JOHN FAHRNER, M.D., a rising young physician and surgeon of Joliet, obtained 
his medical education in Chicago, Ill., in the Bennett Medical College, from 
which he was graduated in 1882. Immediately afterward he entered upon the 
practice of his profession in Joliet, where he is rapidly building up an 
extensive business. He obtained like wise-an excellent literary and classical 
education, with the Benedictines of Chicago. He is a member of the Illinois 
Eclectic Medical Society. Close application to his studies while he had the 
opportunity, made him thoroughly acquainted with the duties of his chosen 
calling, while he keeps himself posted upon the methods which are constantly 
being brought to the attention of the profession. Dr. Fahrner was born on the 
other side of the Atlantic, in the town of Marienbad, Austria, February 11, 
1854, and is the son of Dr. Valentine and Mary Ann (Tauber) Fahrner, who were 
of German birth and ancestry. Valentine Fahrner, also a practicing physician 
of good repute, followed his profession in his native land several years, then 
came to America, in 1854, locating first in Chicago. He followed his 
profession there until 1868, then returned to his native land. Finally he came 
back to America and located at Mokena, Ill., where he sojourned two years. In 
1871 he took up his residence in Joliet, and followed his practice in this 
city until his death, July 7, 1879. The wife and mother had preceded her 
husband to the silent land, her death occurring May 28, 1873. They were the 
parents of three children only—our subject and his sister, Mrs. Lehner, of 
this county; Anna died aged twelve years. Dr. Fahrner was married December 28, 
1875, in Joliet, to Miss Magdalena Kachelhoffer. Mrs. Fahrner was born in 
Joliet, and by her union with our subject there have been born seven children, 
viz.: John, Pius, Angela, Walter, Alphonse, Charlotte and Frederick. Their 
home is at No. 609 North Nicholson Street. Dr. Fahrner has his office at No. 
200 North Center Street. Politically, the Doctor is a sterling Democrat, and 
he and his family are members of St. John's Catholic Church.
