and Built Up Lucrative
Medical Practice.

Sandstone, although not unexpected,
came as a shock to citizens all over
the county. Death occurred Saturday
morning at the Northwestern hospital
in Minneapolis, and the funeral serv-

day.
Dr. Boiling had not been in the
best of health for the past four years
or more, and had been treated at the
hospital several times. He had never
submitted TO an operation before, but
this time it was found necessary to
do so, the operation being performed
on Dec. 13-just week before his
passing Ulcers of the stomach had
caused much pain, and at times the
doctor was in agony, but was OF the
type that stood the test and did not
complain. The appendix was removed
during the operation, but few days
later complications set in and this
caused his demise at 5 a. m. on Dec.
20, 1890

Practiced Il Years.
Dr. Bernard Stanton Boiling was
born in the state of Illinois, on Aug.
6. 1887, so was but little over 43
years of age at the time of his death
in the prime of life with experience
and in a position to do his most good.
After graduating from the North
western University medical school at
Evanston, ILL.,. in 1912, he spent one
year as an inferno in a hospital. and
came to Sandstone in November Of
1913. taking up local practice as
physician and surgeon. The doctor
gained the respect and confidence Of
his fellow citizens of the community,
his many patients here and there. and
folks in general for his definite ac-
tons his resoluteness. and his bust
ness methods. He was not a man of
many words, but what he did say car
ried weight. Many are the homes
out over Pine county that mourn his
loss and will miss his good counsel.
On Apr. 4. 1914. the doctor was
united in marriage to Miss Doris Barr
at Chicago and for nearly II years
most of the time since the doctor
came to the Quarry City-they have
had their residence here. Mrs. Bob
ling is the only immediate survivor.
there having been no children born
to this union. The doctor is sur
vived by several uncles in different
parts of the country.
The passing of Dr. Bohling-a man
of ability man who was popular
with his fellow men and with citizens
OF all types because he was of demo-
cratic makeup. always himself-is a
distinct loss to the community of
Sandstone and to Pine county as a
whole The sympathy OF friends far
and near is extended to Mrs. Boiling
