The Late DIR. G gorge H. Hammond.

The Hartford Courd1ets Portland correspon-
dence says of the late DR.. Gee. h. Hammond, of
the Yale Medical school, class of 10
George H. Hammond, NJ. D., only son of
Dr. G. Hammond of Portland, CT, died
May 18th, in New York city, aged % years.
DIR. Hammond was a graduate of Wesleyan
University, class of III. After leaving the
university he began the study of medicine
and graduated at the Yale Medical school in
1879 and at the University Medical college,
New York city. in February, 1880. During
the following March he secured by competi-
tive examination position on the resident
staff of Bellevue hospital. Soon after, while
on duty in that institution, he
sustained an injury of the knee
Joint, which finally cost him his
life The medical board of the hospital, on
account of his sickness, gave him leave of
absence until able again to resume his duties.
In April last, when changes were made in the
staff of the hospital, DR. Hammond's position
among the new appointees, as determined by
examination, was first. The injury to the
knee resulted in Inflammation of the joint,
for the relief of which an operation was per-
formed Septic poisoning followed the op-
Grafton and terminated fatally in spite of the
best attendance and surgical skill. The fu-
neral services took place on Friday last. The
death of young Hammond is severe blow to
his parents, who have the entire sympathy of
the citizens of Portland and their friends ev
erywhere He was an excellent young man,
of irreproachable character, and had he lived
would have undoubtedly attained high rank
in his profession.
