Although many of our citizens were
aware of the facts connected with the
illness of EDMOND A. BAIR, practic-
ing physician of Buffalo, where he
located and actively engaged in the
practice of his profession Immediately
after graduating from Buffalo Univer-
sity in 1897, few supposed his illness,
rupture of the bowels, was fatal. In
Feb. 1892 he underwent the first opera
tion, followed by another operation
last year, more serious than the first.
He continued to grow worse and al
though the best medical and surgical
talent of Buffalo was called his condi-
tion baffted their skill. Last week,
Tuesday, his disease assumed such a
dangerous stage that, as a last resort,
an operation was performed by DIR.
Eugene Smith, assisted by DR.. Hade,
but without avail, the suffering young
man passing away Saturday morning,
maintaining his faculties to the last
moment and with outstretched hands
passed over the river.
Miss Rosa Bair and Mrs Weisman
and Mr.. Frank Bair were with their
brother during his last illness. The
sad news of his death was a hard blow
to the devoted parents and sisters and
brothers who hoped for bright
future for this energetic young man.
Undertaken b. Egan went to Buff
falo on Saturday and accompanied the
remains to Emporium, prepared them
for burial and conveyed them to the
home of the grief-stricken family, Mr..
and Mrs Joshua Bair, on East Fifth
street, where scores of our citizens
called to pay their respects to the dead
and extend their sympathy to the
family.
