J. H. KIEFFER

J. H. Kieffer was born in western Pennsylvania.  In his early manhood 
he was a Lutheran preacher, having read somewhat of medicine before 
emigrating to Wheeling.  In 1836, he turned his attention to practice 
here, chiefly among his German friends.  In 1845 he entered into 
partnership with Dr. Victor L. Auler, which, however, after a few 
months, was dissolved, Dr. Auler leaving the city.  Dr. Kieffer died 
in 1848.  He was highly esteemed among his country-men, being 
regarded as a positive, rough and ready practitioner.
