Dr. Robert S. Bosher, associate in medicine of the Medical College of Virginia for nearly twenty years and one of the best-known physicians of Richmond, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 2 East Franklin Street, after an illness of only a week.

Dr. Bosher was forty-four years old and unmarried. He was the son of Mattie E. Bosher and the late Robert S. Bosher. He is survived by a brother, Lewis S. Bosher, and two sisters, Mrs. George S. Brewster and Mrs. Thomas W. Purcell. He was a nephew of Dr. Lewis C. Bosher, of Richmond.

Dr. Bosher received his academic training at the University of Virginia. His medical training was received at the Medical College of Virginia, from which he graduated in 1900, with additional work in New York and Vienna.

He was one of the founders of Stuart Circle Hospital and a member for many years of the visiting staff in internal medicine of that institution.

Dr. Bosher was best known, however, for the tremendous amount of clinical work, which he did both in connection with the Medical College dispensary and in the interest of the fight against tuberculosis. He was one of the fathers of the antituberculosis movement and a pioneer in the establishment of tubercular clinics in the State. He was especially interested in Pine Camp, the tuberculosis sanatorium.

The funeral will be from the residence at 10:30 tomorrow morning. Friends and relatives may attend.
