FRANK HENRY HACKING, M. D. - Vol II, pg 442-445
Dr. Frank Henry Hacking has been a resident of Minneapolis since 1914 and his
ability has established his position as one of the leading physicians of the
city. His birth occurred at Listowel. Ontario, Canada, in February, 1872, his
parents being Joseph Henry and Mary (Cormie) Hacking. His paternal grandfather,
William Hacking, was the founder of Listowel, while his father, Joseph H.
Hacking, started the first newspaper in the town. When Dr. Hacking was eleven
years of age his parents removed to Winni­peg, Manitoba, and he received his
education in the public and collegiate departments of the Winnipeg schools.
Having determined upon the practice of medicine as a life work, he next entered
Rush Medical College of Chicago, from which he was graduated with the degree of
M. D. in May, 1899. Six years later, in 1905, he pursued a special course in and
was graduated from the Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat College. He was
instruc­tor in chemistry at Rush Medical College from 1899 until 1901, having
acted as assistant in the chemical laboratory from 1895 until 1899, and served
as assistant surgeon to the Norwegian Deaconess Hospital from August, 1899,
until November, 1900.
Coming to Minnesota, Dr. Hacking entered upon the work of his profession at Wood
Lake in 1900 but in the following year removed to Granite Falls, this state,
where he was associated in practice with Dr. N. H. Sheldrup, under the firm name
of Sheldrup & Hacking, until 1905, in which year the senior partner took up his
abode in Minneapolis. Dr. Hacking continued in practice alone at Granite Falls
until 1914, when he, too, came to Minneapolis and here joined his former
associate, Dr. Sheldrup. While a resident of Granite Falls he was elected county
physician of Yellow Medicine county and in 1912 was made president of the
District Medical Society. Dr. Hacking has been a director of the Hennepin County
Tuberculosis Association since 1915 and had charge of the Thomas Tuberculosis
Hospital for five years before it was taken over by the government. During the
World war Dr. Hacking was a member of the Volunteer Medical Service Corps and
was appointed acting chief of staff of the Minneapolis General Hospital,
tuberculosis department, and placed in charge of Hopewell and Thomas
Tuberculosis Hospitals for the period of the war. He has also been attending
internist of Fairview Hospital since it was opened in 1917. Since February,
1919, he has been attending specialist in charge of the tuberculosis department
of the United States Veterans Bureau. His professional experience has been broad
and varied and his ambition has ever kept him well abreast of the times in the
field of medical and surgical practice.
On the 27th of June, 1900, Dr. Hacking was united in marriage to Miss Anna
Malina Olaison and they have become the parents of four children: Elma Lillian,
a junior at the University of Minnesota; Frances Lee; Kenneth de Tracy; and
Ronald Edgar. Mrs. Hacking is prominent in both church and social affairs of the
city. During the war she was the author of two songs used in the campaign for
the sale of Liberty bonds and gave unsparingly of her time and energy to further
every movement for the cause of the government. The Doctor is a member of the
Baptist church, while his political allegiance is given to the republican party.
His public spirit finds expression in his identification with the Civic &
Commerce Association and he is also a member of the Calhoun Com­mercial Club and
is an officer in a psychological club. Fraternally he is connected with the
Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America and his professional
rela­tions are with the Hennepin County Medical Society, the Minnesota State
Medical Society and the American Medical Association. A gentleman of pleasing
personality and charm of manner, he has become very popular in both professional
and social circles of his adopted city.
