John Barnes Gerberich, age 79, entomologist, microbiologist, and Professor Emeritus of Biology and of Allied Health Professions at the
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, died 3 December 1995 in Sacred Heart Hospital, Eau Claire. At the University's Eau Claire campus he established the Division of Allied Health Professions (1969), serving as its director until 1981. He was also instrumental in the creation of the bachelor of science program in the School of Nursing. Among his more than 90 scientific publications, mostly on mosquitoes, were two books: Laboratory Manual for Medical Microbiology, with Robert C. Benassi (I960); and Bibliography of Papers Relating to the Control of Mosquitoes by the Use of Fish: An annotated bibliography for the years 1901-1966 (YAO Fisheries Technical Paper, Number 75. 1968). He joined The Ohio Academy of Science in 1944, affiliated with Section Zoology, and became a Life Member (1946). John Barnes Gerberich, born 21 April 1916 in Wooster, OH, was the son of John A. and Anna (Weimer) Gerberich. He received his secondary education in the public schools of Cuyahoga Falls, OH. He earned the BS in education (1939) and the MA in sociology (1941) at Kent State University (OH). Under the supervision of zoologist Carl E. Venarcl he earned the PhD in entomology (1951) from The Ohio State University. His Master's thesis entailed "A Study of the Consistency of Informant Responses to Questions in a Questionnaire," and his doctoral dissertation elucidated the "Transmission of Bacteria through the Metamorphosis of the Housefly and the Longevity of Such an Association." While completing his graduate studies, Gerberich gained extensive professional experiences: laboratory assistant. Department of Biology, Kent State University (1939-1942); graduate assistant (1942-1945) and instructor (1945-1946), Department of 7,oology and Entomology, The Ohio State LJniversity; instructor, Department of Biology, Michigan State College (now University) (1946-1947); and instructor (1947-1953) and insect control researcher (1953-1954), Department of Biology, University of Minnesota-Duluth. Joining the biology faculty. University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Dr. Gerberich advanced from assistant professor to professor (1954-1967). During his directorship of the Division of Allied Health Professions (1969-1981), he planned and implemented programs offering the bachelor's degree in health care administration and bachelor's and master's degrees in medical technology or environmental and public health. When he retired (1981), Dr. Gerberich was accorded the status of Professor Emeritus of Biology and of Allied Health Professions. Gerberich's research included biological control methods of insects, immature insects, and insect microbiology. When he was appointed as a consultant with the World Health Organization to conduct research on insect pathology and vector control (1965), he embarked on a project to collect worldwide publications from 1901-1968 on the control of mosquitoes by the use of fish. The bibliographical data of the project was entered in E'au Claire campus computers where scientists from around the world [can access] the retrieval of information. Dr. Gerberich also developed a system to count the mosquitoes in the north-central counties of Wisconsin. He held memberships in the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (Board Registry of Medical Technology), Entomological Society of America, Eau-Claire City-County Alcohol Referral Council, Fan Claire County Health Planning Council, Joint Educational Committee of State Sanitarians, West Central Wisconsin Health System Agency, Wisconsin Association of Medical Technologists (president, board director), Wisconsin Association of Milk and Food Sanitarians (president); Wisconsin Educational Congress on Aging (president, 1973), Wisconsin Public Health Association. He served as a section editor of the American Journal of Medical Technology. Among his honors was election to Sigma Xi. At the Eau-Claire campus, two scholarships in honor of Gerberich and his wife Mary were established: for juniors or seniors accepted for an internship in several areas of allied health and for seniors majoring in biology with an emphasis in entomology and invertebrates. John B. Gerberich was preceded in death by his wife Mary Louise (Bohnsak) Gerberich whom he married in 1918. He is survived by four children, John B. Gerberich, Jr. of Altoona, WI, Mary Dale of Eau-Claire. WI, Anne Marie Waddington of Omaha. NE, and Margaret Hudson of Eau-Claire, WI; and four grandchildren.
