Doctors (and other medical-related professionals)

"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 - Pharmacist (213 Market Street). Frank Luther Brown was one of Auburn’s most gifted citizens. Married to his wife Emma Marie (Naegele) Brown for over fifty years, Frank Brown was devoted to both his family and his community. Frank established “Brown’s Pharmacy” at this location where as a registered pharmacist he created and/or sold such delightful remedies as “Brown’s Cuticream, Florida Water, Fine Tooth Powders, Neutro – A guaranteed headache cure, and Korn Kure.” His store motto was “Purity, Accuracy and Reliability”.
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 now 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 collector’s items. Thanks in part to Frank’s prodigious efforts, over 220 different Post Cards exist in which the topic of the card is dedicated to either the residents or the town of Auburn, Pennsylvania.

Quail, Charles E. - Doctor (Washington Street)
Pharmacist (115 Market Street)
State Senator (Pennsylvania)
Charles Edward Quail 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 Virgina; 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, daughter of the Reverend John Frederick Weishampel and Gertrude Weishampel of Baltimore, Maryland. Emma was born on May 14, 1843 in Shiremanstown,PA. Emma Quail died on June 20, 1917. She is interred in the Auburn Church of God Cemetery located just north of Pearson Street, Auburn, PA.
Around 1867 or 1868 (reports vary), the Quails relocated to Auburn, Pennsylvania where Dr. Quail began to practice medicine. 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 (the present location of Alspach's Hair Styles) 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. He 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 who was born on May 10, 1868 and died on December 22, 1872 (this is the original son Charles Edward Quail whose brother, Charles Edward Quail Jr. was also named with the identical name since he was born after this son was already deceased);
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). He was interred on December 27th, 1892 in the Auburn Church of God Cemetery located just north of Pearson Street, Auburn, PA;
Emma Lulu Quail Filbert, born November 18, 1873, married on November 16, 1899 to Frederick Victor Filbert of Pine Grove, PA; and who had four children: Marion Louise Filbert, Frederic Quail Filbert, Edward Stuart Filbert and Margaret Luella Filbert;
Florence (or Flora?) Juanita Quail Lesher, born March 23, 1877 and married Amos Yerkes Lesher on April 9, 1902 (just six days after her brother Charles Edward Quail Jr. died) and who had three children: Charles Quail Lesher, James Edgar Lesher, and Richard Yerkes Lesher;
Charles Edward Quail, Jr. (a second son with the same name as a prior son) was born in Auburn on May 28, 1879 and died of nephro-typhoid fever on April 3, 1902 while he was a Senior at Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, PA. He had ties to the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. He was also a member of the Auburn Church of God and was interred in the Auburn Church of God Cemetery located just north of Pearson Street, Auburn, PA. (This is a different Charles Edward Quail from his brother, Charles Edward Quail who died in 1872).
