_TAG3:

Jack's neighbor lady named Molly Johnson used to write a local news column for The Tri-County News in Osseo, Wisconsin. She took particular pleasure in teasing Jack or giving him a hard time by inserting tidbits about him in her column. Jack's future wife, Esther, lived on the farm adjoining his to the south. Esther wrote down what Molly wrote in her column along with the dates and inserted it in her scrapbook. 8 May 1941: "Say boys, if you are going out stepping and you don't want the neighbors to know, I tell you what you do. You just drive out of the yard and onto the main road a ways before you turn on your lights. Then they don't know; at least that's what someone thinks." 15 May 1941: "Jack Rosenthal is taking the Indians' advice when they said, 'Thou shalt go south.'" 24 May 1941: "It used to be, 'Mary had a little lamb.' Now it's Jack. Now if I have gone across the line into Timber Creek for any of my news, excuse me. Others that go across the line say they got a reason for it."

(Medical):The autopsy indicated that he had been suffering from a disease of the lungs (emphysema) for a number of years. In addition to the immediate cause of death (pneumonia), the examination also revealed that a number of small blood clots in the lungs (resulting from thrombophlebitis in the left leg) were an important contributing cause of death. In addition, the examination found that there was significant right ventricular hypertrophy associated with long-standing pulmonary emphysema; however, the coronary vessels in the myocardium were normal. About 20 small gallstones were found in the gall bladder but in no way contributed to his death. In his application for compensation or pension dated 13 Nov 1958, the nature of sicknesses, diseases or injuries for the claim listed the following: an asthma condition since 1955, heart condition since 1958, gallstones and ulcers since 1958, and a hearing condition since 1948. [A fall from a tree while cleaning up after a storm was probably the cause of the onset of the asthma condition known as emphysema].
