Biography: Winnebago County, Wisconsin: Merton STREETER ************************************************************************ Submitted by Kathy Grace, August 2004 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Merton R. Streeter, M.D., a leading physician of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, his native place, was born on February 14, 1866, the second of five children, three of whom survive, born to George B. and Adeline C. (Reynolds) Streeter. He received his preliminary education in the public and high schools of his native city, finishing with the class of 1883, and then attended the Oshkosh Business College. After deciding to enter the medical profession he pursued a course of study at Rush Medical College, Chicago, where he was graduated with the class of 1889. Going to Washington on the Pacific coast, he remained there some six years, but in 1895 returned to Oshkosh, where he has since devoted himself uninterruptedly to the practice of his profession. For three years Dr. Streeter was associated with Dr. Thomas P. Russell, under the firm name of Russell & Streeter, but with that exception has carried on his practice, general in character, in his own name. Dr. Streeter is known for his carefulness and conscientiousnes, and these, combined with his thorough knowledge of medical science and his practical skill, have won for him well-merited and gratifying success. He is a member of the American Medical Association and also belongs to the Fox River Valley Medical Association and is an active member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
