EUGENE, OREGON PAPER'S ACCOUNT
OF OBITUARY OF DR. GEORGE ABBOTT
The tragic death of Dr. George Emerson Abbott, longtime Eugene surgeon, will be remembered in exactly those terms.
The man himself will be long remembered by thousands who were grateful recipients of his fine talent and by countless friends He will be remembered with deep respect and, by some, with certain feelings of awe. For he was an exceptional man as well as an honored member of his profession.
That his death was the almost direct result of gradual impairment of the function of the hand he had used to remedy afflictions of so many others, and to save many lives, can only be described as tragic.
Dr. Abbott, only 62, might have continued practice for many more years had he not been stricken himself with a malady no one could cure. That fact will be recalled, regretfully, as others mourn with his family and think back upon three decades of fine service he rendered in this community.
