  RUSH WINSLOW, M. D., deceased. After many years of useful faithful service to the people of Appleton, Wisconsin, Dr. Rush Winslow, whose reputation as a physician, public-spirited citizen and conscientious city and county official, extended over the entire county, passed away December 27, 1902. Dr. Winslow was born November 7, 1843, in Koshkonong, Wisconsin, and was a representative of an old and honored family which traces its ancestry back to Kenelm Winslow of Kempsey, England. He was the owner of the estates of "Clerkenleap" and "Newport Place," and his will, dated April 16, 1507, is still to be seen in the district registry at Worcester. He married Catherine, and their son, Edward Winslow, of Droitwich, Worcestershire, had nine children. Five of these, Edward, John, Kenelm, Gilbert and Josiah, came to the American Colonies, settling in New England, and there Edward became Governor of Plymouth Colony. The third son, Kenelm, born April 29, 1599, died September 13, 1672, at Salem, Massachusetts, and a part of his estate in Freetown, Massachusetts, is still owned by a descendant. He married Eleanor Adams who died in 1681, at the age of eighty-three years, leaving four children, Kenelm, Eleanor, Nathaniel and Job. Colonel Keneln, born in 1635 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, died in 1715 in Harwich, Massachusetts. On September 23, 1667, he married Mercy Warden, who died in September, 1688, at the age of forty-eight years, according to the gravestone still standing in the Winslow burying ground in Dennis, Massachusetts. His second wife, Damaris, survived him. He was the father of eleven children, of whom Samuel was the father of Thomas, who was the father of Samuel, who was the great-grandfather of Dr. Rush Winslow. Dr. Joseph Winslow, grandfather of Dr. Rush Winslow, was born July 22, 1778, in Petersham, Massachusetts, practiced his profession in Windsor, Vermont, and died October 20, 1815. He married Rebecca Fish of Barnard, Vermont, and they had five children. Their third son, Joseph, born February 25, 1810, was the father of Dr. Rush Winslow. Dr. Joseph Winslow II. practiced medicine at Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, was a member of the Wisconsin State Legislature, and died in January, 1883. He was married August 20, 1840, to Sarah Bingham of Palmyra, Pennsylvania, daughter of Rudolphus and Sallie (Kimball) Bingham. She died May 9, 1846, in Koshkonong, Wisconsin, leaving one son, Rush, born November 7, 1843. Rush Winslow secured his early education in the public schools of Fort Atkinson and, after trying a business career, began the study of medicine in the office of his father. After graduating from Hahnemann and the Rush Medical Colleges at Chicago, he entered Bellevue College, New York, in 1870, receiving from that institution also the degree of M. D. He began active practice with his father in Fort Atkinson, but in 1873 located in Appleton and soon became one of the leading professional men of his city. Dr. Winslow was the type of physician that is rare in these days of commercialism--one whose thought for himself came second to his thought for those under his care. No call was too slight; no case was too insignificant; no patient too humble to secure his conscientious service. He labored along the lines that have made men honored in his profession, keeping himself abreast of the most advanced research of the day, by constant study. It was his hope that physicians might be more and more set free from the administering of drugs and devote themselves chiefly to the prevention of disease. Dr. Winslow's second aim was to be a good citizen, and he believed that every man owed public service to his community. He was alderman for two years and in 1887 was elected mayor, serving in that capacity four terms, the time of his last election being the only instance of the republicans nominating a candidate to oppose him. He was a member of the board of visitors to the State University, elected by the State at large; was appointed a member of the State Board of Pension Examiners in 1893; was a delegate to the noted National Convention at Chicago that nominated Grover Cleveland for the Presidency; and was chairman of the Congressional Committee and a member of the State Central Committee. He was one of those who labored to establish St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and as long as he lived was president of its staff. Although his professional and public work claimed most of his attention, Dr. Winslow's judgment was valued in business circles also, and at the time of his death he was vice-president of the First National Bank. Esteemed by his co-laborers in the medical profession, honored by those who knew best his conscientious work as a public official, and beloved by those who came under his care, Dr. Winslow's death was felt by many as a personal bereavement, and lost to Appleton a faithful servant who could not be replaced.
