IN MEMoRIAM.
ARCHIBALD INGRAM BARRON, NJ. D.
Only a few month since this Association was
called upon to announce with deep regret the
death of one of it's most valuable members, DR..
H. G. Jackson.
Again we approach the sad and solemn duty
of announcing and recording the death of an
other member-Dr. Archibald Ingram Bar
ron, whom we all loved, honored and admired.
Afflicted with a disease Of a chronic nature,
the cause and effect of which he we'll under
stood, his only dread of death was the diff
ficult respiration that might attend him in his
last moments.
Being persuaded that as his respitory organs
were not involved in his attliction, it was rea-
sonable to conclude that he would pass away
calmly. quietly and peaceably. Such was his
prayer through his long affliction, and those
who stood around his bed in that last solemn
moment, can surely testify to the bestowal OF
that prayer.
"His suffering ended with the day,
Yet lived he at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away
In statue-like repose.
"But when the sun in all its state
Illumed the eastern skies,
He passed through glory's morning gate
And walked in Paradise"
There blessed in heaven-born reunion with
the spirit of that noble lady, who was his joy
and comfort here on earth, they sat together
and basked in the sunlight of a brighter and
better world.
AS a man he possessed all those noble quail
ties of head and heart, so necessary to constitute
q good and useful citizen-an honest man, 1.-The
noblest work of God creation"
AS a colleague and member of this Assocla-
ton; his eminent fitness for the medical pro-
fession ; his warm attachment to and great in
terest in the object'of our organization, so Oh
ten manifested by his kind, amiable and cour-
teous manner towards each member of the
same, naturally impressed their minds with
the important medical truths based upon the
long, practical experience of his professional
life.
AS physician, earned withthe properimple-
ments of his Office" he was always prepared to
guard we'll against the enemy of his fellow
men, in the form of disease, and to apply the
remedies, which by close study and obserVa-
ton he had found most efficient in his hands
to attain the great object in view. Few men of
the medical profession, through a long course
of practice, under the most trying circum-
stances, could justly lay claim to more sue
cessful results than he could have done. So
closely were his thoughts and feelings in SYM
pathy with the profession OF his choice, SO at
tractive and interesting to him was the study of
the human organization, its physiological ard
pathological conditions, its liability to disease,
and the remedies for the same, that even in the
last days Of his life his thoughts and conversa-
ton on these subjects seemed to grow brighter
and brighter. AS a wounded soldier he lay
on his shield, and would not cease to medi-
tate on the field Of medical science, till eXpir-
ing nature announced the fultillment of his
thoughts and actions here ON earth. Therefore,
Rcs0tUed-
l. That in the death Of DR.. Archibald Ingrari
Barron, our community, county and State hav.
been afflicted with an irreparable loss, that OF
a useful citizen, a good and honest man, a
Christian gentleman.
2. That we the physicians of this county, and
members of the Medical and Surgical Associ-
alton of said county, do hereby. sincerely de-
plore the loss Of our colleague and fellow-mem-
Der, who by his medical skill and experience,
his uniform Kindness, g~entlemanly deport-
