Dr. Joseph Otto Anders
is Rabaul’s only private dentist at present. He studied dentistry at Bonn, Berlin, Vienna and Leipzig, where he was granted his Doctorate. (It was not a Doctorate of Music.) “ A NDY” was born at Cologne, before 1939”, when he migrated to Australia and practised in partnership there.
In 1948, he joined the New Guinea Administration as a Dental Officer, and worked in many parts of the Territory. He left the service in 1952 to enter private practice in Rabaul.
In 1955, he married Miss Elva Eaborn at Brisbane. On returning to Rabaul he took up land in the Kokopo district, having it cleared and planted with 60,000 cocoa trees. This is now known as Wairiki Plantation, and Andy, who is not a talkative person, concedes that his “cacao is now in satisfactory bearing.”— Brett Hilder.
