Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1908 — Dr. A. L. Berkley is Prospering. [ARTICLE]

Dr. A. L. Berkley is Prospering.

Dr. Berkley started for his home in Portland, Oreg., yesterday, and expected when he reached Chicago, to be advised about the condition of. the health of his mother at Newman, 111. As stated before it was her health that called him from Portland, and he has been at Newman for the past four weeks. His mother is a victim of heart trouble and it is feared will never be any better than she is now. Before ooming to Rensselaer Dr. Berkley visited his tather-in law, T. J. McCoy, at the Michigan City penitentiary. He found Tom about well, so far as his broken leg was concerned, but that his right knee was so weak that he euuld scarcly bear any weight on it, and he was compelled to nse a crutch and a cane to assist him in walking. He is somewhat run down in weight but is well and very cheerful. When asked Where Tom expected to go when he was freed, Dr. Berk ley said he thought he would remain in Indiana, and intimated that he might live right here among his old associates. Dr. Berkley has established a lucrative medical practice at Portland, aud says his practice now is as paying as it was in Rensselaer before he moved away. They had the misfortune to lose a little baby born to them after their removal to Portland. The many old friends of of the doctor were glad to see him and to learn of his prosperity in his new home. -A
