ADOLPH HIRSCHFIELD, M. D. - Vol III, pg 522-525
A representative member of the medical profession in Minneapolis is Dr. Adolph
Hirschfield, who has practiced here since 1893. He was born in Lithuania, on the
16th of January, 1864, a son of Samuel and Bella (Greenberg) Hirschfield. His
father died in 1917, at the age of eighty-seven years, while his mother's death
occurred in 1915, in her eighty-fifth year. The Greenbergs were truck gardeners
in the old country.
Adolph Hirschfield received a splendid education. He first attended the
classical gymnasium at Kovno, Lithuania, then the secondary "high school." He
left school in 1882 and in that year went to London, where he was engaged with
the Russian consul in official business for some three months. At the
termination of that time he went to Paris, France, for four months and
subsequently returned to Londo'n as correspondent for a monthly Russian
magazine, and was active in that connection three months. In June, 1883, he came
to America for the purpose of becoming proficient in the English language and
the following year he returned to Russia, to serve his country in the army. He
remained in Russia until 1886, when he returned to the United States and was
engaged in various pursuits until 1890, when he entered the Minnesota
Uni­versity, in the medical department. He was graduated in 1893 and immediately
came to Minneapolis, where he has since practiced. Dr. Hirschfield is held in
high confi­dence and esteem by his professional brethren. During the years of
his residence in this city he has built up an extensive and lucrative patronage
and is readily conceded to be one of the foremost physicians and surgeons in the
city, county and state.
On the 10th of October, 1893, in Minneapolis, was celebrated the marriage of Dr.
Hirschfield to Miss Rose Noodelman, whose demise occurred in 1906. To their
union the following children were born: Leo M., twenty-seven years of age; Harry
H , aged twenty-two; and Etta C., twenty years of age. On the 10th of June,
1907, Dr. Hirschfield was married the second time, Miss Gertrude A. Yuly
becoming his wife. She is a descendant of an old and honored American family and
her father was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. To the second union
one child has been born: Esmond A., thirteen years of age.
Politically Dr. Hirschfield follows an independent course, giving his support to
the man he thinks best fitted for the office without regard for party
principles. Fraternally he is identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks and he holds membership in B'nai B'rith. Dr. Hirschfield is essentially a
public-spirited citizen and his public spirit is a stimulus and inspiration; his
patriotism, locally and generally, is genuine, practical and intense; and he is
liberal to all worthy agencies at work for the good of his community. For two
years Dr. Hirschfield was a member of the Board of Charities and Corrections,
his appointment being on July 1, 1917, and he served until July 1, 1919. During
this time Dr. Hirschfield was chairman of the Hospital committee.
