Doctors (and other medical-related professionals)
Updated - 07/17/2023
"Doctors" would include those Auburn-area residents who served in some capacity in a medical-related field sometime during their life. For example, a family doctor, a nurse, an EMT, a military medic, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a physical or occupational therapist, even a veterinarian would qualify for this category; however, a "college doctorate degree" in certain fields which simply bestows the title of "Doctor" would not qualify for this category. For example, a doctorate of Business Administration might entitle John Doe to be referred to as Dr. John Doe, but he would not be found in this category. Below is a list of those Auburn-area residents who have served in a medical-related filed.

Brown, Frank Luther "Brownie" - (pharmacy operated circa 1905 - 1947)
Frank Luther Brown was born on January 5, 1870 in Lebanon, Lebanon County, PA. He was the son of Henry "Harry" A. Brown and Regina M. Kemmerer Brown. He was a brother to J. Harry Brown. Frank began working in drug stores and/or pharmacies as early as 1885 at the age of fifteen.
Frank L. Brown attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. In a periodical titled "First Century of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, 1821 -1921, the records state that Frank L. Brown's college thesis was titled "Suppositories".
Frank married Emma Marie Naegele/Nagel/Nagele Brown on June 14, 1893. They had the following children: Frank Melanchthon Brown, Luther Adolphus Brown and Miriam Brown (who died in infancy). Remainng married to his wife for over fifty years, Frank was devoted to both his family and his community.
Frank was a one-time roommate of the son of Senator Charles Edward Quail, Sr., of Auburn. During the coal strike of 1902, Frank entered into a correspondence with the Senator inquiring about obtaining a supply of river coal that had washed up from the river bed (Senator Quail is believed to have also owned at least one coal washery near Auburn). During this correspondence, Senator Quail tasked Frank with finding a purchaser for the pharmacy business at Auburn, which resulted in Frank purchasing the business himself.
Frank established a thriving pharmacy at what is now identified as 213 Market Street, Auburn. Apparently at some point in the past, his business location was identified as 210 Market Street, Auburn, even though he was always in the same structure (see advertisement pictured below). When or why the street addresses changed is uncertain at this time. Frank was one of Auburn’s most gifted citizens. He established “Brown’s Pharmacy” at this location, where as a registered pharmacist he created (sometimes using a mortar and pestle) and/or sold such delightful remedies as “Brown’s Cuticream; Brown's Mixture; Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy; Fine Tooth Powders; Florida Water; Knoxa Tablets; Korn Kure; Neutro – A guaranteed headache cure; Norwegian Cod Liver Oil; Pabst's Okay Specific - Cures Positively and Without Fail Gonorrhea and Gleet; 666 - A Laxative and a Tonic; and Tri-Dee Corn Solvent". Frank's motto was “Purity, Accuracy and Reliability”. The pharmacy also sold such products as boric acid, camphorated oil, candy, cigars, distilled extract of witch hazel, glycerin, ice cream, Kodak and other brand camera and photographic supplies, magazines, newspapers, perfumes, periodicals, quick-action gas and dyspepsia tablets, school supplies, sodas, stationary, sulfer, tincture of iodine and toilet articles.
Frank carried that same sense of perfection and attention to detail into his hobby of photography. He was an avid amateur photographer who recorded many of the historical sites of Auburn on film. Frank also used many of these pictures to produce scenic Post Cards of Auburn and its people. Most of his Post Cards are still in existence today and are considered collectors' items. Thanks in part to Frank’s prodigious efforts, over 250 different Post Cards exist in which the topic of the card is dedicated to either the residents, or the town, of Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. He also served as a notary public.
An undated and non-sourced news snippet states "Frank L. Brown, the druggist, has purchased a four horse power water motor and will hereafter make ice cream with that power." A second undated and non-sourced news snippet states "Frank L. Brown, the pharmacist and newsdealer, opened his ice cream parlors and soda fountain for the season last Saturday". A third undated and non-sourced item stated that "Doc" Brown compounded medicines with a mortar and pestle and served delicious sodas at marble-topped tables.
An advertisement in a 1939 Auburn High School playbook contains the following script "Everything that is ugly is made nice - Everything that is bitter is made sweet - All your aches and pains disappear - When you visit Brown's Pharmacy - Auburn". (Editor's note: Frank L. Brown either had an exaggerated belief in the curative properties of his products or he chose to use hyperbole in his advertising).
