Author: Geo. A. Ogle & Co. (1897)

ADOLPH SLAMAN, M. D., a prominent and well-known physician and surgeon of
Lennox, was born in the state of Moravia, Austria, and when nine years of age
emigrated with his parents to America, locating in St. Paul, Minn., where he
grew to manhood and learned the trade of locksmith. When eighteen years old he
entered the Rush Medica college, of Chicago, from which he graduated with the
class of '82. The Doctor almost immediately after receiving his diploma came to
Lennox, and has continued here ever since, with the exception of one year which
he spent as house physician at the Yankton hospital for the insane. He has built
up a large and lucrative practice which he deservedly merits. He has been a
close student all these years, keeping pace with the rapid strides of medical
science, and is known throughout South Dakota as a skillful and successful
operator in surgery. He is a member of the South Dakota State Medical Society
and has been since its organization; he is also a member of the Iowa, Minnesota
and South Dakota Tri-State Medical association, which was founded in 1896.

    Dr. Slaman has an interesting family history of which the following is a
digest. He was one of a family of ten children, born to Thomas and Annie Slaman,
nine of whom are still living, viz.: Frank, married and a resident of Brainard,
Neb.; Annie, wife of Antoine Bowers, of Milwaukee, Wis.; Aloiz, married and
lives in St. Paul, Minn.; Emily, the wife of Charles Blazener; Frances; in
Wisconsin; Thomas remained in Austria and became a soldier there, being killed
in a military charge while in Turkey; Josie, wife of John Huisick, of St. Paul,
Minn.; Ludwig; Adolph, the subject of this narrative; and Joseph, married and. a
resident of St. Paul, Minn. The father, Thomas Slaman, is still living, aged
ninety-one years, and makes his home in St. Paul; his father, Francis Slama, was
a son of Karel Slama, one of four brothers-French soldiers-who severed their
connection- with France and purchased an estate in Kuklik, in the province of
Moravia, Austria. These men were all long lived, and it is a remarkable fact
that their descendants have all crowded the century mark very close.

   Dr. A. Slaman and Miss Matilda Schultz were married in Lennox in 1886, and to
them have been born two children, viz:: Lamont and Corinne. They occupy a
beautiful home and enjoy all the pleasures of a well-conducted household. The
Doctor is a member of no social orders, neither is he identified with any church
societies. His church is humanity, and where suffering calls he quickly responds.
