THEODORE J. KOEHLER, D. V. S. Among the honored and respected citizens of Fullerton, this county is the subject of this sketch, who was formerly engaged as a veterinary surgeon.

Theodore J. Koehler received his primary education in the public schools of his native township, and afterward attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown for a short time. After fully deciding to follow a professional life, he studied veterinary surgery and medicine for five years, under the instruction of Dr. J. C. Foelker, and after graduating he practiced with his preceptor for two years. At the end of that time he removed to Nazareth, Northampton County, where he opened an office and there practiced on his own account for about eight years. After leaving Nazareth he followed his professional career for three years in Easton, and finally, in 1885, moved to Fullerton, where he resided for the same length of time and built up a large patronage. Again returning to Easton, he made that place his home for a short time, and then we find him in Fullerton, in which city he has resided since 1890. Dr. Koehler owns a well-cultivated farm of twenty-three acres, besides his comfortable brick residence, which is located in Fullerton.

In politics Mr. Koehler is a Democrat. The community recognizes in him a valued citizen, the high esteem in which he is held having been gained by a well-spent life. He is a member of the German Lutheran Church, with which his wife is also connected, and is active in all good works in his neighborhood.
