Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Addresses of Aaron Friedenwald, M.D
My father's life was not a long one. It did not attain the number of years which, according to the Psalmist, constitute a complete life. Nevertheless it was full and well-rounded. Its relations with that of the general community were many and intimate. So numerous and broad were my father's interests, that a large number learned to know him as a physician, as a teacher, as a public-spirited citizen, as a loyal son of Israel, as a man. Uniting his attach ments and allegiances, be fulfilled the many and varied obliga tions of a busy practitioner and teacher of medicine without neg leeting his duties to his family, to the community, and to his people; and in rendering full justice to all the demands thus made upon him, he still found time to satisfy the calls of friendship, of social intercourse, of charity, and of religion. His life was full and com plete because he used the abilities with which he was endowed to the fullest extent and to the highest and best purpose; undertaking much, and finishing what he had undertaken; living in conformity with the highest principles, and ever guided by the most noble and exalted ideals.
Added interest is given to a life like my father's by the fact that whatever he accomplished, his position in the community and in the profession, was due to none but himself. The influences which surrounded him in his youth were not such as to lead the young man to seek the higher pursuits of a professional life. He had many a struggle, but the difficulties surmounted were the crucible in which a strong character was formed, a character in which there were developed and refined the noblest qualities of mind and heart and soul.
