Mohler—Men's Clothing All in all, there were thirty-five business establishments during the 'boom' years, but in 1916 the rails were extended to Grenora, a point fifty miles to the west. As the Railroad was responsible for the rise in growth of Wildrose it also was responsible for the termination of its rapid growth. PHYSICIANS The first doctor to locate here was Dr. Thorwalson. During the holidays of 1914-15 he, in company with two other men of Wildrose, went to Minneapolis for a pleasure trip. Dr. Thorwalson had planned on going on to Iowa, but was stricken with a heart attack, and passed away. Dr. F. V. Lyman arrived next to serve the Wildrose Community. An ad in March, 1915 lists Dr. Lyman and Dr. Claybaugh as partners. Dr. Claybaugh sold out to Dr. Lyman, who continued to practice until he left in 1919. It was not uncommon for him, knowing in advance that he would receive no pay, to make a long drive over bad roads in inclement weather to relieve a suffering patient, or possibly save a life. He never shirked his duties as a citizen, or failed to help a friend. Mrs. Wicklund lives in San Diego, with daughter Audrey. Louise is married and lives in Washington. Elaine, also married, lives in Kansas City. The son, Ren, lives in San Diego. Dr. Sarheim During this time, Wildrose was fortunate to also have Dr. Sarheim. He advertised that 'Norsk was spoken' so it is evident that he had a large Norwegian clientele. One of the finest doctors and citizens to come to Wildrose was Dr. C. A. Wicklund. He and his family came from Powers Lake in 1919 and lived here fourteen years. In making a country call one day, he suffered a car accident, so retired in 1933 and moved to Castle Rock, Wash.
