DR.. Spahr Is to leave Lincoln in a few
days. He has disposed, or is about
to dispose Of his practice and for family
reasons will go back to his native
place. York, Penn DR.. Spahr came
here about seven years ago. and / I'M
derstand he achieved a very consider
able success as a specialist. He is an
enthusiast In his chosen field and has
devoted himself to his profession so as
siduously that his reputation as an
oculist and his practice extend beyond
the states borders. The doctor was
not a pronounced devotee Of society.
but he is popular and has many warm
friends among our best people" It's
too bad to see such men as Mr.. Faucon
and DIR. Spahr leaving Lincoln.
