EDWARD T. TINKER, D. D. S.
Dr. Edward T. Tinker, who for fifteen years has been engaged in the practice of
the dental profession in Minneapolis, is a native of Iowa. He was born in Clay
county on the 5th of May, 1875, the son of E. J. and Marcia (Hill) Tinker. His
father's family is one of the oldest in the United States, the ancestral record
tracing back an unbroken line of descent to one, Thomas Tinker, who was one of
the earliest colonists of New England.
Edward T. Tinker was educated in the public schools of Dewitt, Iowa,
Northwestern University and the University of Iowa. He began his professional
studies in the dental school of Northwestern University in Chicago and completed
them in his own State University, from which he graduated with the degree of
Doctor of Dental Surgery, as a member of the class of 1898. For the first ten
years after leaving college Dr. Tinker practiced at Wheatland, Iowa. By the end
of that period, however, he was desirous of the larger opportunities afforded by
a city and accordingly moved to Minneapolis in 1908, where he opened an office
for the practice of his profession. He has since risen to the rank of one of the
city's foremost members of the dental profession and has built up a very large
clientele. His offices are now at No. 401 Donaldson building. Dr Tinker is also
widely known throughout the United States and Canada as a lecturer on dentistry.
He belongs to the Minneapolis District Dental Society and is likewise affiliated
with the state and national dental associations, through which he keeps in touch
with the trend of progress in his own profession.
Dr. Tinker was married to Miss Alma Kroger, on the 1st of November, 1899, and
they have one son, Harry A. Tinker. Since coming to this city Dr. Tinker has
joined the Minneapolis, Minneapolis Athletic and Interlachen clubs. Fraternally
he is a member of Joppa Lodge, A. F. & A. M. While not unmindful of the
amenities of life, his chief interest lies in his profession. He enjoys an
enviable reputation among his colleagues and contemporaries because of his close
conformity to the highest standards and ethics of the dental fraternity and also
by reason of his superior skill in his chosen line of work.
