CLASS OF 1894

Dr. Joseph Bernard Monahan died in New Haven, Conn., March 25, 1919, of heart disease following influenza.

He was born in Southington, Conn., Decern ber 5, 1868. His parents, James and Bridget Monahan, were natives of Ireland. Dr. David H. Monahan, 1900, D. M. S., is a brother. He fitted in the public schools of Southington for Fordham University, and graduated there as A. B.

After receiving his medical degree he established himself in practice in New Haven, and remained there until a breakdown of his health in 1912. He then went under medical advice to the White Haven Sanatorium, White Haven, Pa., where he remained nearly a year, serving on the medical staff. Returning to Connecticut, he became interested in the Norwich Sanatorium, and several times took temporary charge of the institution. In the summer of 1918 he helped on the draft board, and during the influenza epidemic in the fall worked much beyond his strength, finally falling himself a victim to the disease.

Resolutions adopted by the New Haven Medical Association commend "his zealous devotion to professional duty, his kindness and cheer-bringing attention to his patients, the charm of his personality, the heroic fortitude in his battle for life and activity."

Dr. Monahan was unmarried. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the New Haven and Connecticut Medical Societies, the Knights of Columbus, the Holy Name Society, the Elks, and the Eagles.
