WILLIAM C. NAEGELI, D. D. S.
Dr. William C. Naegeli, actively engaged in the practice of dentistry in
Minne­apolis, was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota a son of Frank and Caroline
(Hodell) Naegeli. After his graduation from the high school of his native city
he entered the University of Minnesota and was graduated therefrom in the class
of 1912, with the degree of D. D. S. Following the ccmpletion of his course he
entered upon the practice of his chosen profession in Minneapolis at No. 1600
Western avenue, where he still maintains his offices. During the year 1913 he
did practical work at the University and then became lecturer and operative
member of the faculty, which work he still performs. He is a general
practitioner of dentistry, but he has a strong attachment to students and
student life, so that he continues his reading and investigation, keeping
abreast of the latest Researches and discoveries. He takes up a new study each
year and is thus constantly broadening his mental horizon, so that he is
regarded today as one of the best educated representatives of the dental
profession in this city. He belongs to the North Side Dental Society and is
chairman of its study committee. The central idea of the society is study and he
has served as its president, largely pro­moting the purpose and activities of
the organization. Special papers are read and discussed and practical
demonstrations are made for the benefit of the members. Dr. Naegeli uses
psychology in his professional work and has achieved an enviable reputa­tion for
so young a man. He belongs to the Minneapolis District Dental Society and also
to the State and American Dental associations, and to the Delta Sigma Delta, a
college fraternity. He takes a deep interest in and was notably active in
promoting a movement to build the fraternity house of the Delta Sigma Delta,
which is now an accomplished fact, so that all the graduates may have a
university home. He was secretary and collector of the committee that raised the
funds and he superintended the construction of the fraternity house.
On the 14th of August, 1913, Dr. Naegeli was married to Miss Winnifred Hermann,
and they have two children, Dorothy Helen and Robert William. The entire life
record of Dr. Naegeli is a credit to his native state and to the land of his
ancestors. His father, Frank Naegeli, is a native of Switzerland, but came to
the United States in 1862, making his way direct to Minnesota, since which time
he has resided within her borders, while Dr. Naegeli has spent his life here.
Fraternally he is connected with the Masons and with the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks and his social qualities make for popularity, just as his
professional attainments have brought him into prominence and leadership as a
representative dentist of the state
