his education at the Academy at Elmira, that State, and at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, pursuing his studies three years at the latter place. In
1878 he graduated at the Heinemann Medical Collage at Chicago,
and also at the New York Homeopathic Collage. Then for six years he practiced
his profession on the Sandwich Islands. Returning to the
United States he was married in the
fall of 1844 in Schoharie, New York,
to Miss. Emma Krum, a daughter of Franklin Krum, a prominent banker of that
place. Next he practiced his profession in Kansas City
for a time. In the spring of 1886 he came to Alameda,
since which time he has been a resident and a practitioner here. He is a member
of and Medical Examiner for the Masonic United Endowment Associates, and a
member of several other fraternal orders. He is Professor of Physiology in the

Oakland; and editor of the California Homeopath, the
organ of his school on the Pacific coast.
At
the last general election, held in 1888, Dr. Tisdale was a candidate for the
Assembly on the American ticket, but of course entered the campaign with no
expectation that it would be would be elected. He pulled more votes in his precinct,
however, then his opponents in the principal parties, which shows his local
popularity.
