GILBERT SEASHORE, M. D.
In the field of professional service Dr. Gilbert Seashore has made continuous
progress, gleaning from comprehensive study and research and from practical
experi­ence valuable truths in connection with the science of medicine. He is
recognized as one of the leading physicians of Minneapolis and is serving as
coroner of Hennepin county, having been retained in that office for the past
fourteen years. He was born in Boone county, Iowa, July 14, 1874, a son of
Alfred and Sophia Seashore, both of whom were natives of Sweden. In 1864 they
came to the United States, making their way to Boone county, Iowa, where the
father purchased a farm, and he continued to reside on that property until his
death, bringing his land under a high state of cultivation. The mother is living
in Minneapolis.
Reared on a farm, Gilbert Seashore attended the country schools of Boone county,
Iowa, and in 1890 he became a student at Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota,
from which he was graduated in 1896, with the A. B. degree. For the next two
years he devoted his attention to teaching, acting as principal of a school, and
he then entered the medical school of the University cf Iowa at Iowa City, which
he attended for two years, completing his professional training in the State
University of Minnesota, which conferred upon him the M. D. degree in 1902. The
next year was spent as intern at the Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis and he then
opened an office in this city, where he practiced continuously until 1907, when
he went abroad, taking postgraduate work at Vienna, Austria, Berlin, Germany,
and also in Italy, thus having the benefit of instruction under the most noted
physicians and surgeons of Europe. In 1908 he returned to Minneapolis, where he
has since successfully followed his profession, and in addition to caring for a
large private practice he is also serving as coroner of Hennepin county. He has
filled that office continuously since 1908, his long retention therein being
unmistakable proof of the high regard entertained for his ability on the part of
his fellow citizens. He has never considered his professional education as
com­pleted with the termination of his college course but has remained
throughout his life a close and discriminating student of medical science, and
that his knowledge is broad and his judgment sound is evidenced by the excellent
results which follow his minis­trations to the sick.
In 1917 Dr. Seashore was united in marriage to Miss Signa Blomquist of
Minne­apolis, and they have a daughter, Marian. As a member of the Civic &
Commerce Association, Dr. Seashore does all in his power to promote the welfare
and develop­ment of his city and he is also identified with the Odin Club. He is
a thirty-second degree Mason and a member of Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine
and he is also connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, while his
professional rela­tions are with the Hennepin County and Minnesota State Medical
societies and the American Medical Association. He has never been content with
mediocrity and is a man of high purposes and ideals who has utilized every
opportunity to perfect himself in his chosen vocation, and his pronounced
ability and genuine personal worth have won for him the respect and esteem of
his professional colleagues and also of the general public.
