Excerpt from "History of Schuylkill County"
By: Adolf W. Schalck and David C. Henning
Published by State Historical Association, 1907
Schwalm, Thomas W., M.D., a prominent Homeopathic physician and surgeon in Pottsville,
was born at Orwigsburg, this county, June 15, 1856. He is the son of John A. and
Katherine (Hoy) Schwalm, natives of Schuylkill County. The father was born December 19, 1826,
and died June 2, 1894. He was a merchant for many years in Mahanoy City. The mother was
born May 5, 1829, and died January 3, 1887. Of the four children born to these parents Emma
is the eldest and the only daughter. She is the wife of Albert J. Luburg, and resides in Philadelphia;
Harry A. Schwalm is a merchant in Mahanoy City; Dr. Thomas W., is the third in order of birth, and
Albert H., is a hardware merchant in Pottsville, but most recently located in Shenandoah in the
same line of business. Dr. Schwalm received his general education in the public schools of
Mahanoy City and at New Berlin seminary, in Union county, Pennsylvania. He began his
professional studies at the University of Pennsylvania, but completed his course at the
Homeopathic Medical College of New York City, in which he graduated in the class of
1878. He spent one year in practice in the New York City hospital on Ward Island, and in
1879 he came to Pottsville, where he has since been in continuous and successful practice.
Dr. Schwalm has no specialties or hobbies, but is devoting his energies to general practice of
medicine and surgery , according to the tenets of his profession. He is a close student
of professional literature, and has a large and valuable library of carefully selected professional
books. He is a member of the state and county medical societies of Homeopathic physicians,
and keeps in the front rank in the onward march in his profession. Dr. Schwalm has been a member
of the Pottsville school board for the past seven years, and is president of that body at the present time.
He was married in 1893 to Miss Annie Rickert. His church affiliations are with the First
Presbyterian church in Pottsville. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is the only fraternal
society with which he is affiliated.
