Excerpt from Henry Rosenberg, 1824-1893: To Commemorate the Gifts of Henry Rosenberg to Galveston Henry rosenberg came to Galveston, a Swiss boy of nineteen, with no money but with native ability. After fifty years of life in our city as a pi'ospcrous merchant and banker, an unpretentious and generous man, and a useful and public-spirited citizen, Mr. Rosenberg passed away in his sixty-ninth year in 1893, leaving by his will a very large part of his wealth for wisely chosen public purposes in Gal veston, the principal amount being the residuum for a free public library. The people of Galveston honor the memory of Mr. Rosenberg; they are proud of him as a good citizen, and are grateful of heart for his gifts and bequests. This has been shown by pub lic honors and tributes in the days following his de cease, by the annual celebration of rosenberg'day for many years, by the fine heroic bronze statue ac quired by popular subscription and placed in front of the Rosenberg Library in 1906, and by. The care our people take to impress their children and their children's children with respect and gratitude to Our Benefactor. The Rosenberg Library Board of Directors now deems it fitting to commemorate the public gifts and bequests of Henry Rosenberg by means Of this volume.
