Author: Past and Present of Will County, IL; 1907

Although Dr. T. J. Holke is numbered among the more recent acquisitions to the 
medical profession of Peotone, where he is engaged in the general practice of 
medicine, he has already won a large and growing patronage, for he is 
thoroughly conversant with the most modern methods known to the members of his 
profession, and the results which have followed his labors have gained for him 
the trust and confidence of the public at large. Dr. Holke was born in 
Waterloo, Monroe county, Illinois, April 16, 1876, a son of F. W. Holke, a 
minister of the German Evangelical church. He was born in Missouri and is now 
located at Freeport, Illinois. The son received his literary education in the 
public schools of Washington, Missouri, where his father was engaged in 
pastoral work. Having decided upon a professional career for his life work he 
entered Washington University, at St. Louis, Missouri, being graduated from 
the medical department in the class of 1899. He then located for the practice 
of his profession in Freeport, but in February, 1904, came to Peotone, where 
he has built up a large practice, which is constantly increasing in volume and 
importance. He has a well equipped office in the M. Collins Bank building and 
has every modern appliance and accessory for successful practice. In 1902 Dr. 
Holke was happily married to Miss Flora Hermsmeir, of Freeport. His fraternal 
relations are with the Masons and the EInights of Pythias of Peotone. Both he 
and his estimable wife are prominent in the social circles of this city, where 
they have already gained a host of warm friends.
