Milton Emanuel Leckrone
Dr. M. E. LECKRONE, well-known surgeon and owner of Woodlawn hospital this city passed away at 10:10 o'clock Monday morning at his lake home on the east side of Lake Manitou.
News of the death of Dr. Leckrone which was current throughout this community in a short time came as a most severe shock to a legion of friends. Dr. Leckrone suffered a light attack of influenza while he was on an outing at Ely, Minnesota a few weeks ago. Upon his return to Rochester the attack became more acute and last Wednesday he entered Woodlawn for special treatment. His condition apparently improved and on Friday of last week he returned to his home at the lake.
In an interview with the family today, it was learned that Dr. Leckrone arose this morning and was apparently in fair condition. He joked with members of the household and with his nurses, Miss Ada LEONARD and Mrs. Beth (CARR) KARN, members of the Woodlawn staff. The doctor was stricken a short time later with coronary embolism while entering the bathroom and according to Mrs. Leonard death was almost instantaneous.
Dr. Leckrone, who had been under most trying conditions during the past few years in acting as chief surgeon and owner-manager of Woodlawn was laying plans to take life a bit easier and negotiations were underway for the sale of the hospital to Fulton county. He planned to remain in Rochester for surgery work and was preparing to open a down-town office for his clientele throughout this section of the state.
Milton Emanuel LECKRONE was born in Kosciusko county, Ind., on June 16th, 1901, the son of Dr. Ira and Aletha LECKRONE. He graduated from Indiana University medical school and served his internship at City Hospital, Indianapolis. Later he served in the capacity of assistant superintendent at that hospital. Dr. Leckrone was united in marriage with Dorothy Irene HERD in a ceremony solemnized at Peru on Sept. 16th, 1923. He came to Rochester in July of 1928 from Cleveland, Ohio where he served his Fellowship at the Crile clinic, to assist in the operation of Woodlawn hospital which at that time was owned by Dr. H. O. SHAFER.
Following Dr. Shafer's death he purchased the hospital in 1933 and rebuilt a 22-room addition and thoroughly remodeled the remaining structure of the old building. This work was completed in January 1936. Dr. Leckrone was a member of Phi Beta Psi fraternity and was a 32nd degree Mason.
Surviving are his wife [Dorothy Irene LECKRONE]; two daughters, Betty Ann [LECKRONE], who is attending Stephens college, Columbia, Mo., Patricia Lou [LECKRONE], at home and his mother, Mrs. Aletha LECKRONE of Silver Lake, Ind. His father, Dr. Ira LECKRONE was killed in an auto-train crash near Silver Lake in 1936.
The body has been removed to the Zimmerman Brothers funeral home where friends may call to pay their respects. Semi-private services will be conducted later at the Leckrone lake home. More complete details will be announced in the Tuesday edition of The News-Sentinel.
