 Obituary

Oldest Alumnus of U. Of Md.
Who Died At Age Of 93

DR. JOHN J.R. KROZER
Dr. John J.R.Krozer, oldest living graduate of the University of Maryland and one of the oldest physicians in the city, died at his home, 662 West Lexington street, at 2.30 o’clock yesterday morning. He was 93 years old. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia, with the shock of a fall in his room three weeks ago.

Dr. Krozer’s slender figure and snowy beard were familiar to hundreds of residents of West Baltimore, among whom he had practiced for about 64 years. He took great pride in the fact that he had brought more than 3,000 children into the world in the course of his active practice, which ceased five years ago. After that time he continued to see a few patients at the office in his Lexington street home, in which he had lived ever since taking up his profession in Baltimore, until ill health compelled him to give up his work two years ago, although his faculties were still unimpaired.

Born in Elizabeth City, N.C., Dr. Krozer came to Baltimore when a young man. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1848. He commenced practicing here after four years in the Naval Hospital at Portsmouth. At the time of his death he had been a widower for 40 years.

Dr. Krozer is survived by a son, James W. Krozer, of Delight, Baltimore County; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Kingman, of Norfolk county, Virginia, who is 97 years of age, and Mrs. M. J. Grove, of Lime Kiln, Md.; two grandchildren and 13 great-grand-children.

Funeral services will be conducted at the home by the Rev. Peregrine Wroth at 11 o’clock tomorrow. Interment, which will be private, will be in Baltimore Cemetery.
