Obituary - For the second time in two months, great sorrow has come to the home of the Gilbert family in Bayport. Dr. George W. Gilbert, a veterinary surgeon widely known throughout this section of Long Island, died on Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock at the Moriches Inn, Centre Moriches, a hour after suffering a fractured skull in a collision between a Southampton car and Dr. Gilbert's Ford.
Dr. Gilbert was called professionally to the Floyd estate in Mastic Saturday afternoon. He was on his way home about 6:30 o'clock when he turned from the Mastic Station road into the South Country road. At the junction of the two roads the doctor's Ford stalled and the lights of the machine went out. He was in the act of cranking the engine when the automobile of Albert Winne, occupied by Mr. Winne and three other persons, came from the west on the way home to Southampton. The driver of the Winne automobile failed to see Dr. Gilbert's dark car until he was almost upon it. He attempted to clear the machine, but in passing, the two cars collided and Dr. Gilbert's machine was pushed against him and threw him heavily beneath it.
Mr. Winned stopped and hailed a passing stage from Moriches, in which the injured man was taken to the Moriches Inn. He never regained consciousness and Coroner Moore, of Bay Shore, who held an inquest on Sunday, gave his verdict that Dr. Gilbert met his death accidentally and died of a fractured skull.
He was born in Birmingham, England, 66 years ago, coming to his country when but two years old and living for a time in Jersey City. The greater part of his life, however, he had spent on Long Island. For 34 years he had lived in Bayport. For years during the early part of his life he had followed the bay.
He had for years been married before taking up the study of veterinary surgery at the New York State College and had a wife and eight children before he was graduated in the class of 1886. While in college he won a gold medal for passing the best general examination and received a set of instruments for passing the best examination in anatomy. Because of his fine bass voice he was secured during his student days by R. Fulton Cutting to sing at the Bowery Mission and recompense for this partially paid his college expense.
He was formerly noted as an athlete particularly as a long distance walker participating in a number of the old-time five-day races. One of his most famous contests was a twenty-five mile walk against Talkhouse, last of the Montauk Indian chiefs, in Sag Harbor, which Dr. Gilbert won. He was also a clever entertainer and singer. He was a member of the Sayville I.O.O.F. lodge, the Bayport Board of Trade and the Bayport Fire Department.
Dr. Gilbert married Miss Betsy Ann Clark of Holtsville, forty-seven years ago, and they had eleven children. The first break in the family occurred in November, when a son, Adrian Gilbert, died in Holden, Mass. The survivors are the widow, a son, Edward Gilbert, of Nutley, N.J., and nine daughters, Mrs. W.S. Kellum of Babylon; Mrs. Adam Hill and Mrs. Herbert Downs, of Riverhead; Mrs. Frank Goldsmith, of Newark, N.J.; Mrs. Myrtle Skinner, of Greenport; Mrs. W.D. Hopkins of Livingston, N.J.; and Mrs. Joseph Annable and the Misses Rosella and Helen Gilbert of Bayport.
Funeral services for Dr. Gilbert were held on Tuesday afternoon from St. Ann's Episcopal Church, of which he was a member, the Rev. John H. Prescott officiating.
