Dr. Hugo Arthus Gabert, physician and surgeon, New Orleans, La.  This
prominent physician, whose residence and office is at 241 North Rampart
street, New Orleans, was born in Ryczywol, now Ritschenwalde Provinz,
Posen, Germany, May 5, 1852, to the union of August and Henrietta (Doerr)
Gabert, both parents deceased.  The mother visited the United States and
came to New Orleans in 1874 and 1875.  The father was a prominent business
man and a successful merchant.  He was the father of thirteen children, all
born in Ritschenwalde; five of them are living and are named as follows:
Emma, wife of Gustav Zoeger;  Adolph;  Ottilie, wife of George Huchne, in
Chicago;  Hulda, wife of Max Ule, in Ritschenwalde, and  Dr. H. A., our

country and attended the gymnasium at Rogasen Provinz, Posen, for six years
to Secunda.  In 1869 he sailed for the United States and landed in New York
city. From there he went to Chicago, remained there until 1873, and then
came south to New Orleans, where he began the study of medicine.  He
subsequently entered the University of Louisiana and graduated in 1879,
after which he immediately began practicing.  This he has continued ever
