Dr. G. H. Mammen

Dr. G. H. Mammen, 86, of 3010 Diversey Ave., died August 31, 1958 in Lutheran Deaconess hospital in Chicago where he was a member of the surgical staff.

A graduate of Rush Medical college in 1894, Dr. Mammen had practiced in Chicago since 1919. Before going to Chicago he practiced in LeMars, his home town for 25 years. He was a member of the 60 year club, an organization of physicians practicing 60 years or more. Funeral services were held last Tuesday in Chicago.

Friends say that Dr. Mammen, while in LeMars has preformed more successful appendix and other operations than any other doctor.

In his earlier years he would go out to see the patient any time he was called.

He would drive out in the country anywhere in the country wherever he was needed anytime day or night, driving his own horses, and hiring livery teams and a driver.

He has delivered so many babies, if you talk to the older folks, most of them had him during confinement.

The following poem was written especially in memory of

(Dr. G. H. Mammen)

Day after day he made his rounds,
The doctor who is gone.
He never tried to spare himself,
But just kept toiling on.
He gave his best from day to day
And brought new hope when skies were gray.
He brought so much of cheer and joy
This man of sterling worth;
And we will miss him more and more
Since he has left this earth.
The mem'ry of his life we pray,
Will ever guide us on our way.
