      Abraham, Henry W., M.D. 1866 -

      Abraham, Henry W., M.D., president of the Fox River Valley Medical
      Society, and one of the leading members of the Outagamie county medical
      profession, is engaged in a general practice in Appleton with office at No.
      572 Oneida street. Dr. Abraham is a native of Germany, born August 1, 1866, a
      son of William and Hannah Abraham, who came from the Fatherland in 1870 and
      settled in Wausau, Wisconsin. William Abraham, who has been a soldier in the
      German army, was a brickmaker by trade and had a plant in Wausau, where he
      died in 1891, his widow surviving until 1898. They had a family of six
      daughters and three sons, of whom one is deceased. Henry W. Abraham attended
      the public schools of Wausau, and in 1891 graduated from Lawrence College.
      After one year spent in Vienna he began to read medicine and then entered Rush
      Medical College, from which he was graduated in 1898. He immediately came to
      Appleton, where he engaged in a general practice, and here he has continued to
      the present time. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Board of Medical
      Examiners and holds membership in the County, State and National medical
      organizations, is president of the Fox River Valley Medical Society, is
      connected with the Theta Phi college fraternity, and is also a member of the
      Masons. Dr. Abraham is possessed of a kind, sympathetic nature, and the
      natural taste for the various branches of the medical profession that makes
      the ideal physician. He has built up a large and lucrative practice among the
      leading residents of Appleton, and has a host of friends both in and out of
      his profession. Dr. Abraham in politics is an independent voter, recognizing
      no party lines. He and Mrs. Abraham are members of the Congregational Church.
      In 1899 Dr. Abraham was united in marriage with Nellie Bassett, of Berlin,
      Wisconsin, a graduate of Lawrence College, and to this union there has been
      born one daughter, Margaret, aged eight years.
