NICOLAY H. SCHELDRUP, M. D.
Dr. Nicolay H. Scheldrup, a Minneapolis surgeon of recognized ability, was born
in Tovik, Norway, on the 1st of September, 1873, his parents being Martin and
Amalia (Wanvig) Scheldrup, who were also natives of the Land of the Midnight
Sun. The father was a wholesale merchant of Norway and engaged in both the
export and import trade.
Dr. Scheldrup, having pursued the usual preliminary. education in Norway, sailed
for the new world in the fall of 1891 to complete his studies. He went to
Chicago, where he entered Rush Medical College, and was there graduated in 1897,
on the completion of the full medical course. Later he opened an office at
Granite Falls, Minnesota, where he entered upon the practice of medicine and for
nine years he successfully conducted a private hospital there. During that time
he also went to Europe and pursued postgraduate work in Paris, France, and
Berlin, Germany. Throughout his connection with the medical profession he has
been a close student of everything that has pertained to professional
advancement, carrying his investi­gations far and wide into the realm of
scientific research and knowledge. In 1906 he came to Minneapolis and entered
into active association with Dr. Frederick A. Dunsmoor, with whom he continued
in practice for eight years. He is now surgeon to the Fairview Hospital and he
practically gives his entire time and attention to surgery, in which connection
he has become most widely and favorably known throughout the Northwest. He
belongs to the Hennepin County Medical Society, the State Medical Society and
the American Medical Association.
Dr. Scheldrup was married to Miss Eva D. Dunsmoor, a niece of Dr. Frederick A.
Dunsmoor, and they have four children: Alfred H., twenty-four years of age, who
was in the officers organization of the University of Minnesota during the World
war; Louise, Robert H., and Eugene, aged, respectively, twenty-one, nineteen and
eighteen years. The family residence is at No. 2600 Newton avenue, South. Dr.
Scheldrup is well known in club circles, having membership in the Interlachen
Country Club, the Automobile Club, the Civic & Commerce Association and Odin
Club. During the World war he served at Camp Grant with the rank of captain,
being on duty at the Base Hospital, and later was transferred to Chicago, where
he was connected with Reconstruction Hospital, No. 32. With his arrival in
America to prepare for a professional career he at once became an interested
observer of American ways and customs and a loyal supporter of American
government. He has always been faithful to the interests of his adopted land and
his entire course reflects creditably and honorably upon the city which he has
chosen as his home. Here the constant development of his powers has brought him
to the front and he stands in the front ranks of the able surgeons of the
Northwest.
