Dr. Frederick A. Stratton (1885–1951) was a highly prominent American surgeon, medical educator, and academic administrator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
He is best remembered for his decades of leadership at the Marquette University School of Medicine (now the Medical College of Wisconsin).
Dr. Stratton served as the Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the Marquette University School of Medicine for nearly three decades, from 1922 to 1950. [1]
Upon his retirement from active teaching after 43 years of volunteer and faculty service, Marquette University awarded him the honorary title of Professor Emeritus of Clinical Surgery. [1, 2]
Early in his career, he contributed to medical literature regarding regional anesthetic practices.
Dr. Frederick A. Stratton served as president of the Medical Society of Milwaukee County in 1923.
He was highly active in local and national professional organizations throughout his career.
Medical Society of Milwaukee County: He held leadership roles within the organization, serving as its President in 1923.
Milwaukee Academy of Medicine: He was recognized with an honorary membership in this local institution.
Dr. Stratton was a notable member of the Founders' Group of the American Board of Surgery.
He held active memberships in the Central Surgical Association, the Milwaukee Surgical Society, and the Wisconsin Surgical Society.
He was a formal Fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association.
Dr. Stratton was a lifelong resident of the Milwaukee area. Later in life, at age 72, he married Irene M. Panak, a Milwaukee nurse.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Wilson Cochran (and his wife) were prominent figures in the Presbyterian Church who lived in Milwaukee at the turn of the 20th century, though they were not medical or biological relatives of Dr. Frederick A. Stratton.
Rev. Dr. Joseph Wilson Cochran was the highly influential pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee.
He served the Milwaukee parish around 1900 before moving on to become the National Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Education and eventually the pastor of the American Church in Paris, France.
