JOSEPH A. JUEN, M. D.
Dr. Joseph A. Juen, who since 1904 has been successfully engaged in the general practice of medicine and surgery in Ossian, is a native of Dubuque, Iowa, born June 30, 1875. His parents, Raphael and Catherine (Walter) Juen, were born in Tyrol, Austria, and came to America about the year 1871, locating in Dubuque, Iowa, where the father followed his trade of cabinet-making until his death, which occurred about 1902. His wife survives him and makes her home in Dubuque. They were the parents of two children: Mary, who has passed away; and Joseph A., of this review.
The last named acquired his early education in the Dubuque public schools, later attending St. Joseph's College. Having determined to make the practice of medicine his life work, he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in St. Louis and from this institution was graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1904. He settled immediately in Ossian and he has since continued to practice there, having secured a large and representative clientage, which continually increases as his ability, knowledge and medical skill become more widely known.
Dr. Juen married Miss Lila Isabel Flesch, a native of Wisconsin, and they have become the parents of three children: Ralph, who has passed away; one son who died in infancy; and Gladys, born April 11, 1910. Dr. Juen is a member of the Catholic Church and politically is identified with the Republican Party. Along professional lines he belongs to the American Medical Association, the Iowa State and the Winneshiek County Medical Societies and through his membership in these organizations keeps in touch with the most advanced medical thought. He has made an excellent professional record and the work he has accomplished has gained him the respect and regard of his brethren of the medical fraternity and the confidence and esteem of the local public.
