Obituary.

DR.. Eugene S. Judkins, son Of DR..
Robert and Anna B. Judkins, was born
Sept. 8, ls45, and his Spirit winged its
way to the great beyond on the morn.
ing Of June 8, 1911. When the peaceful
end came he was surrounded by his
bereaved wife and son and near rela-
tives. No one ever had more constant
loving care, nor more skilled attention,
but all In vain. No one ever appreci-
ated such care and attention more
than he did, always thanking this one
and that one for any thing their loving
hands and hearts did for him.
His early life was not of special
interest until he began the study of
his chosen profession. His father be-
ing physician and his uncle, Jesse
Judkins, noted physician Of Cincin-
natl and the first dean of the old
Miami Medical College, it was but
natural that he should be physician.
He could not have been anything else
If he had tried. After completing his
course of study he graduated from old
Miami and entered upon his beloved
profession with great zeal and high
degree Of proficiency that marked his
whole career and added many laurels
to his brow. His ability as diagnos.
tician was unexcelled, and was a SUBJ
ject of much favorable comment among
the many physicians with whom he
was so often called in consultation.
He loved his profession and was
always ready to 60 through sunshine
or storm to any home to attend the
sick. No matter whether 1t was a
palace, humble home or hovel, II
afforded him the same pleasure to go
and do what his strong brain, his
superior knowledge and his skillful
hand could do TO alleviate the pain
and suffering of the patient TO whose
bedside he was called. The needs and
sufferings of humanity in its broadest
sense claimed and received his atten-
tion, and felt the influence Of his kind
advice and helping hand. His friends
and neighbors land they we're all his
friends) came to him for advice and
comfort in times of sickness, grief and
sorrow, and he was never found want
ing, but gave helpful, sympathetic
interest to each and every one. His
bril Int, smiling face and cheerful
conversation brought sunshine and
hope into many afflicted homes. 1t
was next to impossible to be despond-
ent in his presence. Interesting as 1t
would be to relate events and incidents
of his chosen life work, time will not
permit.
His fondest hope and deepest inter-
est was in his son, Robert, who had
chosen the same profession. He was
so anxious to live that he might see
him add laurels TO his brow In his
honored profession. He was always
deeply interested in the public schools
of his village He served for many
years as a member of the Board of
Education and was president of the
board at the time of his death. His

only second to his chosen profession.
He was devoted TO his Masonic lodge,
being member of long standing In
Leesburg Lodge No. 10, f, & A. M.
In proof of his patriotism, his love
of country and the flag, he was a sol
dler in the great struggle of 81 TO 65.
He was loyal, patriotic, American
citizen.
The body was brought TO the home
ofO. b. Savage, at Wilmington, Thurs
day, June 8, where short service was
held by Rev. @. L. Conger, after which
he was followed TO his last resting
place by large number of the Masonic
Fraternity, where the impressive
burial rites OF the order we're observed.
