He was ad to all and his good works will .ive long after him, particularly in the memory of those who benefit- ed from his rare professional skill during times of sickness and suf- fering and who were helped over the dark places by his cheerful words and kindly manner. The doctor had bgen in his usualy health, apparently, until a couple of weeks ago, when symptoms oc- curred of internal trouble which necessitated an operation. He was taken to the KMugslon General Hos- pital where he was successfully op- erated upon on: Friday and was do- ing well until Saturday morning when pneumonia set in, which was the immediate cause of his death, on Monday morning, at 11.30 o'clock. | He retained consciousness until a few hours before. the end. He slept peacefully away. Sincere sympathy is extended by all to the | widow and family in thelr bereave- | ment.
