Diamond Dick Tanner, Norfolk, NE

Richard Tanner was well-respected as a physician in Norfolk, Nebraska from 1910 to around 1930. His flowing locks of silver hair, waxed handlebar mustache and formidable facial features instilled confidence in his patients; although some considered him slightly eccentric.  “Handsome and debonair” were often used to describe him.

Few, if any of his regular patients had any idea of his flamboyant past.
