Lincoln, she said her work as a veterinarian always
has been gratifying. She said each day brought
something intriguing.
Geicler grew up in the Ilcbrcn area, and attended
high school there. She came to Lincoln in 1933 to
work and attend UNL where she studied dietetics as
a part-time student. At that time, she worked as a
bookkeeper at Lincoln's Ackerman Animal Hospital,
3201 S. 10th St.
She said her interest in veterinary science grew
through her work in a hospital and because she
liked science and medicine as well as animals.
Geisler said as her interest in veterinary medicine
grew, she changed her major from dietetics to vete
rinary medicine. She applied to the University of
Iowa's veterinary medicine program, but "Iowa
didnt even want to see a transcript"
She next applied at Kansas State University, and
in 1944, was accepted into the veterinary medicine
program there.

Geislcr graduated with a bachelor of science
decree and a doctor of veterinary science decree in
1947. She was Just one month short of her 30th
birthday when she completed her schooling.
Geisler returned to Lincoln to work as a veterinar
ian at the Ackerman Animal Hospital after her
graduation.
She said as a woman veterinarian, she expe
rienced no major problems or prejudice from peo
ple. She said she remembers one incident involving
an elderly lady who wanted a veterinarian to make a
house call to see her sick dog. Geisler said she regu
arly made house calh years ago, so she went to the
woman's home.
However, when she introduced herself as a vete
rinarian, the old lady slammed the door in her face,
saying she wanted a male veterinarian.
She said she worked at the Ackerman Animal
Hospital until 1D73, then bought the hospital and
changed it to the Geisler Animal HospitaL
When she retired, she sold the hospital to Rick
Sitzman, a veterinarian from McCook :
Geislcr said that since her graduation in 1947,
there have been many changes in the medicines,
vaccines and diets available which have "made a lot
of difference in the health of the small animals." She
said the changes now allow veterinarians to prevent
many problems.
