Dr. J. E. Barnstein, Widely Known Physician, Summoned
Manitowoc, Wis. -- Dr. J. E. Barnstein, one of the prominent member of the Manitowoc county medical profession passed away at his home early Monday morning. He had practiced medicine in Manitowoc for 50 years, and would have been 90 years of age in October of this year.
When he retired a few weeks ago Dr. Barnstein was the oldest practicing physician in the county and one of the oldest in Wisconsin.
Dr. Barnstein was born at Newton in 1852, only child of Dietrich and Lisette Barnstein. He received his early education from the Mission House college, Franklin, Sheboygan county in 1875.
He taught school in Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties and in the city of Manitowoc. After several years of teaching he turned his attention to medicine, registering as a pharmacist and establishing a drug store at Washington and South Tenth streets in 1883. Continuing his medical career Dr. Barnstein received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1896. He was graduated from the medical school of Marquette University, Milwaukee, with the highest honors.
After several years of general practice he took post graduate work in Chicago, graduating as a specialist of eye, ear, nose and throat in 1903, since which time he was engaged in practice here.
Dr. Barnstein, despite his practice, found time to follow a hobby -- astronomy. For years he made careful studies of the major planets. Students studying astronomy often went to Dr. Barnstein for information.
In 1878 Dr. Barnstein married Miss Minnie Beste of Sheboygan. Nine children were born of whom Dr. Charles Barnstein, Miss Lydia Barnstein and two sons who died in childhood preceded him in death. Mrs. Barnstein died in 1931.
Dr. Barnstein never aspired to public office but was active in church circles. He served several years as treasurer of the First Reformed church and was superintendent of the Sunday school for a number of years.
He is survived by a son, Fred W. Barnstein, an optometrist, of Manitowoc, four daughters, Mrs. Edward Pasewalk of Manitowoc, Mrs. William Altman of Sheboygan, Mrs. Henry Zenk of Eureka, South Dakota, Mrs. Arthur Achtemeier of Monticello, Wisconsin; a sister-in-law, Miss Louise Beste, who has always made her home with the family; 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
The oldest grandson, Dr. Norman J.Barnstein, is following the profession of his grandfather and father. He is connected with the Jackson Clinic at Madison.
