Rude, Vice President; Professor Nahum Slousch; Dr. C. D. Spivak, Secretary; Louis Robinson, chairman agricultural committee; H. H. Frumess, chairman auditing committee; Captain Philip Hillkowitz, JCRS president; S. F. Disraelly, burial committee chairman; David Gross, house committee chairman; Henry J. Schwartz, building committee chairman; Dr. O. M. Shere, medical committee chairman; and Dr. M. I. Marshak, superintendent. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish workingmen along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. It was located on West Colfax Avenue outside of Denver.
