Albert William Ebeling

Albert William Ebeling, B. S., M. D., saw life near Memphis, Mo., in the good old summer time some years ago. He is of Low German extraction, spent his early years on the farm and attended a country school. Later he attended C. W. C. three years, taught school in St. Charles County, Mo. two years, returned to C. W. C. and graduated in 1893. After teaching another year at Black Walnut, Mo., he took up the study of medicine, spent one year at the Marion-Sims Medical College, and two years at the Homeopathic Medical of Missouri in St. Louis, where he graduated in 1897. Since then he has lived at Warrenton, practising medicine and teaching botany, chemistry, physiology and kindred sciences at C. W. C.

He is one of the editors of the Central Wesleyan Star, occasionally gives chapel talks on hygiene, but, in spite of this, no doubt on account of his Democratic proclivities in politics, likes pie, but has never reached the political pie-counter.

This brief biographical sketch of Dr. Ebling was published in 1906 in The Pulse, the yearbook of Central Wesleyan College (the C. W. C. mentioned in the text) at Warrenton, Missouri. The yearbook was compiled and published each year by the senior class of the college and that no doubt accounts for the tone of the sketch.

Dr. Ebeling attended George B. Addicks from 14 January 1910 until the day of his death on 31 January and signed the death certificate on 1 March 1910. George Addicks was the president of Central Wesleyan College and the husband of Mary Wilhelmine Wellemeyer (1862-1936).
