Hirschberg, was educated at Washington Washington University. In 1875 he embarked in the fire insurance business, purchasing an interest in an established firm. In the early '80's he associated with himself in this business his brother, Louis Hirschberg, since deceased, and Mr. Christopher J. Kehoe. This firm, which has ever since borne the name of F. D. Hirschberg & Bro., is among the leading representatives of Western insurance interests, and is a prominent member of the St. Louis Board of Fire Underwriters. Mr. Hirschberg's firm was the pioneer in insuring employers against accident to their employes. In addition to his insurance interests, Mr. Hirschberg is one of the chief representatives of the transatlantic steamship business in St. Louis.
