JALMAR HENDRIK SIMONS, M. D.
Dr. Jalmar Hendrik Simons, a prominent member of the medical profession of
Minneapolis, is devoting his attention to surgical cases and is one of the
leading gynecologists of the city. He was born in Waseca, Minnesota, November 7,
1884, a son of Barnt and Emily (Thompson) Simons, the former a native of Norway
and the latter of Wisconsin. In 1857, when but five years of age, the father was
brought to the United States by his parents, who settled in Waseca, Minnesota.
On reaching years of maturity Barnt Simons there engaged in merchandising,
success­fully continuing his operations in that field for a number of years, and
he is now living retired in Minneapolis.
After completing his course in the high school at Waseca, Minnesota, Dr. Simons
became a student at the State University, from which he was graduated in 1908
with the degree of Bachelor of Science, while two years later that institution
conferred upon him the M. D. degree. The following year was spent as interne at
St. Barnabas Hospital and he then opened an office in this city, where he has
since successfully followed his profession. He is concentrating his attention
upon surgical work, in which he has developed expert skill, and has successfully
performed many difficult operations. His practice is a large one and he is also
assistant professor of gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Minnesota,
having specialized in those branches of medical science, concerning which he is
well informed.
On the 27th of April, 1917, Dr. Simons was united in marriage to Miss Rae
Laubach, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and they now have three children: Clarence
Bertram, Marian Elizabeth and Arthur Mansfield.
In matters of citizenship Dr. Simons is loyal and public-spirited, and during
the World war he acted as medical examiner in connection with the aviation
service and was also a member of the Hennepin county medical advisory board. His
professional connections are with the Minnesota Gynecological & Obstetrical
Society, the Hennepin County and Minnesota State Medical Societies, the American
Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons, while he is also a
member of Alpha Kappa Kappa, a medical fraternity. In the field of professional
service he has made continuous progress, gleaning from comprehensive study and
research and from practical experience valuable truths in connection with the
science of medicine and surgery, and he has attained high rank among those whose
skill is uniformly acknowledged.
