  • Notes 
    • BRODRECHT, JOHN HENRY RICHARD was born in Strathroy in 1881 the son of Mr. Werner Brodrecht. He taught school near Bright for three years before entering the University of Toronto where he graduated in medicine in 1905. He took postgraduate work in England and became a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons.

      In 1906 he established his practice in New Hamburg, where he remained until April 1909, when he sold out to Dr. R. W. Anderson and left for the western United States. He spent a couple of years in Alaska with the Copper River Railroad before settling in Spokane, Washington.

      On January 23 1927 he died in Spokane leaving his widow and three daughters.

      DR. J. H. R. BRODRECHT.

      Few young men start out in life with brighter prospects than Dr. J. H. R. Brodrecht. He is a son of Mr. Werner Brodrecht, Manager of the New Hamburg Manufacturing Co. and therefore a New Hamburg' boy. After graduating in medicine two years ago from Toronto University and taking a post-graduate course in Hospitals of London, England, where he obtained the degree of M. R. C. S. (Eng.) and L. R. C. P. (London), he decided to locate in his home town. Events since have justified his decision, for he is working up a fine practice. One cannot go astray in ranking him among the coming men of the vicinity.
