   MILTON S. ERDMAN physician and surgeon, P.O. 
Richlandtown, is one of the prominent young men of the 
township.  He was born in Steinsburg, this county, in 1858.  
After finishing his common-school education he was a student 
at the Quakertown High school for three years. Leaving that 
institution in 1879, he commenced studying medicine, Dr. 
Weaver, of this town, being his preceptor.  At the 
expiration of eighteen months he entered Bellevue Hospital 
Medical college, of New York city, as a student.  He 
graduated in the spring of 1883.  During the summer of that 
year he practiced with his preceptor and the following 
winter took a post-graduate course.  In 1884 he commenced 
the practice of medicine and surgery at this place.  The 
doctor's parents are Owen and Mary Ann Erdman.  Four 
children were born to this marriage:  Milton S., Sarah C., 
Wilson S. and William S.   The father and mother of our 
subject were born respectively in 1828 and 1833.  It must be 
said for D r. Erdman that with a brave and indomitable 
spirit, combined with industry and economy, he has succeeded 
in making a start in this world.  He enjoys the respect and 
esteem of a large circle of friends and patrons.
