An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, page 437 DR. ERNST T. HEIN, a practicing physician at Spokane, Washington, is a native of Germany. He was born in 1856, third child of Julius and Ernstine (Beusgen) Hein, both natives of Germany and still residents of that country. His father is a minister in the Lutheran Church. At the age of seventeen the subject of our sketch came to the United States and located in Baltimore, Maryland, where he engaged in the drug business and began the study of pharmacy, completing his course and gradating in 1880. He then engaged in business for himself. In 1885 he commenced the study of medicine, entered the Baltimore Medical College, and graduated at that institution in 1888, after which he practiced medicine in Baltimore a year and a half. In August, 1889, he came to Spokane and at once entered upon a professional career here, which thus far has proved a successful one. He has identified himself with both the State and county medical associations, and during the few years of his residence in this city he has made many warm friends. Politically, he is a Republican. Dr. Rein was married, in 1875, to Miss Rachel I. Sroud, a native of Maryland. They are members of the Lutheran Church. Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in October 2003 by Jeffrey L.
