zens-Dr. H. L. Rosenberg. Tn
rumor could¬ be credited until i
was verified over and over again, TO
those who had seen him, only few
hours previously, looked upon a maj
who seemed to be the very personifi
cation of health-large, powerful ant
full Of energy.
DR.. Rosenberg was called to attenC
a patient in the town of Texas north o.
the city. The trip was made in
double cutter and he was accompanied
by his daughter, Miss Rosenberg
and his driver. AS usual when re
turning from a country call up that
way he stopped at Riyerview park
where he telephoned his office to fine
out whether other calls had been sent
in from that locality, at the time ex-
changing pleasantries with those
whom he met; continuing on theil
way, DR.. Rosenberg expressed
wish for drink from the Jim Moore
creek spring, which is in the Walter
Alexander park. Having thus salts
fed his thirst they proceeded on
their homeward journey. When op-
posite st. Mary's hospital, Miss Rosen.
berry, receiving no response to a
question asked her father, noticed
that his eyes were closed, but as he
often did this when in deep thought,
she was not startled; few seconds
later, however, he leaned heavily
against her and it was evident that
something had happened. Hurriedly
driving home, which was reached at
about four O'clock Mr.. Rosenberg,
with very little assistance was en-
abled to walk into the house.
DR.. d. T. Jones and DR.. Joseph
Smith, who had been called, arrived
in few moments and they pro-
nounced it a stroke Of apoplexy. Mr..
Rosenberg revived little under the
influence of the medicine
given him and seemed partially
conscious at brief intervals. This
condition lasted only short time
when he grew worse and passed away
at half past eight O'Clock, surrounded
by his family and relatives in this
city.
There have been only few times
in the history of our city when death
has invaded its precincts and so sud-
denly taken away a man of such
not only as physician,
but as man among men; as friend
and neighbor. There are but few
homes in Wausau, whether they be of
the rich or the poor, over whose
he had not stepped, in
following his life Notwithstanding
to the sick, and his great knowledge
of and success in medicine and his
genial disposition, always made him a
welcome visitor and to all such his
loss is doubly deplored, and through
out the city there is greatsorrow over
the death of this excellent man, for
wherever one may go there are ex-
pressions Of grief most profound.
A resident of sixteen years in Wau-
sau, following the practice of medi-
cine; his ability as physician and a
man of the world had made him
widely known. He came here on the
of his brother, DIR. A. ].
who had been in Wausau
for many years and who desired to
retire from active practice. He took
up and continued the work started by
his brother and in all things under
taken he touched the goal of success.
DR.. Rosenberg was man who in
variably found time in his practice to
take hand in things which he be-
lieved was for the common good OF
our people. 1t has often been said
that there is more jealousy among
doctors than is found in any other
but if all doctors were like
he this remark would have an I'M
truthful meaning. In conversation
with him at one time on professional
matters he voluntarily brought this
up and gave US to understand
that he deplored this feeling in the
ranks. Actuated by a desire to ed
ucate the public in the matter OF
taking precautionary measures to-
ward safeguarding the health of the
community, and to give his brother
physicians lesson for their mutual
benefit, he was largely instrumental
in getting DR.. j. n. Mccormack,
secretary of the American Medical
association, here in November, 1909
The latter spoke of this feeling, anC
we believe did much to obliterate il
locally.
Some years ago, when this city wa:
smallpox ridden, DR.. Rosenberg pre-
sented plan before the city council
for lessening a spread of the disease
and for an inspection of the dairies
supplying milk to patrons in the city
The council turned down the plan
we are sorry TO say, but professional
men have always since believed tina
had it been adopted, contagious dis
.ases would not have become epidem
ic. AT times he was asked to Civ
lectures before our school children. OF
matters pertaining TO their health
and he always cheerfully responded.
