FREDERICK R. NITZSCHE, M.D., a well-known physician and surgeon of Dubuque, is a native of Germany. He was born in Saxony on the 2d of July, 1829, and is a son of Frederick Nitzsche, who was also born in Saxony and there spent his entire life, us did his wife, who bore the maiden name of Laura Lau.

In presenting to our readers the life record of Dr. Nitzsche, we give them the history of one who is not only prominent in his profession, but is recognized as one of the valued citizens of the county. He spent his boyhood days in his parents' home, no event of special importance occurring during his youth. The common schools afforded him his early educational privileges, and later he entered the gymnasium of Meissen, Germany, where he pursued his studies until eighteen years of age. The medical profession had for him attractions, and with the desire to make its practice his life work, he entered the Medical College of Dresden, where he earnestly applied himself to gaining a thorough knowledge of the science of healing. He faithfully pursued his studies for four years, and was then graduated in 1861, after which he embarked in practice in Saxony, conducting a successful business for six years.

With the desire to seek a home and fortune beyond the Atlantic, Dr. Nitzsche sailed for America in 1867. When the wide expanse of the waters bad been covered by the vessel in which he embarked, anchor was dropped in the harbor of New York, and he landed on American soil. For two years he remained in New York City, and thence removed to Carlstadt, N. J., where he spent one year. In May 1870, he came to the west, taking up his residence in Dubuque, where he was soon well established in his profession, winning a large and lucrative practice as the result of his skill and ability.

In 1872 the Doctor was united in marriage with Miss Mina Merkel, and resides at No. 1077 Clay Street. In 1876 he took a course of lectures at Rush Medical College, of Chicago, and obtained a diploma from that institution. He is a member of the Dubuque Medical Society, and also belongs to the Julian Medical Society. While in school he was noted for earnest application to his studies, for thorough work and undivided attention, and these qualities have followed him through life, proving important factors in the success which has attended his efforts. In public affairs he takes an active and commendable interest, doing all in his power to aid in the growth, development and progress of the city with which he is now identified. He is held in high esteem, and his friends throughout the community are many.
