EUGENE
J. WISLOCKI, M.D.
EUGENE J. WISLOCKI, M.D. The genealogy of the Wislocki
family, of which Dr. Wislocki of San Jose is a
prominent member, is traced back to the nobility of Poland, and more lately to
a house of Austria, whose coat of arms bears the device “Sas,”
which interpreted means a crown with swords over it. The father of the doctor, Carl Ritter von Wislocki, was born in Austria, where he was the proprietor
of the village of Holuczkow. He died in his native country, survived by
his wife, formerly the representative of an old family of Austria. She now makes her home in Lemberg,
Austria.
Eugene J. Wislocki
was the youngest son in a family of three sons and two daughters, of whom two
sons and one daughter are now living. He
was born in Calicia, Austria, July 7, 1861. He received his preliminary education in the
gymnasium of Lemberg, after which he entered the
Imperial University of Cracow and graduated in 1887 with the degree of
M.D. He then entered the Austrian army
as assistant surgeon, with the rank of first lieutenant, serving in this
capacity for one year, when he entered upon a series of travels throughout
Europe, continuing his post-graduate studies in Germany, Italy and France. He secured the position of assistant surgeon
in a hospital in Lemberg, and was resident physician for
an insane hospital near that city. In
the course of his travels, which were quite extensive, Dr. Wislocki came to the United States, and in 1891 located in
California. In the same year he came to
San Jose and engaged in a general practice of medicine and surgery, since that
time making this city his home and devoting his entire time and attention to
his profession. He has won a wide
patronage among the citizens of this community, who rely upon his judgment, as
he has proven himself to be a physician of splendid ability as well as most
thorough training and experience.
The marriage of Dr. Wislocki occurred in San Jose and united him with Mary
Power, a daughter of a well-known sculptor of the Pacific coast. In his fraternal relations the doctor is
identified with several orders and insurance companies. Politically he is a stanch[sic]
Democrat. Along the lines of his
profession he is an acceptable member of the county and state medical societies.
