Dr. Frank E. ANDRE, an alumnus of Rush Medical College, now successfully 
practicing in Kenosha and filling the position of President of the Kenosha 
County Medical Society, was born 12 Nov 1870 in Kenosha, WI, a son of Henry 
and Almira Brooks (STONEBACH) ANDRE, both of whom were natives of PA, where 
they were reared and married. In 1868 they arrived in Kenosha, where the 
Henry ANDRE engaged in business as a cigar manufacturer and merchant up [p 
240] to the time of his retirement from active commercial life in 1910. They 
are still residents of Kenosha, and Mrs. ANDRE is a member of the Methodist 
church.

At the usual age Frank E. ANDRE became a pupil in the public schools and 
mastered the work of successive grades until graduated from the high school 
with the class of 1887. Subsequently he attended Oshkosh Normal School for 
two years and then began preparation for a professional career as a student 
in Rush Medical College of Chicago, where he completed his course with the 
class of 1894. For a year thereafter he practiced in Chicago, Cook County, 
IL, and in 1895 returned to Kenosha, WI, where he has since remained. Dr. 
ANDRE has gained professional distinction and notable success.

On 23 Oct 1901, Dr. Frank E. ANDRE was married to Miss Mary C. FRANTZ, a 
daughter of Captain Charles and Angeline (MARTIN) FRANTZ. They now have one 
son, Edgar Frantz ANDRE. Dr. ANDRE has extensive fraternal connections, 
being a valued member of the Elks, Eagles, Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum 
and the Foresters, the Germania Club and the Plattdeutsch Gilde. His 
political allegiance is given to the Republican party, and he has served as 
chairman of the city central committee and as a member of the county central 
committee for many years. In 1904 he became Coroner of Kenosha County, and 
occupied that position for four years. As previously stated, he has been 
honored with election to the presidency of the County Medical Society, of 
which he had been secretary, and he belongs as well to the WI State and 
American Medical Associations. His practice has never been confined to a 
single line but has covered both medicine and surgery, and he displays skill 
in each department, while in the discharge of his professional duties he is 
most conscientious and prompt.
