[Mayor of Huntington, W. Va., at the time of his death.]
WV Medical Journal (Jan. 1932), p. 31:
[HOME TOWN HOSPITALS
A newspaper clipping from the Parkersburg Sentinel has recently been received from a prominent West Virginia doctor. He wrote, "This clipping, I feel, would be of interest to the medical profession and should be reprinted in the Journal." The clipping speaks for itself, so we publish it without comment.
"Mayor Floyd S. Chapman of Huntington, who a few weeks ago was elected to office by an overwhelming majority, recently was stricken at his desk and was taken to a Cincinnati hospital to undergo an operation. Huntington is supposed to have some of the best hospitals in the country, but the mayor of that town, like most other outstanding personages in a community, hastens to a big city hospital when he becomes scared about his physical condition. Sometimes we wonder whether those big city hospitals are really any better than the home town institutions."]
