KEGLER CANCER CLINIC. The clinic filed letters of incorporation in Dubuque on January 6, 1905. The capital stock of the company, named for "Dr." Christian Mathias KEGLER, was $30,000 and its stated objective was to acquire and carry on a business of treating cancer patients. (1) The firm leased the HAM HOUSE in 1905 to serve as a sanitarium.
Incorporators included G. A. Schenkowitz, G. W. Fowler, Robert HAY, John J. ROSHEK, F. C. Kegler, J. M. Glover, and John Homan. The board of directors included G. W. Fowler, G. A. Schenkowitz, J. J. Roshek, J. M. Glover, Christopher H. BERG, and C. W. Walton. (2)
Sarah Ham, in need of money at the time, later claimed to have been drugged at the time of signing the lease agreement. The failure of the Clinic led to financial losses for many Dubuque residents.
