Marion Daniel Shutter, D.D., LL.D.; Volume I - Shutter (Historical); volume II - Biographical; volume III - Biographical ======================================================== Vol III, pg 101 ALBERT CONRAD LUNDGREN, M. D. Dr. Albert C. Lundgren, one of Minneapolis' promising young physicians, was born in this city, January 22, 1891. He is the son of Andrew and Anna (Johanason) Lund­gren, and his father came to this country from Stockholm, in 1888. The son received his early education in the Minneapolis public schools, then for eight years after leaving East high school he earned a livelihood by working in the drug business. For five of these years he was associated with Voegeli Brothers. Meanwhile he was preparing for the practice of medicine. He graduated from Marquette University with a B. Sc. degree, in the class of 1911, and received his M. D. degree in 1913. After serving six months as an interne in the Swedish Hospital of Minneapolis, he went to Nelson, Wisconsin, where he gained much practical experience during two years of general practice. Feeling that he was now ready to undertake some specialized study, Dr. Lundgren went to Chicago, where he took graduate courses in the Chicago University, and later went to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota, for work in surgery. In October, 1916, he came to Minneapolis, where he is now enjoy­ing a wide practice, his office being located at No. 2337 Central avenue, Northeast. Recognizing that the successful practitioner must ever be alert to the latest contributions of science, he slips away from his patients every now and then to take a short graduate course in medicine or surgery. He also finds his membership in the Hennepin County Medical Society and the Minnesota State Medical Association helpful in keeping him in touch with professional men and movements. In 1914 Dr. Lundgren was married to Miss Anga Serum, and their only child is a daughter, Olive. Dr. Lundgren is a member of the Lutheran church and a Mason, belonging to the Anchor Lodge, A. F. & A. M.; Anchor Chapter, R. A. M.; Darius Coramandery; and Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He is also affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Odin Club. In political affairs he supports the republican party. For Dr. Lundgren all the joys of the sportsman are to be found in the Minnesota woods and lakes; there he can fish all the long summer days or hunt for deer trails in the crisp, frosty days of autumn, forgetting the anxieties of his strenuous practice in the excitement of the sport. A young man of sound education and proven ability. Dr. Lundgren can look forward to a long, successful career in his chosen profession.
