Adelia E. Sanderson, M.D.
Adelia E. Sanderson, M.D., residing in the village of Osakis, Douglas County, Minnesota, is a very successful medical practitioner, and has devoted many years of her life to the profession in this and the neighboring county of Todd. In the early days of the settlement of that region she was the only one practicing medicine in that section of Douglas County, and she has a wide acquaintance and is universally honored and esteemed.
Mrs. Sanderson was born in Broome County, New York, November 4, 1829, and secured her school education in Marion County, Ohio. Her parents were Henry and Lucy (Meeker) Hotchkiss. April 25, 1851, Adelia Hotchkiss became the wife of Henry H. Sanderson, with whom she lived happily for over forty years.
(then the article has a full write up about her husband Henry H. Sanderson. See his Findagrave entry to read that.)
Mrs. Adelia Sanderson first began the practice of medicine at Cannon City, Minnesota, prior to her removal to Douglas County. She studied the profession under Dr. Norton Johnson, of that place, and after taking up her residence in Osakis, continued to practice. She was ever ready and anxious to aid those in distress of body, and being the only physician within a radius of fifteen miles her practice extended over a large territory. She had as her assistant Dr. B. R. Palmer of Sauk Centre. When the state law was passed requiring physicians to secure a certificate of ability, Mrs. Sanderson appeared before the state board of medical examiners at Minneapolis and obtained her certificate. Her ability is fully recognized by the leading physicians of Douglas and neighboring counties, many of whom she has associated with in consultation in numerous serious cases. She is the only lady physician practicing in Douglas County. She was chairman of the board of health of Osakis for eight years, and is a conscientious and thoroughly competent officer.
Mrs. Sanderson resides in her comfortable home in Osakis in companionship with her daughter and two sons. The number of her friends is only limited by her acquaintance. To Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson, five children were born, namely: Mary Rosabel, who is engaged in teaching in the public schools; and Emma, wife of Bailey D. Judkins, of Cass Lake [Minnesota] and now the mother of three children, Fred F. (living at home), Carlton J. and Clinton J. (twins), the former deceased, and the latter residing in Osakis.
