Or. Garv'n Dead

DR.. Thomas Houston Garvin,
aged sixty-seven years. the mosi
', prominent citizen of Horse Cave,
died at his home in that place at
1915 o'clock Tuesday night. after
two weeks illness with heart
trouble.
DR.. Garvin was one of the best.
known men in this part Of Ken
lucky. having been for more
than thirty years a practieing
physician and standing at the
head Of his profession. He was q
Confederate soldier under Gen.
John H. Morgan and was cap
.ured in southern Ohio in 1868.
de was a prisoner at Camp
Douglass in Chicago, for eighteen
months. was exchanged and
erved until the final surrender
in 1865. He was at the battle Of
Shiloh and delighted in recount
ing his war experiences to his
host of admiring friends.
DR.. Garvin's medical studies
commenced under the direction
II DR.. Thomas Webster, Of
Ireensburg, and were continued
at the medical department of
the University of Louisville.
rom which he was graduated
4 1874. He was graduated from
}ellevue Medical College, of
iew York, in 1878. after which
re practiced his profession sue
essfully in this section. He was
III active worker in the county
..nd State medical societies and
3 well-known contributor to sew.
eral medical journals.
DR.. Garvin had been for a
lumber of years, a member Of
the Methodist Episcopal church
# Horse Cave. He was also iden-
ified with the Masons and
Knights of Honor. His charity,
tenderness and keen sense of
humor endeared him to all with
whom he came in contact and
made him a welcome visitor in
every sick room. No physician in
Kentucky enjoyed a larger prac-
ice, or was more beloved by his
patrons.
DR.. Garvin is survived by his
wife and three children, Mr.. E.
L. Garvin, of Estancia, N. NJ,
DR.. NJ. |. Gavin, of Tulsa, Okla,
and Mrs. Samuel Farris. Of

by Revs. Chandler and Goodson,
of the Methodist church in Horse
Cave, At the church, at two
o clock Thursday afternoon, af-
ter which the remains were
inferred in the cemetery at
Horse Cave.
AS a splendid physician and
christian gentleman of the high
est type, a model citizen and a
superb man, Dr.. Garvin had no
superior anywhere. He was, at
one time offered the superinten-
dency of the state insane asylum,
but declined it, preferring to de-
vote himself to the general prac-
tice of his profession. He was an
honor to the medical fraternity,
to the world and to himself, and
his place in the community in
which he lived and moved will
long remain untitled Glasgow
Times.
