Dr. Winfield Scott RANNELLS, for months an invalid, suffering intensely from internal cancers, died at 3 o'clock this morning, at his late residence, on corner of Center and Jefferson streets. Death was a welcome messenger and dispensed with the suffering Mr. Rannells has patiently endured during his long seige of sickness.
Dr. Rannells was a son of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Newton RANNELLS and was born in Rochester. He attended the schools here and later the Rush Medical College, at Chicago, but that institution being destroyed by the Chicago fire, he completed his Medical course in the Indiana Medical College, at Indianapolis, where he graduated. He began the practice of medicine at Inwood, and in 1875 was united in marriage with Leota HUNTER. They became the parents of one child, Cora [RANNELLS], who is now at Los Angeles, California. His first wife died a year or so after their marriage, and in 1878 he was married to Eliza BRETZ, at Monterey, where he was then practicing medicine. To them were born three children, of whom two are dead, and Fred [RANNELLS] resides here.
Dr. and Mrs. Rannells came to Rochester about three years ago, from Argos. Here he formed a partnership with Dr. P. E. TERRY, who died last fall. Dr. Rannells practiced here for about two years, but owing to illness was forced to give up his work.
At the time of his death he was a member of the K. of P. lodge of Argos, and the Odd Fellows order of this place, and was formerly a Mason.
Funeral will be held Monday at the late residence, by Rev. W. F. SWITZER, and Rev. E. Q. LAUDEMAN. Interment in I.O.O.F. cemetery. The funeral will be conducted by local Odd Fellows lodge.
The remains may be viewed any time Sunday and Monday up until the time of the funeral.
