ADRIAN C. KARSTEN, M.D.
Dr. Adrian C. Karsten is one of the well known medical practitioners of Horicon, where he has been prominent as a physician and surgeon for twenty years. He was born in Forreston, Ogle county, Illinois, on August 16, 1865, and is a son of John H. and Adriaane (v. d. Tak) Karsten, both of whom were born in The Netherlands. The father's birth occurred on the 16th of February, 1833, and his early life was spent in studying theology and medicine. He later was ordained as a minister of the gospel and for fifty years he has been active in promoting religious expansion. His residence in America dates from 1844 (see post script), in which year he located in Holland, Michigan, where he was an active factor in the furthering of Christianity. He also attended school during that time in order to learn the English language and was graduated from Rutgers College, a theological seminary in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1862. He studied medicine afterward for one year and at the end of that time came to Fond du Lac county, where he took up his duties as a minister and had charge of various parishes. He worked in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, staying in the latter state for fourteen years, first in Fond du Lac county and afterward in Sheboygan county. He afterward removed to Holland, Michigan, where he took up newspaper work. There he still resides and has retired from the ministry, although he is still active in literary work. His wife is also living. They became the parents of six children: Dr. Adrian C., the subject of this sketch; Elizabeth, the wife of John Rankins, a retired farmer of Coopersville, Michigan; Anna, who is in the millinery business at Kalamazoo, Michigan; Carrie, the wife of Herman Lemknil (sic), a rural free delivery mail carrier, at Oostburg, Wisconsin; and Jennie, who resides with her parents in Holland, Michigan, where she is teaching music.
Dr. Karsten was educated in the district schools of Fond du Lac county and attended the high school at Waupun. He entered Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and later attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He received his degree of M.D. from Rush Medical College, Chicago, and at the age of twenty-seven years began practicing in Horicon. Since that time he has built up an extensive patronage which is accorded him on account of his expert knowledge of the underlying principles of his profession, upon his dexterity and skill, and upon his progressive and modern methods. Dr. Karsten is one of the substantial and representative physicians of Horicon. He dovotes his entire time to his practice which is lucrative and constantly expanding. The territory in which he serves extends beyond the limits of the village and into Dodge county, and the Doctor uses an automobile with which to make his calls and has found this a convenient and rapid way of covering ground. From the very beginning his success has been gratifying, based as it is upon the firm foundaion of scientific efficiency. He is now known and welcomed in many families in Horicon and Dodge county not only for his professional ability but for his genial and lovable personal qualities.
Dr. Karsten was married in February, 1887 to Miss Mary M. McCoy, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland, January 26, 1865. She is a daughter of Henry B. and Caroline W. (Bentley) McCoy, the father a native of Virginia and the mother of England. Henry McCoy was during his youth a rectifier, but later followed the occupation of fisherman. He met with financial reverses during the Civil war, losing thirty-seven thousand dollars in one day. He and his wife have now passed away. To Dr. and Mrs. Karsten haven been born three children: Norma, whose birth occurred on the 5th of September, 1888, and who is the wife of Arthur Flory, chief engineer for the steam turbine department of the Allis-Chalmers Company of Milwaukee, by whom she has one child, Karsten, whose birth occurred in February, 1912; Jean, born June 7, 1894, who is attending Sacred Heart Academy at Madison, Wisconsin; and John, born May 16, 1896, who is a student in the Horicon high school.
In his political affiliations Dr. Karsten is republican, but is not active as an office seeker. He belongs to the American Medical Association and the Wisconsin State and the Dodge County Medical Societies. He also holds membership in an association composed of the Ann Arbor graduates of this section of Wisconsin and is active in the affairs of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Surgeons Association, being the head surgeon of this organization in Horicon. He is prominent in the Masons and holds membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellow. In his practice he is distinguished by enterprise, by modernly progressive lines, by a broad knowledge of the many technical and special details regarding medicine and by a humanity and kindness which endear him to those with whom he comes in contact and make of every patient a firm friend.
post script: All accounts found put John H. Karsten's immigration from the Netherlands to America in 1847.
