About

He is the brother of Asheton H. Coldham

William Washington COLDHAM, M.D., one of the younger members of the medical fraternity of Toledo, is a son of one of this city´s most popular and prominent physicians, whose reputation was more than local, extending, as it did, throughout Ohio and adjoining states. The gentlemen whose name heads this article is assistant surgeon at St. Vincent´s Hospital, and holds a like position whit the First Regiment of Ohio Artillery. He is a member of the Toledo Medical Society, and in every possible way keeps up his studies and researches in the line of this profession.
Dr. James Coldham, the father of W.W., was born in England, and at an early day came to the United States. His medical studies were carried on in Harvard University and in other well known colleges. He came to this city in 1850, and before many years had elapsed had acquired a very extensive practice. His death occurred in January, 1891. His wife, whose maiden name was Anna Williams, is still living, making her home in Toledo. To Dr. James Coldham and wife were born five children, two sons and three daughters.
Our subject was born in Toledo, February 22, 1865, and received an elementary education in the public schools. Later he entered Galt College, of Ontario, Canada, was afterward a student of Trinity University, and for some time was in London, England. Returning to his native place, he took up medical studies in his father´s office, where he remained for two years. While in London he fitted himself for his future practice in a hospital, where he received the best of instruction. Thus well equipped, he opened an office in this city, and has since been engaged in general practice.
In 1890 Dr. Coldham was united in marriage whit Miss Catherine Shaw, who was born July 31, 1869, and whose father, E.C. Shaw, is a prominent wholesale merchant of Toledo. The home of the Doctor and his wife is at No. 2243 Robinwood Avenue, where they delight to entertain their hosts of friends and acquaintances.
In matters of political and public importance, Dr. Coldham is always deeply interested, and tries to the best of his ability to promote the welfare of the community in which he dwells. Politically he uses his right of franchise in favor of the Republican Party, to which his father also adhered. He is a young man of exemplary habits, of much more than ordinary intelligence and ability, and bids fair to become one of the prominent physicians of the state, judging by what he has accomplished already in his brief career.
