Eimbeck was born April 4, 1842, in Brunswick, Dukedom of Brunswick, Germany, where his father, the late zoologist, A. F. E. Eimbeck, held the office of Inspector of the Ducal Museums. Our sub- ject emigrated to the United States, located in St. Louis, kept a drug store, was assistant resident physician of the St. Louis City Hospital, physician to the cholera wards of the city hospital in 1866, ward physician, and was a soldier in the late war between the North and South. He located at Holstein, Warren Co., Mo., in September, 1867, and here established a lucrative practice, being well liked, not only as a physician, but also as a citizen. He was elected coroner of that county three terms, 1868, 1870 and 1880. In 1868 he married Miss Annette Juliane Ruge, daughter of the late well-known pioneer, Dr. C. Ruge, of Holstein, Mo., and in this wedlock were born two children, both sons: Oscar, born in 1869 and Arthur, in 1874. Besides other real estate the Doctor owns a large farm about two miles east of New Haven, Mo., on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and on the Missouri River. In July, 1886, he removed to this farm, where he is now en- gaged in the practice of his profession with his usual success. Two older brothers of the Doctor, Fred and Charles, are living near New Haven, at Eimbeck's Landing, Mo., and are engaged in agricultural pursuits; another brother, William, is an astronomer, a member of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey since 1870. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
