No history of Milwaukee would be complete without reference to Dr. Joseph J. Gramling, now a most capable physician, standing in the front ranks among the representatives of the medical fraternity in the Cream city. He was born in Dousman, Waukesha county, Wisconsin, on the 26th of June, 1881, and is a brother of Dr. Henry J. Gramling, in connection with whose sketch extended reference is made to the parents and family. The public schools afforded to Dr. Joseph J. Gramling his early educational opportunities. His youth was spent on the home farm and he early became familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for the crops. In the winter months he attended school and thus his time was passed to the age of eighteen years. When desirous of gaining a broader education he became a student in the Valparaiso College at Valparaiso, Indiana, and thus completed his more specifically literary course. He next entered the Milwaukee Medical College, which is the medical department of Marquette University, and was graduated therefrom on the 15th of May, 1905.

Dr. Gramling began the practice of his profession in St. Martins, Milwaukee county, where he remained for a period of eleven years and since that time he has resided in the city of Milwaukee, winning a most creditable and substantial place as one of the forceful and resourceful members of the medical profession in this city. He is a partner of the Gramling Clinic and member of Trinity Hospital staff. He belongs to the Milwaukee Medical Society and also to the American Medical Association and by broad reading and study he keeps informed concerning the onward march of the profession. He is also one of the owners of the Gramling Farm, being connected with his two brothers in the ownership and conduct of a valuable tract of land of five hundred acres in Waukesha county, which is devoted to the breeding of pure bred Holstein-Friesian cattle and he now has on the farm about one hundred head, which are raised for sale and milk production. Dr. Gramling is also the treasurer of the Milwaukee Snow Conveyor Company.

On the 1st of October, 1907, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Gramling and Miss Juliana Link, who passed away on the 5th of July, 1913, leaving a family of four children: .Margaret, Joseph J., Dorothy Lou and James Anthony. The family residence is at number 450 Layton boulevard. Dr. Gramling and his family are communicants Oi the Catholic church and he is identified with the Knights of Columbus. Throughout his career he has been actuated by a laudable ambition that has prompted him to retain the highest possible position in his profession, in business circles and in his connection with public interests, for at all times he endorses those projects and plans which receive the support of all loyal and progressive citizens.
