Palmer Fales Gives Details OF Edwin
r. Spencer's Death

In letter to Thomas A. Welch
received by him Monday, from Palmer
Fales, = now residing in Portland,
Oregon, the writer says concerning the
death OF Edwin r. Spencer:
Except for short time Saturday
night, Florence and myself were with
him at the hospital continuously from
Saturday evening TO the time of his
death. 1t seems that Mr.. Spencer first
felt badly at San Francisco, Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning. He did
not call a physician at the hotel, how
ever, as he was assured by the hotel
people that he would find one upon the
boat. He took boat for Portland
some time Wednesday afternoon or
evening. He did not find physician
on the boat; neither did he appreciate
the seriousness of his condition.
He arrived here late Friday night
and went directly TO the hotel. He
coughed pretty badly all Friday night
and went TO see the doctor Saturday
afternoon. saying that he had pretty
bad cold and cough and wanted some
medicine to relieve it, The doctor inn
mediately recognized his condition and
took him at once TO the Good Samar-
itan Hospital, where he arrived at four
o'clock.
AS was away from the office, they
had some difficulty in getting into
communication with me. Their tel
ephone messrge was the irst intima-
ton that Mr.. Spencer was i'm this part
OF the country. He stated to the
superintendent, before arrived at the
hospital, that he expected to proceed to
Seattle in day or two, where he
intended to visit his cousins, Mr.. and
Mrs. !. n. Just.
had a consultation of doctors called
as soon as l reached the hospital that
evening, which was about eight o'clock,
and also had special nurse called nj
once, and then wired full particulars to
his family, which | have continued to
do from that time until this morning.
The regular attending physician
remained in constant attendance all OF
Saturday night and from five O'Clock
Sunday night TO the end. We had two
consultations of doctors on Sunday and
four yesterday, the last being mt about
nine o'clock last night. A second
special nurse was called early Sunday
morning, and we had two of the very
best nurses in Portland, one of whom
was in constant attendance and work
