On the list of Minneapolis' professional men appears the name of Dr. Walter J.
Kremer, who is concentrating his attention upon urological work, and his
pronounced ability has won for him a large practice. He was born in Owatonna,
Minnesota, April 25, 1878, a son of Ignatius and Augusta (Erdman) Kremer, both
of whom were natives of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and of German ancestry. The father
came to Minnesota in 1870, casting in his lot with the pioneer residents of
Owatonna, Minnesota, later moving to Cold Spring, and his time and energies were
devoted to railroad work.
In the acquirement of an education Walter J. Kremer attended the public schools
and St. John's University, afterward completing a two years' academic course and
four years' medical course in the University of Minnesota, which in 1911
conferred upon him the M. D. degree. He next spent eighteen months as an interne

city, specializing in urology. He is a member of the staff of St. Mary's
Hospital, an instructor in urology at the University of Minnesota, associate
urologist at the General Hospital of Minneapolis, and attending urologist at the
Park View Hospital He has devoted much study to this branch of medical science,
on which he is regarded as an authority, and has successfully performed many
difficult surgical operations. During the World war he joined the Medical Corps
of the United States army and was assigned to the base hospital at Camp Gordon,
Georgia, being connected with the department of urology and genito-urinary
diseases. He was commissioned a first lieutenant and was stationed at Camp
Gordon until five months after the signing of the armistice, resuming his
practice in Minneapolis after being released from service. He is now consulting
