungary and who passed away ten years ago. He 
married Julia Gries, who survives and is living in Cleveland.

	Dr. Drexler was reared in Cleveland, pursuing his early education 
in the public schools and completing his high school course with the 
class of 1896. He afterward spent one year as a student in the Western 
Reserve College and two years in the Western Reserve Medical College. 
In 1898 he arrived in Denver, where he entered the Denver Medical 
College, formerly the Gross Medical College, and won his M. D. degree 
as a member of the class of 1900. After serving as resident physician 
and superintendent of the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives, 
for a period of one year, ending December 31, 1900, he engaged in 
active and general practice, in which he has since continued and is 
most faithful and conscientious in the performance of all of his 
professional duties. He holds to high standards, and wide reading and 
experience are constantly promoting his knowledge and efficiency. He 
belongs to the American Medical Association, the Colorado State Medical 
Society and the Denver County and City Medical Society.

	In 1908 Dr. Drexler was united in marriage to Miss Millie Levy, 
of Denver, and they have one son, Stanley, six years of age, who is now 
in school. Dr. Drexler belongs to Columbine Lodge, No. 47, A. F. & A. 
M., also to the Royal Arch Chapter and he is a member of Temple 
Emanuel. He leads a most active life and his labors are fraught with 
great good. He holds to high standards of manhood and citizenship and 
he makes his profession the avenue of much valuable service to his 
fellowmen.
