Simon W. Rosendale

Simon Wolfe Rosendale (June 23, 1842 Albany, Albany County, New York - April 22, 1937 Albany, Albany County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician.

Life

He graduated from Barre Academy. Then he studied law at the office of Courtney & Cassidy in Albany. He was admitted to the bar in 1863, and became an assistant district attorney of Albany County. In 1868, he was elected Recorder of Albany, and held that office for four years. From 1878 to 1881, he was Corporation Counsel of Albany. In 1881 he formed a partnership with Rufus Wheeler Peckham, and after Peckham's election to the state bench, he continued his law practice with Albert Hessberg.

As a Democrat, he was New York State Attorney General from 1892 to 1893. In 1895, he published "The Involution of Wampum as Currency: the Story Told By the Colonial Ordinances of New Netherland, 1641-1662". Governor Theodore Roosevelt appointed him in 1899 Commissioner of the Board of Charities, a post he held for 18 years.

In 1919, he was one of 31 prominent Jews who signed an Anti-Zionist Memorandum given to President Woodrow Wilson, to be presented to the Versailles Peace Conference, stating their opinion against the foundation of a Jewish state in Palestine.

For ten years was president of the court of appeals of the Order of B'nai B'rith. He was for a number of years a member of the executive board of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. He was Chairman of the convention in Philadelphia in 1888, at which the Jewish Publication Society of America was organized, and was a vice-president of the American Jewish Historical Society.

He was President of the Board of Governors of Union College, President of the Board of Trustees of Albany Medical College, and Governor of the Albany City Hospital.
