Old Leaflet Recalls Early
History of Medical Society

A tattered leaflet found among long for
gotten papers by an old resident tells
story In bluff routine verbiage Of the first
annual meeting OF the Nebraska state
Medical society, held at l;ebraska City
June / and q 1859. One man now living in
Omaha was present at that meeting Of the
early-day doctors forty-one years ago, Dr.
Fred Renner, who has long since retired
from active practice. Two physicians OF
those practicing medicine In the city then
yet remain. They are DR.. Richard c. Moore
and DIT. George Tilden.
DIT. Tilden was elected to membership at
that first meeting in Nebraska City. al
though he was not present.
They are all gone now" unused the aged
physician as he glanced over the yellowed
and time-stained record of the meeting 50
long ago.
There is not now one physician living stiil
In the active practice OF medicine Who was
here prior even 20 so late a date as 1872.
with the exception OF Dr. Moore and my
self In the time that we have been here
a whole colony OF physicians have come
and gone again. Most OF the physicians OF
today are comparatively young men. There
are not many OF the old school left any
where now.

held IN Nebraska City were s. ID. Mercer
