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 in La Crosse on October 30, 1890, but when a small lad removed with his parents to Tomah, Wis., 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 interne 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.
