ROSENBERG, Samuel, Medford (Oregon) Sun, Tuesday, 3 Oct 1916 -
Samuel Rosenberg, owner of the Bear Creek orchards, and one of
the best known orchardists of the valley, died at Sacred Heart
hospital Sunday afternoon, October 1, after a brief illness, of
pneumonia, aged 56 years. His remains will be shipped to Seattle
for burial.

Mr. Rosenberg was born in 1861 at New Haven, Conn., but for many
years made his home at Seattle, where he successfully conducted
various business enterprises, amassing a comfortable fortune. He
owned a large clothing store, the Hotel Sorrento and several
business blocks. Upon his retirement from an active business
career, five years ago, he purchased the Bear Creek orchards,
comprising 200 acres of choice fruit groves near Medford, and
since then has spent his summers in Medford and his winters at
Seattle.

Mr. Rosenberg was one of the most progressive citizens of the
valley, and his loss is deeply regretted by the community. He was
one of the first to champion irrigation and other public moves
and his loss is a public one. He leaves, besides his widow, two
sons, David and Harry, who are engaged in farming on Rogue river.
