Biographical Sketch of Dr. Edmund Nasse, Gasconade County, Missouri >From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888. ********************************************************************** Dr. Edmund Nasse, like others mentioned in the present volume, is also a native born resident of Hermann, his birth having occurred February 11, 1858. He was educated in the common or public schools of that place, supplementing the course there received by attendance at a high school at Warrenton, Mo., where he became still better fitted to pre- pare for the professional life which he had determined to enter. When but seventeen years of age he began reading medicine under the guidance of his father, Dr. August Nasse, and subsequently, in 1878, attended the St. Louis Medical College, from which he graduated in 1881, well fitted to commence at once the active practice of his profession. Re- turning to Hermann he practiced a few months, and next spent a year in the West, finally coming back to this place, where his time has since been devoted to the duties of his adopted calling. As a practitioner he has been successful, as his numerous acquaintances can well testify. In 1882 he also assumed charge of the drug store previously established by his father, and still conducts the same. In September, 1886, Dr. Nasse was married to Marie Thomann, of Chicago, who has borne him one child. The Doctor's parents, August and Matilda (Wuerdemann) Nasse, were both natives of Germany. The father was born in Bielefeld, West- phalia, April 26, 1814 and in 1837 immigrated to America, residing for a short time at Cleveland, Ohio, and later going to Cincinnati, where he completed his medical studies in the Ohio Medical College. Follow- ing this he practiced several years at Augusta, Mo., next located at Ellsworth, Texas Co., Mo., and in 1847 came to Hermann, where he resided and followed his profession until his death, in 1884. He was well and favorably known and generally esteemed, enjoying universal respect. Mrs. Nasse was born in Bremen, in 1816 and died at Hermann, in 1882; she came to America when quite young. ==================================================================== 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.
