"The profession of Louisville has suffered a severe loss in the death of Dr. W. Ed Grant, which occurred suddenly while driving his automobile along the street in company with his wife. Death was caused by a heart lesion.
Dr. Grant was seventy-four years of age, and was actively engaged in professional work up to the hour of his death. He was born in Boone County, Kentucky, the son of a physician, and a graduate of Jefferson medical College in Philadelphia. He came to Louisville in 1885, and was for several years associated with the late Dr. E. R. Palmer in medical practice. He was a brother of Dr. H. H. Grant, the well-known surgeon of Louisville.
Dr. Grant was especially known to the profession through his work as a health officer and teacher in the medical department of the University of Lousiville. He was for several years Dean of the school. He was for eight years--1909-1917--Health Officer of the City of Louisville. His administration of this office won for him the highest commendation. He gave much attention to life insurance, and was medical director of a large company. In all of these departments his work was thorough, efficient and conscientious. Dr. Grant was a man of gentle manners, firm in the sincerity of his purposes, and commanded the esteem and confidence of all his associates. Both his private and professional life was directed toward high ideals. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Burnett Grant, who was with him at the time of his death. L.S. McMurtry"
