UEBELACKER, Armin, M. D.,
Physician.

  Among those whose professional reputation was exceptional in Morristown, New
Jersey, was the late Dr. Armin Uebelacker, a distinguished physician of German
birth, whose justly merited position in professional and social circles was due
to his remarkable talents and the success with which he met in his chosen
career. A close student of human nature, as well as of the technicalities of his
profession, he applied the knowledge which he thus acquired with singular
felicity, and with the result that there was no more popular or progressive
practitioner in the town. Courteous and kindly in manner, quiet and
self-contained, he inspired confidence in those whom he would heal; and he was
welcomed wherever he went, not only as the mitigator of bodily ills, but as a
true friend and counsellor.

  Dr. Armjn Uebelacker, son of John George and Catherine (Wehner) Uebelacker,
was born in Voelkershausen, Bavaria, Germany, April 8, 1831, and died at his
home in Morristown, New Jersey, February 6, 1914. After the necessary
preparation in elementary schools he became a student at the gymnasium
(corresponding to our high school), in Schweinfurth, Bavaria, and from there
went to the university at Erlangen, from which he was graduated with honor. His
musical education as a pianist was a most thorough one, and for a short time he
studied medicine. He then decided that America offered better opportunities for
advancement, for a progressive and energetic physician, and determined to finish
his medical studies in this country. He accordingly came to the United States in
1851, and for a time made use of his musical proficiency, and gave instruction
in this art. Again turning to the medical profession, he took up his studies in
this field at the Homoeopathic College of the City of New York, from which he
was graduated in the class of 1871, after a three years' course. He at once
established himself in the practice of his profession at Schooleys mountain, New
Jersey, but after a short time, removed to Morristown, with which he was
identified from that time. He became one of the best known and most highly
respected physicians of that section, and his friends were legion. Not only was
he honored and respected by his patients, but by the business men of his chosen
city. He never made a specialty of any particular branch of the healing art, but
his love for children was such an integral part of his being that he seemed
especially fitted to take care of them and their ailments. He was a member of
the State Homoeopathic Society, of which he served, at various times, as
president; he was a charter member of the State Board of New Jersey Medical
Examiners, had served as president, secretary and treasurer, and at the time of
his death was the incumbent of the last-named office. He took an active interest
in the public affairs of the community, and was ever ready to lend his hearty
cooperation to furthering any plan which tended toward the betterment or
development of the community. He was devoted to his profession, and when engaged
on any case, his mind was filled with that to the exclusion of all thought on
trivial subjects. He was a devout member of the First Presbyterian Church of
Morristown, and a liberal contributor to its support.

  Dr. Uebelacker married, June 14, 1859, Mary C. Miller, still residing in
Morris-town, and a daughter of the Rev. George B. Miller, D. D., and Delia
(Snyder) Miller, and a descendant of a family of distinction among the
Huguenots. There were four children of this marriage, of whom there is now
living one son: Charles F., an electrical, civil and mechanical engineer, who
was graduated from Princeton University in the class of 1889. He is a member of
the firm of Ford, Bacon & Davis, of New York City, while his home is in
Hackensack, New Jersey. He married Adele Adams, of Cleveland, Ohio, and they
have sons: Armin Adams and David Adams. Rev. George B. Miller, father of Mrs.
Uebelacker, was a lifelong minister of the Lutheran church. He was professor of
theology at Hartwick Seminary for forty years, at the same time continuing to
preach in the Lutheran church. When Dr. Uebelacker died, the State Board of
Medical Examiners passed resolutions as follows:

  Humbly bowing to the will of Divine Providence to give expression to our deep
sorrow over the death of our friend and companion, Armin Uebelacker, M. D., who
died on the Sixth day of February, 1914, we mourn him as a genial friend, and
companion, a man of high and honorable instincts, of the most estimable
character, of a sunny nature that made his presence always a pleasure, as a
leading spirit in all our associations and gatherings, and as one whose conduct
and example were for all that was honorable and good. His long and busy life was
one of charity and unselfishness. Mere words cannot express our sorrow over the
loss of such a friend and companion, but in this inadequate manner we desire to
place our feelings on record. In deepest sorrow over the loss of one whose
memory will ever remain with us.
(Signed)                               THE COMMITTEE.
