CLASS OF 1900

Dr. George Scott Locke, Jr., died of pneumonia November 4 on a ranch about ten miles from Fort Davis, Texas. He was the son of George Scott and Belle (Marshall) Locke, and was born in Lancaster, N. H., April 29, 1876. His home from early childhood was in Concord, N. H., where he was educated in the public schools. After taking his medical degree he did graduate work in New York for a time, and was for nearly two years with Dr. J. C. Irish of Lowell, Mass., studying and practicing surgery, and then served an appointment in the Boston City Hospital. His first independent practice was in Portsmouth, N. H., where he was city physician. His health failing, he went to Texas, where he was superintendent of his father's cattle ranches. After six years he entered upon practice again at Marathon, Texas. Overwork during a typhoid epidemic caused a serious illness. When sufficiently strong, he was removed to the ranch, and was convalescing, when he contracted a severe cold which resulted in pneumonia, causing death within two days. Doctor Locke was a member of the Presbyterian church of Fort Davis, and was highly regarded as a physician and as a man.
