M. S. EKEMEYER.
The humanizing influence of Christianity is shown in thousands
of directions, but in none to a more marked degree than in that
of medical and surgical science. Auglaize County, Ohio,
has many accomplished physicians, and among these is Dr. M.
S. Ekermeyer who is engaged in the practice of his chosen
profession and devotes his entire attention to healing the sick
and afflicted.
Our subject was born at Zanesville, Ohio, on the 4th of
September, 1860, and five years later moved with his parents to
New Bremen, where he attended school until 1871, and thus laid
the foundation for his subsequent prosperous career. He
then went to Cincinnati, entered the public schools there and
spent four years in close application to his books. After
this, for three years he served an apprenticeship in a drugstore
and in the fall of 1878 he entered upon a three-years course in
the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, graduating at that
well-known institution in the spring of 1881.
From there Mr. Ekermeyer came to New Bremen,
practiced a few months, and in the fall of 1881 went to
Cincinnati, where he practiced medicine in partnership with his
father, who is also a prominent physician. He arrived in
the Queen City just in time to take an active part in subduing
one of the worst epidemics of smallpox that city had ever known.
He met with wonderful success in his treatment of this fell
disease and was also very successful in his cases of diphtheria,
which was largely prevalent at that time.
In 1883, Dr. Ekermeyer returned to New Bremen,
engaged in the practice of his profession, and his efforts as a
practitioner of the healing art are meeting with excellent
success. He is now engaged in a large and lucrative
practice and is one of the foremost physicians of the county.
In 1855, he was united in marriage to Miss Martha Schmidt,
of New Bremen, daughter of Henry Schmidt, who was
formerly one of the well-known merchants of New Bremen, where he
died in 1877. One child, Esther, has been born to
Dr. and Mrs. Ekermeyer.
Although a stanch Republican in his political views,
Dr. Ekermeyer does not aspire to any political position and
does not take a very active interest in political affairs, but
is thoroughly posted on all subjects of moment. Socially,
he is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, and is very prominent in social circles,
being at present District Deputy Grand Master in the former
organization. He is a member of the Ohio State Medical
Society and is a popular, wide-awake, thoroughly-posted young
physician. Mr. and Mrs. Ekermeyerare progressive
and active workers of the St. Peter's Lutheran Church.
