Excerpt from Transactions of the American Surgical Association, 1883, Vol. 1Since our last meeting death has been busy in our ranks. Some of our best and most eminent members have dropped by the wayside, in the midst of their work and in the height of their usefulness. Their seats in this Association will no more be occupied by them. The list comprises the distinguished names of J. C. Hughes, of Keokuk, Iowa, W. Warren Greene, of Port land, Maine, Hugh W. Brock, of Morgantown, West Virginia, John T. Hodgen, of St. Louis, and James R. Wood, of New York. To these may be added that of H. Lenox Hodge, of Philadelphia, who died early last summer, deeply regretted wher ever he was known. The death of these men, all widely known and recognized as able teachers and practitioners, is a signal loss to the profession and to the country. I would respectfully sug gest that proper action be taken by the Association, expressive of our deep sorrow and of our warmest sympathy with the families of the deceased. The departure from among us Of so many of our most prominent members Within a few months of each other, at this early period of our organization, is a calamity Of no ordinary nature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
