Dr. Maurice I Rosenthal

Doctor Rosenthal has succeeded his father as the surgeon to the Saint Joseph Hospital in Fort Wayne, one of the noble institutions of this city whose hospital ranks among the best in the middle west. Doctor Rosenthal was born in Fort Wayne on April 9, 1869, son of Doctor Isaac M. and Adele (Rauh) Rosenthal, the names of both of whom are held in lasting honor in Allen county. Doctor Isaac M. Rosenthal is the subject of a biographical essay in another portion of this work. Doctor Maurice I. Rosenthal attended the public schools in Fort Wayne until he completed the curriculum of the high school and then entered the Ohio Medical College, medical department of the Cin- cinnati university, from which institution he graduated in 1889. Immediately after his graduation at Cincinnati he went to Europe, where he further pursued his studies at the University of Berlin and the University of Strasburg, in Germany, and at the University of Prague, in Bohemia. In 1892 the doctor returned to the United States and for the ensuing decade was engaged in active general practice in Fort Wayne. Since the expiration of that period he has specialized in surgery and his success has amply justified his concentration of effort in this department of professional service. In 1902 he again visited the European schools of medicine, taking special studies in Berne, Switzerland, and in Vienna, Austria. Doctor Rosenthal has furnished a number of contributions to medical literature. He is a member of the American Medical Associa- tion, the Mississippi Valley Medical Association, the Tri-State Medical Society, the Indiana State Medical Society, and the Allen County Medical Society, besides which he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Association of Gynecologysts and Obstetricians. He is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and an active member of the Commercial Club, the Country Club and the University club.
