KUGELER, Henry Behrent Albert, physician and surgeon, was born in San Francisco, Cal., July 30, 1870,
son of August and Meta (von Krog) Kugeler. His father, a native of Germany, came to America in 1856
and settled in San Francisco, where he was a merchant. Henry B. A. Kugeler received his preliminary
education in the grammar and high schools of San Francisco, which latter gave him the Bridge Medal.
After a year at the University of California he entered the Toland Medical College of that institution,
and was graduated in 1890 with the degree of M. D.

Coors-Kugeler Wedding a Notable Event (Colorado Transcript dated Dec 31 1903)
Undoubtedly the most brilliant wedding in the history of Golden was that of Miss Louisa M. Coors
eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Adolph Coors and Dr. Henry Kugeler of San Francisco which took place at
Calvary Church at high noon last Saturday, Dec. 26.
No pains or expense were spared in decorating the little church, and the result was most charming and
altogether startling in its effects. These decorations and the placing of them are said to have cost
nearly $81,000.
Dr. Henry Kugeler is a young gentleman of culture and refinement and has a brilliant future
in his profession. He has been a great traveler and it was in Europe last year that he first met
the young lady who is now his wife.
It was a case of love at first sight.
Friends of the family who were in attendance were royally entertained at the Coors home after the
ceremony, the newly wedded pair driving to Denver in the evening to start their elaborate
wedding tour after which they will settle down in San Francisco to a life which all hope will be
full of happiness and joy.
The San Francisco Blue Book; the Fashionable Private Address, Season of 1905,
a San Francisco society register, lists:
"Dr. HENRY KUGELER, 2 to 4 p. m. except Sundays, 813 Sutter St."
Dr. Kugeler was a member of the prestigious University Club.
Dr. and Mrs. Kugeler lived in San Francisco at 2210 Baker Street while waiting for their house,
a gift from Mrs. Kugeler's father Adolph Coors, to be built at 3636 Washington Street in Presidio Heights.
(the house sold recently for $15 million dollars)
Dr. Kugeler died in San Francisco on Dec 27, 1914 at the young age of 44.
He was survived by his wife and three children.