Frank L. "Brownie" Brown died in the Lemos B. Warne Hospital, Pottsville, Schuylkill County, PA on August 12, 1948. His residence was in Auburn at that time. His immediate cause of death was listed as "apoplexy" due to arteriosclerosis and hypertensive heart disease. Other conditions listed on his death certificate (#72895) included chronic fibroid prostate and stricture of urethra. He was interred within the Riverside Cemetery, Norristown, Montgomery County, PA.

Quail, Charles Edward Sr. - (practiced in Auburn circa 1867 - 1910)
Charles Edward Quail (Sr.) was born on October 9th, 1841. He was the son of German immigrant Conrad Quail and Mary Ports Quail. His father, Conrad, died of a ruptured blood vessel in 1845 while Charles was still a toddler. Charles had five siblings: George W. Quail, Margaret Quail, John H. Quail, William U. Quail, and Susan Quail Little. Charles attended common school in Baltimore, Maryland. He was a student at Mount Irvin College of Manchester, Maryland. He then began attending the University of Maryland Medical School. He did not complete his college schooling due to the outbreak of the Civil War. Charles Quail felt it was his patriotic duty to participate in the war. He enlisted in August, 1862.
He was a sergeant in Company D of the 8th Maryland Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army, a unit renown as the "Maryland Brigade". He saw military action at Antietam, Clarksburg, West Virginia; Bolivar Heights; the Gettysburg Campaign; Maryland Heights; Funkstown (Hagerstown); the Wilderness; Laurel hill; Spotsylvania; Cold Harbor; Petersburg; Weldon Rail Road; Poplar Springs Church; Hatcher's Run; the Siege of Petersburg and the Appomattox Court House. Sergeant Quail assumed command of his company at Laurel Hill after all of the officers had been seriously wounded or killed in action. He was wounded in action during the conflict at the Spotsylvania Courthouse. He served in the military with distinction as a medic for the Army of the Potomac. He mustered out of the Army on May 31st, 1865.
After his stint in the military, he returned to college in Maryland and graduated in 1867 with a medical degree. (He interned at the Baltimore infirmary for approximately one year). On June 4, 1867, he married Emma Catherine Weishampel Quail, daughter of the Reverend John Frederick Weishampel and Gertrude Weishampel of Baltimore, Maryland. Emma was born on May 14, 1843 in Shiremanstown, PA. She died on June 20, 1917 and was was interred within the Auburn Church of God cemetery, Cemetery Road, Auburn, PA.
Around 1867 or 1868 (reports vary), the Quails relocated to Auburn, Pennsylvania where Dr. Quail began to practice medicine out of their residence at 216 Washington Street in Auburn. He was a prominent doctor within the community for many years. He was a primary organizer of the Auburn Nut and Bolt Works in 1887 and acted as its President for approximately five years.
Dr. Quail also opened a pharmacy at 115 Market Street in 1892. In 1902, Auburn resident Frank Brown initiated correspondence with Senator Quail which eventually led to Senator Quail selling his pharmacy business in Auburn to Frank Brown. The "Clay Record" manuals, Volume 17 - 18 which were published in 1900, states "The vitrified brick plant at Auburn, Pa., which has been idle for four years, has been bought by Senator Quail, and others, of Reading, Pa., paying $24,000 for it". Quail then served as a business adviser for the Auburn Shale Brick Company, which had originally formed in 1880.
Charles Sr. was a Burgess for the town of Auburn. He served on the Auburn School Board for an impressive thirty-three years, part of that time as the board treasurer and part of that time as the school director. He had religious affiliations with the Auburn Independent Church of God, serving as an elder, a trustee of the church and its secretary. Dr. Quail was also a delegate of the German Eldership. Dr. Quail was instrumental in procuring the town reservoir. The Reading Eagle Newspaper, in the June 25, 1902 issue, stated that Senator Quail intended to erect two additional coal washeries at Auburn (but it is uncertain whether or not this was accomplished). He also maintained a farm in West Brunswick Township approximately one mile southeast of Auburn, PA.
Dr. Quail was also a member of the Schuylkill County Medical Society as well as the Pennsylvania State Medical Society. He served as Schuylkill County coroner for two terms upon being elected to the position in 1873. Dr. Quail was a Federal Pension examiner. He was religiously affiliated with the Independent Church of God in Auburn. He was active in numerous civic and fraternal organizations. Dr. Quail was also very involved in veteran military organizations to include the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Commission; the Soldiers' Orphans' Commission; the Jerre Helms Post #26 of the G.A.R. (in Schuylkill Haven, PA) and the Survivors' Association of the 48th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.
