Dr. R.L. Belcher
The subject of this sketch was born near Edom, Van Zandt county, Texas May 3, 1858. He died at Chandler, Texas October 28, 1903, and was therefore 45 years, 5 months and 26 days old.
We first knew Dr. Belcher when he was a young man, clerking in the drugstore of D.L. Riley at Canton. He studied medicine, attended college, and well prepared himself for his chosen profession.
On December 8, 1887, he married Miss Ada Chandler of Chandler, who survives him. He resided at Chandler 18 or 19 years. He built up a fine practice from which he derived a fine competency and left a good property for his surviving wife. He had no children.
Dr. Belcher was a man who quietly attended to his own business. He was a very pleasant companion, but not demonstrative. Men of such fine character are rare, and his community has sustained an irreparable loss, and the county has lost one of it's most useful citizens.
His last illness was of 5 weeks duration. He early in his illness expressed the opinion he would not recover. The REVIEW extends sympathy to the bereaved.
