Thursday evening, December 14th, DR..
Henry James Woodville, AGED 48 years.
DR.. Woodville was born at Dusseldorf,
Germany, September, 1ith, 1915, at a
time when bic parents wore paying a
VISIT TO that country. He was the son OF
the late Richard Cation Woodville, and
Oldest grandson Of William Woodville,
Sr- deceased, who belonged 10 the wealth.
lest families Of Baltimore, Maryland.
Doctor Woodville's mother and only sis
ter survive him and are o residing
in Biarritz, France.
HE graduated from the Medical Univer-
sity Of Maryland, at Baltimore, in 1866.
Completing his education az far as pos
slble in this country, he went to Paris
and took a thorough course in chemistry
under DIR. Light, whose fame rs a chem
ist is world wide. He was in the Franco
Prussian war during the siege Of Paris
under the reign OF the commune, and
received the decoration Of the iron cross
for his services there, and served as sur
geon IN the Red Cross service in the
German army, and was also surgeon in
the Carlist war in Spain. Returning to
this country he rendered able services as
surgeon in the Belleview Hospital, New
York.
On December3lst 1878, Or. woodville
was married to Miss Julia Morris Brad
ley, in Santa Fe. Four beautiful chill
dren-three boys and one girl-were
born TO them, all of whom are living.
The doctor had been enjoying his usu-
al health, and on the night Of his death
was surrounded by his happy little fam
lily, unconscious that the angel Of death
was spreading its wings to bear away his
soul to that realm from which no travel
or returns. He retired for the night, but
a few minutes after IL o'clock he awak-
ened Mrs. Woodville with the complaint
that he felt nauseated and that his res.
piratlon was difficult. She Immediately
arose for the purpose Of administering
to him, but his condition became so
alarming that DIR. Wood was sent for,
who went with all possible haste to the
assistance Of his friend, but it was too
late. His death occurred at 11:45 o'clock
and at 3 p. M. Saturday, at the Catholic
church, the last sad rites were performed
upon the remains Of a loving husband
and kind father who was consigned ito
his chamber in the silent balls Of death !"
Doctor WOodville came to Silver City
in the summer of 1878 and entered upon
the practice of his profession. Like all
thoroughly educated, highly cultured
and public spirited men, he was strong
in his convictions and tenacious in his
theories. His profession brought him
in contact with every phase Of life and
all conditions of men. His keen sense
Of honor and his great heart emInently
fitted him for his life work. HIS broad
charity was proverbial, and no matter
when or by whom his professional ser
vices we're needed, his response was
quick aud his assistance telling. One Of
his most agreeable duties was that Of
rendering his counsel and aid to those
who we're unable to remunerate him.
No man in Silver City will be more
missed among the social and pleasure
loving people. He was a %connoisseur with
but few equals and his judgment was
universally relied upon 10 all matters
where tact and taste we're needed. Al
receptions, banquets, and in amateur
theatricals he was always first. While
the doctor was Of a strong, positive char
acter, his heart was in the right place
and in his demise, the whole community
mourns in common with those who are
bereft of the loving, fostering a r Of
husband and father.
Ats called meeting of the Patience ope
ra company, at Morrill, Hall, last night
the following resolutions were pass
ed:

God, Master OF the Universe, to remov,
by death from our midst our esteemed

at his removal from his earthly life o.