He served as the Schuylkill County Republican Party Chairman. In 1900, he decided to run for, and subsequently won, a Republican State Senator's position for the 29th Senatorial District. In February of 1902, the Reading Eagle newspaper reported that Senator Quail was bedridden from a serious case of erysipelas (an acute disease caused by bacterial infection. Erysipelas is characterized by large, raised red patches on the epidermis, especially on the face and legs, with measurable fever and severe general illness) and quinsy (an inflammation of the throat frequently manifesting as an abscess in the region of the tonsils). In March of 1903, Senator Quail was a passenger on a train traveling on the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Branch of the Reading Railroad when a train car derailed. According to the Reading Eagle newspaper, Senator Quail sustained "painful injuries" as a result of the mishap. He was re-elected as a Senator in 1904.
Even in his death, Dr. Quail obtained one more distinction - in 1910, he was present in the Auditor-General's office of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building when he suddenly died. He was the first person to die in the newly constructed capitol building. Ex-Senator Quail died from angina pectoris (a medical term for chest pain caused by coronary heart disease) on December 21, 1910 at sixty-nine years of age. His grave marker, which he shares with his wife Emma, can be found at the Auburn Church of God Cemetery, located just north of Pearson Street, Auburn, PA. A tribute to Dr. Quail from the Biblical book of Matthew is inscribed on the tombstone which fittingly reads "I was sick and ye visited me."
Dr. Charles E. Quail and his wife Emma Catherine Weishampel Quail had five children:
Charles Edward Quail Jr. who was born on May 10, 1868 and died on December 22, 1872 (this is the original son Charles Edward Quail Jr. whose brother, Charles Edward Quail Jr. was also named with the identical name since he was born after this son was already deceased) and was interred within the Auburn Church of God cemetery, Cemetery Road, Auburn, Schuylkill County, PA;
Foster Koehler Quail, who was born in Auburn on June 23, 1869, employed as a physician at the Turkey Gap Coal and Coke Company at Ennis, West Virginia, where he contacted typhoid fever, was ill for sixteen days and subsequently died on December 21, 1892 at the relatively young age of twenty-three (preceding his father in death by exactly eighteen years).

Robinhold, Lewis Charles - (praticed in Auburn circa 1895 - 1931)
Lewis Charles Robinhold was born on 01/08/1869 in Port Clinton, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Adam S. Robinhold and Mary A. Billig Robinhold. He was a brother of William L. Robinhold. Lewis attended Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Phildelphia County, PA, completing his coursed in 1891 at which point he returned to Port Clinton to begin his medical practice. He married Bertha E. Schickram Robinhold and they had at least two children: Guy Augustus Robinhold and Madeline Robinhold Leinbach.
After practicing medicine in Port Clinton for approximately four years, he moved to his residence and practice to 139 Market Street, Auburn and purchased the medical practice of "Dr. Schultz". The "Dr. Schultz" from whom he purchased the medical practice would have been Auburn's second "Dr. Schultz"...Dr. David L. Schultz, who was the son of Auburn's first "Dr. Schultz"...Dr. Augustus Schulze (Schultz). Dr. David L. Schultz died the same year as the transaction and it is unclear as to whether he personally negotiated the sale of the medical practice or if Dr. Robinhold purchased the practice from his estate. Amateur Auburn-area historians Charles Bohr, Kermit Mengel and Sarah Berk reminisced about Dr. Robinhold, stating he was an "old-time" doctor who only charged fifty-cents for office visits and who kept his horse in a livery stable located at the rear of his property.
A non-sourced newspaper clipping tentatively dated 1952 stated that "forty years ago" (circa 1912) "Dr. Robinhold, of Auburn, was badly injured by his horse running away, demolishing the buggy and throwing the doctor out". Another non-sourced newspaper clipping, tentatively dated from 1958, stated that "forty years ago" (circa 1918) "Dr. L. C. Robinhold, Auburn, had his right wrist fractured while attempting to crank his auto".
Not only did Dr. Robinhold serve as the deputy coroner for Schuylkill County but he was the President of the Auburn Board of Health. He served as Vice-President of the First National Bank of Auburn and was a member of the Auburn Board of Trade. He also served as President of the Auburn School Board at one point.
Dr. Lewis Charles Robinhold died on 03/09/1934 in Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and was interred within the Port Clinton Cemetery, Port Clinton.

The "Dr. Schultz" from whom he purchased the medical practice would have been Auburn's second "Dr. Schultz"...Dr. David L. Schultz, who was the son of Auburn's first "Dr. Schultz"...Dr. Augustus Schulze (Schultz). Dr. David L. Schultz died the same year as the transaction and it is unclear as to whether he personally negotiated the sale of the medical practice or if Dr. Robinhold purchased the practice from his estate. Amateur Auburn-area historians Charles Bohr, Kermit Mengel and Sarah Berk reminisced about Dr. Robinhold, stating he was an "old-time" doctor who only charged fifty-cents for office visits and who kept his horse in a livery stable located at the rear of his property.
