After four years he moved to Belle Fourche, their only child Dorthy was born in 1917 in Belle Fourche , he was there when in 1918 he was called to come to Rapid City to fight the influenza out break. At the height of the epidemic he saw as many as 100 patients a day, he stayed here until the fall of 1919. In 1919 they family moved to Nisland where he practiced medicine until 1937 when he retired and came back to Rapid City. He died at his home at 912 West Blv, he had been in ill health for many years.
He was survived by his wife and his daugher Dorothy Keszler and one grandson. HIs wife lived until 1963 his daughter died in 1982.
Services were held at Campbell Funeral Home with the mimister of the Congregational Church in charge, graves site rites were conducted by the local American Legion post of which he was a member. (ok how and why?) It is not clear what "he was called to come to Rapid City" to fight the flu out break, was he in the National Guard or what?
