DR. ROCHESTER DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Local Medical Authority Ends His Distinguished Career at 70 Years.
May 21
After a long and distinguished career as physician and teacher of medicine, Dr. Delancey Rochester, 70, died in his home, 54 Ashland avenue, Tuesday afternoon. He had served as interne, attending and consulting physician at the General hospital from 1884 until his death. He had been ill for a few days.
Dr. Rochester was born in Buffalo Feb. 4, 1859, the son of Thomas F. Rochester and Mrs. Margaret Munro (DeLancey) Rochester. His father, who was born in the city of Rochester, so named after the great grandfather of Thomas F., also was a practicing physician in this city. He died May 24, 1887.
Studied in Germany.
Gaining his preparatory education in Heathcote school here, Dr. Rochester attended Harvard university, graduating in the class of 1881; the Medical School of the University of Buffalo, graduating with the class of 1884, and later studied his profession in Berlin, Germany.
Upon his return to this city, Dr. Rochester was interne in the Buffalo General hospital 1884-85. He was attending physician at Buffalo General, 1912-24, and consulting physician at the same institution at the time of his death. He served in one capacity or another on the staff of the hospital for more than 40 years.
Veterans’ Physician.
Dr. Rochester was appointed consulting physician at Marine hospital about 1900 and held that position until his death. Appointed consulting medical specialist by the U.S. Veterans’ bureau in August, 1919. Dr. Rochester likewise held that position when he died.
His only public office was served as post mortem examiner for Erie county in 1887.
He was one of the founders of the University club, but remained a member only four years. One of the founders of the Buffalo Academy of Medicine, Dr. Rochester was the first president of that organization. He was also a member of the Thursday club, the Saturn club and the Medical Club.
In Medical Societies.
In addition to these, he was the first president of the Eighth District branch of the Medical Society of the State of New York, a member of the Erie County Medical society, the Medical Society of the State of New York, the American Medical association, the American Cilmatological and Clinical association, and the Association for the Study of Internal Secretions.
Since 1887, Dr. Rochester had been connected in one position or another with the faculty of the medical department of the University of Buffalo. He advanced gradually from one position to another until he was made a
Professor of Medicine.
He received his bachelor of arts degree at Harvard, and his doctor of medicine degree at the University of Buffalo. All his life he had attended Trinity Protestant Episcopal church.
Dr. Rochester has made a specialty of general internal diseases, upon which he was considered an expert. He contributed extensively to medical journals, his writing chiefly having to do with discussions of diseases of the lungs and heart. He carried this work forward at the medical school of the University of Buffalo where he was associate professor of principle and practice of medicine.
At Northampton, Mass., on June 28, 1887, Dr. Rochester was married to Miss Mary Lathrop, the daughter of John P. P. Lathrop and Anna Buell Sedwick. There were five children, of whom four are living. They are Miss Anna P. Rochester, Mrs. Frank Aber of Baltimore, DeLancey Rochester Jr., and John Lathrop Rochester.
The funeral will take place at Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Delaware avenue Friday at 4 P. M. No burial arrangements have been made.
