ARTHUR C. BOEHMER, M. D.
A thorough understanding of the
theory and practice of medicine and surgery has brought Dr. Arthur C. Boehmer most gratifying success and the citizens of Lodi
have shown their appreciation of his five years of work among them, for he
occupies a high position in the esteem and confidence of the people of the city
and environs. A native of Wisconsin, he
was born at La Crosse on October 30, 1890, but when a small lad removed with
his parents to Tomah, Wisconsin, where he was reared and attended the public
schools. He entered the University of
Illinois and was graduated with the class of 1913 with the degree of M. D., and
was the youngest student to graduate from that institution up to that
date. He was popular in the Greek
fraternity, Phi Rho Sigma, and was interested in all college activities. After his graduation he became an intern in
the West Side Hospital in Chicago where he remained for two years, gaining
knowledge and experience; he then became the house physician of this hospital,
remaining in that position for one year; he then became associated with the
famous surgeon, Arthur Nathan Claggett, and the year’s
close association with this noted surgeon gave him an experience that could not
have been acquired otherwise. He then
became professor in the Chicago College of Medicine and also in the Illinois
Post Graduate School where he remained until his removal to Lodi in 1917, where
he has been successfully practicing his profession. He has been very active in the affairs of the
County and State Medical societies and through his efforts and influence has
aided materially in making the city and county a more desirable place in which
to live.
The marriage of Dr. Boehmer united him with Miss Florence L. Schubert, a native
of Illinois. In his fraternal
affiliations, Dr. Boehmer is a member of Lodi Lodge
No. 256, F. & A. M., and of the Royal Arch and Council of Stockton, and the
Ben Ali Temple of Sacramento. At the
present time he is the examining physician of the Eagles lodge of Lodi. In local affairs he is a member of the Lodi
Business Men’s Association and the Mokelumne Club. He has always been most actively interested
in everything pertaining to the progress both of Lodi and San Joaquin County
and maintains a most progressive stand on all questions relative to the
prosperity and development of his particular locality. He has recently erected one of the most artistic
and attractive residences in Lodi where he and his esteemed wife entertain
their many friends and acquaintances.