A non-sourced newspaper clipping tentatively dated 1952 stated that "forty years ago" (circa 1912) "Dr. Robinhold, of Auburn, was badly injured by his horse running away, demolishing the buggy and throwing the doctor out". Another non-sourced newspaper clipping, tentatively dated from 1958, stated that "forty years ago" (circa 1918) "Dr. L. C. Robinhold, Auburn, had his right wrist fractured while attempting to crank his auto".
Not only did Dr. Robinhold serve as the deputy coroner for Schuylkill County but he was the President of the Auburn Board of Health. He served as Vice-President of the First National Bank of Auburn and was a member of the Auburn Board of Trade. He also served as President of the Auburn School Board at one point.
Dr. Lewis Charles Robinhold died on 03/09/1934 in Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and was interred within the Port Clinton Cemetery, Port Clinton.

Sallade, James Washington - (veterinary practice in Auburn circa 1900-1921)
James Washington Sallade was born in Hereford Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, in August of 1850, although the specific day has been cited as August 4, August 14, or August 19 in different sources. His grave marker is engraved with the date of birth as being August 4, 1850. He was the son of Abraham Sallade and Juliana Levan Sallade. He was a brother of Abraham G. Sallade, Amanda Sallade Gilbert, Catharine Tillie (Matilda?) Sallade Shappell, Eliza (Elizabeth?) Amelia Sallade Fronheiser, Hannah Maria Sallade Hoffman, Juliana Louisa Sallade Huber, Lydia Ann Sallade Stauffer, M. Ida Sallade Rush and William H. Sallade.
James attended the public schools of his native township, and in East Greenville, Montgomery County, PA. He then entered Kallynean Academy at Boyertown, Berks County, PA; and later the Keystone State Normal School in Kutztown, Berks County, PA (what later became the Kutztown University). During school vacations he worked in a grist mill and clerked in a country store.
James taught school six terms in Hereford and Boyertown. He then worked in the iron ore mines and assisted in the building of the Colebrookdale Railroad. In 1875 while teaching school, he organized the Hereford Debating Club, which eventually evolved into the Hereford Literary Society. In his young manhood Dr. Sallade became interested in politics. In 1872, he was appointed clerk and deputy warden of the Berks County jail. He then was made steward of the Insane Department of the Berks County Poor House, a position he held six years.
In 1872 Dr. Sallade married Mary Ann Covely Sallade, daughter of David Covely, and granddaughter of the late Michael Gery, former county commissioner of Berks County. To this union have been born three children: Anna Maria Sallade McCarthy, wife of Dr. F. H. McCarthy (a former student of Dr. Sallade's who succeeded to the latter's practice); Katie May Sallade; and Ira Jason Sallade, who was accidentally killed on the Pennsylvania Railroad in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, PA on 07/09/1893, at the age of thirteen. News articles stated the boy was “cut in half” in the incident.
James matriculated as a student at the Ontario Veterinary College, from which he graduated as honor man in 1883. In August of that year, he took an active part in organizing the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical Association, of which he was elected the first president, serving as such for four years. He opened a veterinary office in Reading, Berks County, PA. He practiced there a short time, after which he was in Topton, Berks County, PA, until 1885. At some point, he also was an insurance agent for the Farmers’ Fire Insurance Company of York, York County, PA.
James then moved to Pottsville, Schuylkill County, PA, where he established an extensive veterinary practice, being the first graduate veterinarian in the county. He practiced there from approximately 1885 until 1895. He employed several assistants, and trained a number of young men for college, fourteen successful practitioners in various parts of the country owing their early training to him.
In 1888 he became a member of the United States Veterinary Medical Association, and in 1894 issued the call and organized the Schuylkill Valley Veterinary Medical Association. In 1895 he was appointed by the Governor of the State as member of the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical Examining Board. James was appointed Deputy Sherriff of Schuylkill County and was eventually in charge of the Schuylkill County’s sheriff's office as well as the County Almshouse.
In 1900, James relocated from Pottsville to Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until his death in 1921. In addition to his veterinary practice, he became a director and Vice-President of the First National Bank of Auburn. He served as President of the Auburn School Board. He also served as a Justice of the Peace in Auburn. Dr. Sallade owned and operated one of the numerous coal-washeries located in the Schuylkill River adjacent to Auburn. Two undated and non-sourced newspaper snippets read as follows:
"The only washery which was not carried away by the January freshet, belonging to Dr. J. W. Sallade, is taking out coal of exceptionally fine quality from the river bed and the Doctor has quite a large demand for it. The other washeries which were destroyed are fast being rebuilt." - Undated and unidentified source.
