A. H. Junge, Veterinarian
   Dr. A. H. Junge, our first veterinarian came to Reedsville from Random
Lake In 1914.
 That same year he married Mable Klug. He wrote his exams and passed the
State Boards
 after he located here. Dr. Junge had a lot of competition because people
were accustomed
 to calling in the older men in the community to doctor their horses and
would have no part
 of a "young feller". Dr. bought his first horse and buggy in 1914
but when the train came
 through town, the horse became frightened and broke buggy, harness and all.
    In 1931, Dr. bought his first snowmobile. He had It only a short time
when they started
 to plow the roads and it was ot no use.
   Dr. Junge practiced in our community for 50 years. Like so many of our
successful
 businessmen, he served on the Board of Education for 12 years and as a village
trustee for
 six years.
