JOHN J. STEINER, M. D.

    Dr. John J. Steiner, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at
Richfield, was born in Germany in 1863, a son of John S. and Magdelena (Frash)
Steiner. The father was also a physician and came to America in 1871, first
settling at Carroll, Iowa, where his son, John J. received his preliminary
education. Later the family removed to South Dakota and in that state the son
obtained his collegiate training. Deciding to follow in his father's
professional footsteps, he next entered the St. Louis Medical College, from
which institution he was graduated with high honors as a member of the class of
1889. He then removed to the Pacific coast, where he began practice at The
Dalles, Oregon, and won substantial success there, a most liberal patronage
being accorded him. In 1892, finding that the lower altitude of the coast was
not agreeing with him, he removed to Marysvale, Utah, where he remained for two
years. He then took up practice at Panguitch and in 1900 he pursued a
post-graduate course in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore,
Maryland, and was there graduated with the class of 1901. In 1903 he accepted
the position of surgeon at the Annie Laurie mines at Kimberly and continued to
act in that capacity until 1907, when he retired from the position to further
pursue his studies in post graduate work in the Jefferson Medical College of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since that time be has practiced his profession at
Richfield, making a specialty of surgery. He is particularly well qualified in
this regard, possessing comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and the component
parts of the human body together with the onslaughts made upon it by disease.
His surgical work has been of the highest possible character and his practice
covers Sevier and adjoining counties. He is also the president and manager of
the Richfield General Hospital, one of the best equipped institutions of this
kind in the state.

    In 1903 Dr. Steiner was married in Marysvale, Utah, to Miss Georgia
Blanchett, of that city, and they now have three children: Dean, Edward and Rose
Gail. Dr. Steiner, while public-spirited to a degree and an active member of the
Commercial Club and similar organizations, has never become a worker in
political circles. He was, however, examining physician of the draft board and
medical member of the Council of Defense during the period of the war. He is an
active member of the State Medical Association and of the American Medical
Association and is esteemed throughout Utah as a talented medical practitioner
and sterling citizen. He has ever held to the highest ethical standards of the
profession and he has continually promoted his knowledge and ability through
study and research.
