Slimmer, Abraham - In the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald of Aug. 16, 1917, was reported the death, the night before, in that city, of Abraham Slimmer, philanthropist, a gentleman who had a number of friends in Clarinda who respected him highly. His death was due to ptomaine poisoning. He was nearly 82 years old. He was born at Aberstitzko, Germany, Sept. 14, 1833. He came to the United States when he was 15 years of age, settled in Arkansas, remained there until the outbreak of the Civil war when he removed to Waverly, la., where he lived for forty years and accumulated great wealth in the cattle and banking business. The last twelve years of his life were spent in Dubuque. While the extent of his gifts is not known accurately, The Telegraph-Herald says it is believed that they have reached a total of nearly $2,000,000. His donations went largely to homes and hospitals for the care of old folks, aged Jews, and needy people of different kinds. He founded one hospital in Chicago, in which it is estimated that approximately 20,000 infants have been cared for at birth. Among endowments made by him were those for the Old Folks Home, Cedar Rapids; a non-sectarian home for aged, Des Moines, and a non-sectarian hospital in Omaha. He endowed Finley hospital at Dubuque for $75,000. The Telegraph-Herald says that it was at Waverly where Mr. Slimmer "started his great philanthropical activities, donating his home there and fitting it up as a hospital."
