On the record

Duemling came to Fort Wayne at about two, when his father, Professor Hermann F. Duemling — a Magdeburg-born Ph.D. — joined the Concordia College faculty to teach mathematics and natural science. The son was educated at St. Paul's Lutheran parochial school and Concordia College (class of 1889), took his M.D. at Washington University in St. Louis in 1892, and began practice in Fort Wayne the same year, adding a postgraduate course in surgery at Berlin's Friedrich Wilhelm University in 1897. After a decade of general practice he confined himself largely to surgery. He headed the surgical staff of Lutheran Hospital from 1905 and served on the city board of health, with memberships in the Allen County, Fort Wayne Academy, Indiana State, Tri-State and American medical societies. He married Adeline A. Stuermer on 5 October 1893.
