Albert J. ZINNS, M.D., No 490 Eleventh Street, was born in 1851 at Manitowoc, 
Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, and obtained his literary training in the public 
schools of the city of Manitowoc, following the profession of a teacher there 
and at Two Rivers [Manitowoc County, Wisconsin] for five school terms with 
considerable success.

Returning then to his native place [returning to Manitowoc from Two Rivers], 
he devoted himself with much earnestness to the study of medicine in 1874, 
until the fall of that year, when he removed to Buffalo [Erie County], New 
York, for the more efficient prosecution of his studies, under Dr. S. W. 
WETMORE, who is now Clinical Surgery Professor in the medical college of the 
city of Buffalo.

The young doctor [Albert J. ZINNS] graduated from the medical department of 
Wooster University, Cleveland [Cuyahoga County], Ohio, in 1878, and was the 
House Physician of Charity Hospital during the last two years devoted by him 
to study in the University.

Removing after that time to this city [Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, 
Wisconsin], he located here [Milwaukee] in 1878, and has since that date 
devoted himself to professional labors here with success. The doctor having 
given special attention to that branch [dentistry] of the medical profession, 
he is a member of the State Dental Society.
