Heart Attack Fatal to Local Contractor, 60 – H. Coty Rosenblath Dies; Auto Crashes Into Church Steps
A prominent Shreveport electrical contractor died of a heart attack at the wheel of his car at 1:50 p.m. yesterday. The auto crashed into the steps of the First Methodist Church at Texas and Common Streets after its driver suffered the attack.
Henry Coty Rosenblath, 60, was rushed to Doctors' Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. He resided at 174 Atlantic Ave.
According to witnesses, Mr. Rosenblath's car was travelling west on Texas Street and passed through the intersection with the driver slumped over in the seat. It went on to crash into the front steps of the church where an 83-year-old Negro man, Boss Harris, was sitting.
Harris received a laceration and bruises of the right leg in the accident, but was not seriously hurt, attendants at Confederate Memorial Hospital said.
Mr. Rosenblath was born in Shreveport Feb. 14, 1900 and attended St. John's High School in his youth. He was the owner of the Coty Rosenblath Electrical Co., at 216 Texas.
Upon graduation from college he spent some time in the insurance business before taking up the electrical business in 1930.
He was the brother of the late prominent realtor, Carl Rosenblath, who died in April while testifying in a civil case in Caddo Parish District Court.
Mr. Rosenblath was graduated from the St. Stanislaus Prep School in Bay St. Louis, Miss., and attended Loyola and Centenary Colleges. He was well known for his football prowess during his college days from 1918 to 1922. He was captain of the Centenary eleven in 1922.
He was a member of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church, the Elks Club, Optimist Club, Knights of Columbus, and the American Legion 40 & 8.
Survivors include his widow, the former Anna Mae Stanton; two sons, M. Stanton Rosenblath and Henry Coty Rosenblath Jr., both of Shreveport; two brothers, Quinlan T. Rosenblath and Philip F. Rosenblath, both of Shreveport; four sisters, Mrs. M. G. LaPorte of Baltimore, Md., Sister Mary Esther, R.S.M., of Biloxi, Miss., Mrs. Donald Kennedy of New Orleans, and Mrs. Louis Driggers of Tyler, Texas.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, and burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Wednesday night at 7:30 a rosary will be recited in the Osborn Funeral Home chapel.
