Born at Chillicothe, Ohio on September 26, 1872, of German parentage, he acquired his early education in the public schools of his town.[1] After graduating from Chillicothe High school in 1891, he moved to Baltimore, the home of his maternal grandmother, to study medicine. In 1894, he received his M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the University of Maryland School of Medicine and did his post-graduate work at Johns Hopkins. He then became an Assistant Resident Physician, (1894–1895); and Resident Physician (1895–1897) to Mercy hospital and demonstrator of bacteriology to Maryland's University.[1] In 1897 he went abroad to study at Pasteur Institute in Paris, and upon his return, he was appointed Physician in Charge of the Pasteur Department of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, then quarantine physician to the port of Baltimore from 1898 to 1900.
