THEODORE M.
GEHRETT, M. D.
In comparison of the relative value to mankind of
the various professions and pursuits, it is widely
recognized that none is so important as the medical
profession. From the cradle to the grave human destiny is
largely in the hands of the physician - not alone on account
of the effect he may have on the physical system, but also
upon the mental or moral development. One of the
ablest representatives of this noble calling in Henry
county, is Doctor Gehrett, who is successfully engaged in
practice in Deshler and vicinity.
Our subject was born in Fairfield County, Ohio,
November 27, 1865, and was brought to Henry county in 1863
by his parents, Henry and Lydia (Valentine) Gehrett.
The mother died in 1864, but the father is still living, and
has been prominently identified with the agricultural
interests of the county since locating here. The
Doctor completed his military education in Hiram
(Ohio) College, graduating from that institution in 1875,
and subsequently he entered the Ohio Medical College at
Cincinnati, where he was granted the degree of M. D. on his
graduation in 1879. In the fall of 1880 he opened an
office in Deshler, where his skill and ability soon gained
for him a large and constantly increasing practice. He
is now the oldest physician in the village, and being one of
the best in the county, he was appointed a member of the
United States examining surgeons for Henry county in 1888 by
Mr. Tanner. In the ranks of the medical fraternity he
has won an enviable place, and is now an honored member of
the Northwestern Ohio Medical Society, the Ohio State
Medical Association, and the American Medical Association.
On March 13, 1879, in Napoleon, Henry county.
Doctor Gehrett was united in marriage with Miss Alice
Thrapp, a daughter of Willliam Thrapp, of that
city, and they have become the parents of two children;
Carol and Madge. The family is one of prominence, its
members being leaders in social circles of the community. |
