BRAINARD WINSLOW DEARBORN, M. D. - Vol II, pg 361
Dr. Brainard Winslow Dearborn, a man of scientific attainments, who always held
to the highest standards and ideals of the profession, practiced successfully
for many years in Minneapolis and continued an honored representative of his
chosen calling here to the time of his demise. He was born March 3, 1853, in
North Hampton, New Hampshire, a son of David and Sarah B. (Parker) Dearborn. He
was also a direct descendant of General Henry Dearborn of Revolutionary fame and
belonged to one of the oldest New England families. He acquired his early
education in the schools of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and afterward attended
the Phillips Exeter Academy in his native state. His college course was pursued
in Bowdoin College at Brunswick, Maine, where he qualified for the practice of
medicine and surgery, and throughout his life he remained a close student of
medical science. Later he pursued postgraduate work in Vienna, London and Berlin
and afterward opened a private hospital in Nebraska, which he conducted until
impaired health forced him to put aside the arduous labors connected therewith.
On the 26th of February, 1891, Dr. Dearborn was united in marriage to Miss Ida
C. Sjoblom, a daughter of the Rev. P. Sjoblom of Minneapolis. She was born in
Sweden and came to America in 1866, the family home being established in Red
Wing, Minnesota, in 1869, and there Mr. Sjoblom lived for seventeen years. He
was a recognized leader of his denomination in the Northwest and exerted wide
influence for good wherever his pastoral duties called him.
Dr. Dearborn was sixty-four years of age at the time of his demise and his death
terminated a career of great usefulness. He belonged to the Minnesota State
Medical Association and the Hennepin County Medical Society and for ten years he
was a member of the staff of the Swedish Hospital. In addition he enjoyed a
large private practice and his patients had the utmost confidence in his
professional skill and ability. He had, too, the faculty of inspiring hope and
courage in others and this characteristic element was one of the strong forces
in his success.
