Abstract
This presentation traced the life of Paul von de Schoeppe, an early (1910 P.S.C.) DC, who practiced in Antigo, WI. Before taking up chiropractic, von de Schoeppe took a sanitarium management course from Bernarr McFadden at his Battle Creek institution.
von de Schoeppe opened a school, then decided to erect a building to house the school, a hotel, his office, and a sanitarium. It opened under the name Hotel Backbone in February of 1913. VDS was bankrupt by September of that year and, soon thereafter, moved to Duluth.
The hotel continued to operate under that name until 1916, when it was re-named Hotel Antigo. It operated as a hotel until the 1960s. It remains in operation as low-income housing for men.
