"HARRY B. BERTOLETTE, M. D.
The present age is essentially utilitarian and the life of every successful man carries a lesson which, told in contemporary narrative, is productive of much good in shaping the destiny of others. There is, therefore, a due measure of satisfaction in presenting, even in brief resume, the life and achievements of such men, and in preparing the following history of the well known and successful physician whose name appears at the head of this sketch, it is with the hope that it may prove not only interesting and instructive, but also serve as an incentive to those who contemplate making the medical profession their life work, for it shows how a man, not especially favored by inherited wealth or encouraging environment, may forge to the front and not only succeed in the material things of this life but also be of inestimable service to his fellow men.
Dr. Harry B. Bertolette is a native of the community where he has elected to spend his life, believing that better opportunities were to be found right at his own door than in seeking uncertain fortune in some strange locality.
He was born at Shreve, Clinton township, Wayne county, Ohio, July 13, 1867, the son of William John and Catherine A. (Greenwalt) Bertolette, the father a native of Berks county, Pennsylvania, the mother having been born in Montgomery comity, Pennsylvania, each representing excellent old families, highly honored in their respective communities.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bertolette, named as follows : Frank, Edgar, and Harry B., of this review. Believing in giving their children every advantage possible, especially in the way of education, they placed Harry B. in the local schools as soon as he was old enough to attend and he proved to he a very ambitious student, making rapid progress, passing through the high school at Shreve at an early age, and, being desirous of gaining a higher text-book training, he entered the University of Wooster, where he made a good record, after which he began the study of medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, receiving his degree in 1892. In the same year he began practicing his profession at Shreve, which he has continued with increasing success, building up a very satisfactory practice with the town and surrounding community, having met with uninterrupted success and won the confidence and respect of all with whom he has come into contact. He has proved that he is well grounded in the science of medicine and is a man of excellent natural abilities required for success in the medical profession.
Politicallv the Doctor is a Republican, and he is a member of the board of pension commissioners, rendering very acceptable services on the same. Fraternallv, he belongs to the Masonic order, in which he has taken several degrees. Mrs. Bertolette is a member of the Presbyterian church.
Doctor Bertolette was married on May 4, 1892, to Jessie M. Carl, a daughter of Alexander and Anna ( Aylesworth) Carl, a highly respected and influential family of Clinton township. Dr. and Mrs. Bertolette are pleasant people to know and have hosts of friends throughout the county."
