Dr. G. A. Spreckelmeyer, present county coroner, and one of the success-
ful practitioners in the community, is a native of Franklin County, Mo.,
born February 10, 1857.  His parents, Dr. F. and Charlotta (Miller)
Spreckelmeyer, were of German nativity.  The former immigrated to Amer-
ica in 1835, locating at Dundee, Franklin Co., Mo., where he practiced
his profession for a long time, next moving to within three miles of
Berger, his present place of residence.  He was born September 1, 1812
and his wife's birth occurred in 1835; she followed her husband to
America in 1849.  The subject of this sketch was brought up to an agri-
cultural experience until his fifteenth year, then entering upon a
course at Wesleyan College, at Warrenton, Mo., where he remained for
two years.  Following this he was engaged in teaching school two years,
and upon commencing his professional study entered the Missouri Medical
College of St. Louis, in 1876, from which institution he was graduated
after a thorough course, March 5, 1879.  Soon after he chose a location 
at Lange's Store, three miles south of Morrison, where he has continued
to enjoy a lucrative practice until the present time.  His time is also
taken up largely in the work attendant upon the duties of coroner.  Dr.
Spreckelmeyer was married, in 1874, to Mary E. Lange, whose birth occ-
ured at Fort Madison, Iowa, December 8, 1854.  To this union a son and
daughter have been born.