"The late flood carried two of Dr. J. W. Sallade's scows down the Schuylkill River from Auburn. The scows were used at his coal washery." - Undated and unidentified source.
In 1906 he successfully passed the Veterinary Civil Service examination and was subsequently employed by the Federal government in scientific work.
Dr. James Washington Sallade died on 07/02/1921 as a result of “paralysis of the bowels”. Reports stated that he was sick since 06/28/1921 and "died after suffering intense agony”. He was interred within the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Pottsville, Schuylkill County, PA.

Schulze (Schultz), Augustus - (practiced in Auburn circa 1853 - 1871)
Augustus Schultz was born in the province of Prussia, Germany, on 08/14/1799. He received his medical education in Berlin, Germany, then proceeded to Brazil, South America, where he practiced medicine for one year. He then relocated to New York City, New York where he accepted employment as a clerk in a drug store.
Augustus married Catharine/Catherine Haas Schulze in 1829. They had the following thirteen children: Amelia Schulze (Schultz), Anna Catharine Schulze (Schultz or Schulze) Schwenk, Catharine Schulce (Schultz or Schulze) Ladner, Charles A. Schultz, David L. Schultz (who also would serve as a doctor for Auburn), Ella Solly Schultz, Frederick Schultz, Henry Augustus Schultz, Mary J. Schulze (Schultz), Rosamunda Schulze (Schultz), Sarah Anne Schultz Fleisher, William R. Schultz and an unidentified male child "who died young". The website findagrave.com has no listing for this child as having been interred anywhere in Berks or Schuylkill County.
Augustus at some point moved to Hamburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he practiced medicine until 1853. In that year, he finally relocated to Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, where he began a medical practice. Based on the enlargement of an 1863 map of Auburn pictured below, it is presumed that Dr. Schultz maintained an office in the town of Auburn adjacent to both Canal Street and the Schuylkill Canal, and kept a private residence south of town (near the bottom of the map).
In 1857, Augustus became the chief burgess of the newly established town of Auburn, a position he held until his death thirteen years later. He also served as Auburn's Justice of the Peace for a number of years. In 1860, he embarked in the mercantile business in Auburn, and for a number of years carried on a successful enterprise. In 1866 he was elected Director of the Poor of Schuylkill County.
Augustus is believed to have died in Auburn on 09/03/1870 at the age of seventy-one; however, the burial records of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania, indicate he died in 1871. He was interred within the St. John's Church cemetery, Cemetery Road, Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.

Schultz, David L. - (practiced in Auburn 1876 - 1895)
An 1888 listing of Auburn merchants in the Pottsville Republican newspaper includes an entry for "D. L. Schultz" with the notation "general store". The website findagrave.com contains a single listing for a "D. L. Schultz" who is interred within the Auburn area.
David L. Schultz was born in Hamburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania on either 03/12/1850 or 05/12/1850 (conflicting records, but his grave marker is engraved with the May date). He was the son of Dr. Augustus Schulze (Schultz), who also would eventually have a medical practice in Auburn, and Catherine Haas Schulze (Schultz). He was the brother of twelve siblings to include Amelia Schulze (Schultz), Anna Catharine Schulze (Schultz or Schulze) Schwenk, Catharine Schulce (Schultz or Schulze) Ladner, Charles A. Schultz, Ella Solly Schultz, Frederick Schultz, Henry Augustus Schultz, Mary J. Schulze (Schultz), Rosamunda Schulze (Schultz), Sarah Anne Schultz Fleisher, William R. Schultz and an unidentified male child "who died young".
David L. Schultz also became a medical doctor, graduating from the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA in 1876. Upon graduation, he immediately relocated to Auburn, Schuylkill County, PA. He was a member of the Auburn Castle No. 168, Knights of the Golden Eagle.
David married Mary A. Drumheller Schultz on 10/27/1890. He is listed in the 1890 Census Records with the occupation of "physician". There is no record of David and Mary having children on the website findagrave.com, nor any that could be found using Internet search engines.
Unfortunately, David died in Auburn at the early age of only 44 years on 01/13/1895, and is interred within the St. John's Church cemetery, Cemetery Road, Auburn, Schuylkill County, PA. Whether this David L. Schultz was the same individual identified as "D. L. Schultz" who operated a general store in Auburn is uncertain at this time but highly probable.
