Aged Berne Physician Called by Death
DR. AMOS REUSSER HAD SERVED COMMUNITY FOR FIFTY-FIVE YEARS
Berne, Ind. — Fifty-five years of devoted service as a practicing physician in his home community have come to a close for Dr. Amos Reusser, who passed away at his home here on July 9. Death came after a series of heart attacks, but he remained active until a few days before his passing.
Funeral services took place Sunday afternoon, July 13, at the First Mennonite church here, of which he was a member. Rev. Olin A. Krehbiel officiating assisted by Rev. Alfred Clauser. The services were widely attended by community residents, many of them former patients or people whom he had helped usher into the world.
Born near here in Monroe township on Dec. 21, 1869, he attended local schools and later the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College, graduating in 1897 and returning here in March of the same year to begin his practice. He was married to Clara Bixler, also of Berne, on Sept. 6, 1896.
Dr. Reusser’s long and faithful service to the community included the delivery of 4,316 babies a record equalled by few doctors in the state. In 1948 he was named “Family Doctor of the Year” by the Southern and Pan-American Homeopathic Congress.
He is survived by his wife, five daughters, 15 grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and one brother, Henry M. Reusser of Berne.
