DR. C. S. REIMESTAD
CALLED TO REWARD
_____
Well Known Physician of Brainerd
Meets Death as the Result of
an Accident
_____
SLIPPED ON KITCHEN FLOOR
_____
Produced Fracture at Base of Skull
Which Developed Into Blood
Clot on the Brain
Death came to Dr. C. S. Reimestad, well known practicing physician of Brainerd, as the result of an accident deemed trivial at the time. He passed away at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
As told by Dr. R. A. Beise, one of the physicians called later in consultation, about six weeks ago Dr. Reimestad was making a call in the country and passed through a wet kitchen floor. He slipped and struck the back of his head on a floor plank. He complained of a headche for a day or two and then went about his work and being of a strong, robust nature, kept on his feet.
Dr. Reimestad, said Dr. Beise, always abhored trivial complaints and never gave way to any slight indisposition. About a week ago, on the evening of August 23, he was nauseated and his wife wished him to call a doctor, but he said it was only a bilious spell.
On August 24 he took to his bed, but the symptoms did not appear alarming as he was only nauseated and complained of a headache. Not until Friday afternoon, August 26, did his condition arouse concern and his wife became alarmed and against Dr. Reimestad's wish she called Dr. Beise.
Dr. Beise saw immediately that something serious ailed him and took him to Northwestern hospital where a consultation of Drs. Nicholson, Ide, Courtney, Shillington and Beise was called. It was there discovered that Dr. Reimestad had a fracture at the base of the skull. Everything possible that medical science knew was done to save him.
On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. his condition appeared improved, but after that hour he became unconscious and gradually failed until he passed away at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
A postmortem examination revealed that the original diagnosis of fracture was correct and that it had caused a hemorrhage, resulting in a blood clot on the brain.
Born in Norway
Dr. Reimestad was born in Norway on June 26, 1867 and came to this country at an early age, taking his entire professional education in America. He graduated from the University of Minnesota and began the practice of medicine in Brainerd in 1896 after having served as attending physician at the State Soldiers Home. Dr. Reimestad had made for himself an outstanding position as a specialist in internal medicine. He was associated with the newly formed Northwestern Medical & Surgical Association, Inc. hospital staff as such a specialist.
In Brainerd he also served a period as health officer during the strenuous days of the dread influenza epidemic.
He endeared himself to the people of the city and county to such an extent that the general consensus of opinion is that his place as a doctor will be difficult to fill.
The doctor was highly respected by the medical profession and was regarded as an authority in his line. He was a member of the Upper Mississippi Valley Medical Association, the State Medical Association and the American National Medical Association.
Belonged to Many Fraternities
The doctor was a member of many fraternities. He belonged to the Masons, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Independent Order of Foresters, the Scandinavian American Fraternity.
Relatives Surviving
He leaves a wife and three children, Sarah, Clarence and Clement. A brother, George Reimestad, is assistant attorney general of North Dakota and lives at Bismarck, N. D. A sister died recently and a brother, Theodore, a famous singer, passed away about a year ago.
Funeral on Tuesday
On account of the First Congregational church being closed for renovation, the funeral service will be held at the First Methodist church. The Rev. Phil Sheridan, D. D., of Faribault formerly the pastor of the Reimestad family, will officiate.
The remains will be taken to the church at 11 o'clock on Tuesday and will lie in state until 2 o'clock, the hour of the service.
Pallbearers
The active pallbearers will be Charles D. Johnson, John Carlson, A. G. Trommald, Mons Mahlum, Ben S. Armstrong and R. J. Hartley.
The medical profession will act as honorary pallbearers. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 29 August 1921, p. 5, c's. 1 & 2)
IN MEMORIAM
_____
Men while they live are subject to the appraisal of their fellows. When death supersedes life that estimate finds form.
Perhaps such a view is truest when it comes from those who know best the character and works of him whose life is done
The unwarned passing of Doctor C. S. Reimestad leaves a void in the professional life of this community. He was skilled in the science of medicine; he was devoted to its practice. He had been a co-worker in the upbuilding of what he had conceived to be a means for the expression of his talents to the end of the greatest good.
We join with all those to whom he was known in a humble recognition of loss and of sorrow.
