The following is taken from the Virginia Biographical Encyclopedia:
Name: St. Julian Oppenhimer, M. D.
From no race forming the composite citizenship of the United States has more valuable traits of character been introduced than from the German, the race from which Dr. Oppenhimer, of Richmond, Virginia, descends. This branch of the family was founded in the United States by Abraham Oppenhimer, born in Baden, Germany, in the year 1831, son of ------ Oppenhimer, a resident of Baden, who held the proud distinction of membership in the French Legion of Honor and the prouder distinction of receiving the insignia of the order from the hands of Napoleon, the Great, in return for noble services rendered the Emperor. Abraham Oppenhimer came to the United States when a young man, settling in Fluvanna county, Virginia, where he engaged in business, but at the outbreak of the war between the states, enlisted in the Fluvanna artillery and served in the Confederate army during the entire period, 1861-65. He died in Richmond, Virginia. Abraham Oppenhimer married, in 1860, Sarah Eliza Jones, born in Fluvanna county, Virginia, in 1838, daughter of William E. and Martha Jones, residents of Fluvanna county. Children: William Tell, now president of the board of health of Richmond; Roberta, born December 7, 1862; St. Julian, of further mention; R. P., born April 8, 1868; Martha, born August 30, 1870; A. C., born September 10, 1872. St. Julian Oppenhimer, third child and second son of Abraham and Sarah Eliza (Jones) Oppenhimer, was born January 29, 1866, at Fork Union, Fluvanna county, Virginia. When he was eight years of age his parents moved to Richmond, Virginia, and in the private schools of that city and the Locust Dale Academy, in Madison county, he prepared for college. His classical education was completed in Richmond College, and having made choice of medicine and surgery as his profession, he entered, in 1891, the Medical College of Virginia, at Richmond. In 1893 he was graduated with honors and given his degree of Doctor of Medicine. He then pursued a post-graduate course of study in New York City and served as interne in the Post-Graduate Hospital of that city. He then returned to Richmond and established offices at 514 West Grace street, where he has since been continually engaged in medical and surgical practice. With the desire for thoroughness and advancement characteristic of his race, Dr. Oppenhimer devoted special study and attention to surgery in later years and has established a high reputation in that branch of science. He is local surgeon for the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, as well as for a number of corporations of the city, where accidents are frequent, and since July, 1913, has been police surgeon for the city of Richmond. His practice has grown with the years and has reached most generous proportions and keeps him busily occupied. His brother, Dr. William Tell, also an eminent physician of Richmond, ranks with his brother in public esteem, the brothers being regarded as leaders of their profession in the city and state. Dr. Oppenhimer is a member of the American, Tri-State and Virginia State Medical associations, taking interest in the work of all and profiting by association with the most advanced thinkers and investigators of the profession in nation and state. He married, in Richmond, Virginia, June 7, 1900, Ellen Wise Mayo, born in that city, December 7, 1875, daughter of William Carrington and Margueritta Mayo, and granddaughter of Governor Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. Children: Ellen Wise, born March 11, 1901; Catherine Sargent, December 8, 1903; Martha Anderson, June 30, 1906; Ann Latimer, May 8, 1908; St. Julian Jr., June 9, 1909; William Mayo, May 30, 1913.
