GEORGE V. DOERR - Vol III, pg 317
George V. Doerr, vice president of the Minneapolis Drug Company, is a member of
one of this city's old and honored families. A native of Minneapolis, his birth
occurred on the 27th of April, 1884, a son of Henry and Sarah L. (Scharpf)
Doerr. For many years his father has been connected in a leading and serviceable
way with a number of industrial, mercantile and financial enterprises and no man
stands higher in public regard than Mr. Doerr and none is more worthy of high
standing and general approval. Extended mention of Henry Doerr may be found on
another page of this work.
In the acquirement of his education George V. Doerr attended the common schools
of Minneapolis and in due time was graduated from the Central high school. Upon
putting his textbooks aside he entered the Minneapolis Drug Company, of which
his father is president. He later became secretary of the company and in 1919
was elected vice president. The Minneapolis Drug Company is one of the
representative business interests of the city and George V. Doerr has been a
prime factor in its continued and increasing success. He is one of the most
prominent young business men of the city and his fellow citizens look upon him
as one of their most useful, creditable and representative citizens.
On the 17th of April, 1909, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Doerr to Miss
Eleanor Davidson, and to their union four children have been born: Charles,
Caroline, George V., Jr., and Chloe. Mrs. Doerr is a woman of culture and
refinement and she is socially prominent.
Politically Mr. Doerr is a stanch supporter of the republican party and although
he has never sought nor desired public office he is active in party affairs, his
influence ever being on the side of advancement and improvement. Fraternally he
is a Master Mason and socially he is identified with the Minneapolis, Minikahda
and Lafayette clubs.
