SHARBOT LAKE LOSES A Good Physician in the Late Dr. Warren Kilborn. Sharbot Lake, Dec. 6.--The village and vicinity of Sharbot Lake was deeply grieved on learning of the | death of Dr. Warren Kilborn, who | passed very peacefully away at his home on the morning of Nov. 30th. | Dr: Kilborn had been ill for the past { eight months, and while he had been | confined to his bed was deeply in- terested in the welfare of others, and | was being constantly sought for help |and advice by patients to whom he | had been a beloved physician to many for forty years. The late doctor was born in Frank- lin, township of Kelly, in 1845; | graduated from the Electric College | of" Medicine, Philadelphia, Pa. in | 1868, and had been a members of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario since 1869. He ° 0st- graduated in New York and rhila- | delphia in 1886 and 1890, and first practiced his profession in Bishop's Mills, county of Grenville, and while | there was married to Ladora Bishop, who survives, also one son, Dr. H. F, | Kilborn, who practices in the state | of Michigan; three daughters, Mrs. |H. A. Thomson, of North Augusta, | and Mabel and Abbie at home; one | sister, Mrs. J. B. Elliott, of Ottawa. | Dr. 0. L. Kilborn, of Chentu, China, and the late Dr. R. K. Kilborn, Kings- | ton, were cousins. About forty years ago Dr. Kilborn | located in this county and lived at Rokeby and MeDonald's Corners be- { fore coming to Sharbot Lake seven- teen years ago. When he first came | here this county was only sparsely | settled, and in many instances he travelled miles on horse back to visit | his patients, and many times with | the aid of a guide. For some years {he had been medical health officer ! for the township of Oso and also | South Sherbrooke, associate coroner | for the county of Frontenac and the | district surgeon for the Canadian Pa- { fic Railway Company. ! In religion deceased was a Metho- | dist, and a memper of the Official | Board of 'that church. . He was a staunch temperance advocate, a Re- former in politids, a 6 believer in the British Empi# aad loved his flag. There has been arscancy created by the death of Dr. Kilborn in private life, where he wa¥ a devoted and be- loved husband and father; in public and religious life, where there was a broad view taken by a deeply in- tellectual man that will not be filled. Mrs, Kilborn and the family have the sincere sympathy of the entire com- munity. ie TO REAR NE 'RESIDENCE. The Strickland Homestead Has Been Sold.
