HON. WILLIAM W. WADDELL DEAD.
After a Long lUnea« .th« Well Known
Physician Succumbs to Death's Cold
Olmd. Socially and Politically; Popular.
Dr. W. W. Waddcll, an eminent phys
ician of Dushore, known to every man,
woman and child in-Sullivnn county and
fora number of years a prominent figure
in Republican politics, died on Monday
at 6 p. 111. in Philadelphia where he had
been taken last week to undergo an oper
ation.. The operation was successfully
performed but- heart failurej- was the * im
mediate cause of his death.
The remains arrived at Dushore on
Tuesday morning one-haW hour in advance
of the telegram ■ announcing his death.
The deceased had been suffering with an
abscess in his side since last summer and
after an operation last fall was compelled
to remain in bed until within the past
few weeks when he had rallied sufficient
to be up and around in his room. It was
in the hopes of a more rapid recovery that
he was taken to Philadelphia
another necessary operation |»ertormed.
The Doctor was about fifty • years of age
and leaves a bride of but a few months
to sorrowfully mourn his death.
Personally, professionally and political
ly Dr. Waddell was rigidly honest. His
standard of integrity was high and lie
endeavored strictly to live up to it. He
wasjwarm-hearted. generous, faithful to
his friends and magnanimous in his
treatment of J political opponents,
his enemies, he had none; he was a man.
That Dr. Waddell was well in advance
among Republican leaders in the matter
of party policy and strength was attested
in 1888, when he defeated the strongest
party man in the Democratic ranks, the
late Hon. Josh Lull, for the office of Hcp
rcsentative. He served the county faith
fully in the Legislature during the years
1889 90 and could have returned had lie
desired.
I The funeral took place on Thursday,
j Interment in Dushore cemetery.
