"CHARLES B. DREHER, of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, was born near Drehersville, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, October 24, 1845, and is a son of William and Mary (Bear) Dreher."

" Dr. Dreher, the subject of our sketch, married Sarah Brode, a daughter of Thomas J. and Sarah Brode, of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, October 7, 1869, and has now a family of five children living: Augusta, residing at home; Dr. Edward C, who was educated in and graduated from the public schools of Tamaqua, and at the Millersville State Normal school; later, read medicine with his father, and graduated from the Hahnemann Medical college in April, 1893; Herbert, Guy and Anabel, the latter three also residing at home. Dr. Dreher was educated in the public schools, and for one year attended the select school of Professor D. P. Burnett, at Palo Alto, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania. Subsequently he attended the Millersville State Normal School, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He next entered the office of Dr. Benjamin Becker of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and pursued the study of medicine, attending at the same time the usual course of lectures in the Hahnemann Medical College, graduating there from in 1867. In the spring of the same year he located at Tamaqua, where he has since devoted himself closely to the practice of his profession. Thoroughly equipped for the work upon which he was about to enter, he met success at the very outset of his career, and he has admirably succeeded in building up a large and lucrative practice. He is a member of the Schuylkill County Homoeopathic Medical Society, and has been honored with a term as president of the association. He is also an honorary member of the American Institute of Homoeopathy ; has been a director of the Tamaqua Banking and Trust Company since 1885, and was one of the five men who organized the Edison Electric Light Company of Tamaqua, of which he has been a director since its organization. Dr. Dreher is a prominent figure in Masonic circles, in which he holds the esteem and regard of a warm host of true and admiring friends. He is a member of Tamaqua Lodge, No. 238, F. and A. M., of which he is a Past Master. He, like his ancestors, affiliates with the Democratic party, but the aspiration for political preferment has not developed itself even in his generation. He, as his ancestors before him, has no further interest in the politics of the day than a desire to see the best and the most competent men placed in official stations."
