THEODORE HAMMERMEISTER, M. D.

    One of the most promising of the younger physicians of Brown county is
Theodore Hammermeister, of New Ulm. He was born on July 25, 1887, in Morgan,
Eden township, Brown county, and is a son of Carl and Emily (Strey)
Hammermeister, both natives of Hinterpomieren, Germany, from which country they
came to the United States when young in years and were married in Minnesota. The
father was a blacksmith by trade, which he had learned as a boy in his native
land, but after coming to America he followed farming. He is now living retired
in New Ulm. He has five children, all living in Brown county but one, the doctor
having been next to the youngest in order of birth.

    The subject of this sketch received his early education in the public
schools of the country, near his home in Brown county, then entered the high
school at Sleepy Eye, from which he was graduated with the class of 1908. In the
autumn of that year he entered the University of Minnesota, preparatory to
taking the medical course in that institution, where he received the degree of
Bachelor of Science in 1912. He was graduated with the class of 1914 with the
degree of Doctor of Medicine, soon after which he took up hospital work at the
Northwestern Hospital of Minneapolis, where he worked a little over four months,
then took up a similar line of work at the University hospital. On June 15,
1915, he returned to New Ulm, where he has since been engaged in the practice of
his profession in partnership with Doctor Strickler. While in the university he
specialized in surgery and the eye, ear, nose and throat, also immunity and
laboratory work. All this required special attention aside from his regular
medical course, but he believed they would be valuable assets in his future
practice and of great benefit to his patients, hence redoubled his efforts and
made a good record in each department.

     On June 8, 1915, he was married in Minneapolis, to Isabelle M. Dunn who was
born on June 29, 1886, in Waseca, Minnesota. She is a daughter of James M. and
Matilda (Turnecliff) Dunn, natives of Scotland and the United States, respectively.

     The doctor and wife are members of the Lutheran church. He is a young man
of pleasing address, has laid an excellent foundation in his chosen profession,
is honorable and energetic and held in high esteem by all.
