Dr. Mary A. Hoehn
Dr. Mary A. Hoehn, who since entering upon the active practice of medicine in 1894 has largely concentrated her energies upon the treatment of diseases of women and children, in which field she has been particularly successful, is a native of Cincinnati and a daughter of Michael and Margaret (Braun) Hoehn. The father, a native of Bavaria, was born in 1813 and spent his youthful days in his native land, whence he came to America when about thirty years of age. Continuing his journey into the interior of the country he settled in Cincinnati and became identified with its industrial interests as a plumber, opening a place of business on Sixth Street near Freeman. His excellent workmanship and careful management resulted in the continuos development and substantial growth of his business which year by year yielded him good returns until he retired to private life about fifteen years prior to his death, which occurred in 1884. His wife was also a native of Bavaria.
The parents, being devoted Roman Catholics; sent the daughter Dr. Hoehn, to the parochial schools, while for a time she was also a student in the public schools in Cincinnati. A natural interest in the science of medicine, the laws of health and all pertaining thereto led up to the determination to engage in active practice and thus make her life of direct usefulness and benefit to her fellowmen. She graduated from the Women’s Medical College of Cincinnati with the class of 1894, and the thorough training of that institution well equipped her for the responsible duties which have since come to her. She has built up a very satisfactory practice and has always remained in the neighborhood where she is now located, her office being at No. 1010 York Street. She is a sister of Dr. Aloysius Hoehn, who was a successful and prominent physician of this city up to the time of his retirement. She belongs to the Ohio-Miami Alumni Association and is well known in professional circles where her practical service and close conformity to a high standard of professional ethics have won for her the regards of those are in the same field of activity to which she has devoted her labors.
