CLASS OF 1892

Dr. Wilbur Pray Safford died November 15, 1922, at his home in Brockton, Mass. Two weeks before his death he was obliged to move out of the home where he had lived for many years, the premises having been taken by the city as a site for a new fire alarm building, and the enforced relinguishment of his home, with attendant worry and strain caused by differences with the city government, was the apparent cause of his final illness.

He was born in Boston, Mass., February 20, 1855, his parents being Albert C. and Almira (Pray) Safford. Immediately after receiving his medical degree in the fall of 1891, he established himself in practice in Brockton, where he has since remained.

Dr. Safford was a member of the American Medical Association, the Plymouth County Medical Society, and the Brockton Medical Society, having been president of the last. For ten years he conducted the Safford Maternity Hospital, giving up the work two years ago. During the World War he offered himself for medical work in France with the Red Cross, but the armistice was signed before he was accepted. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows.

He leaves a widow, Mrs. Anna Safford, to whom he was married in 1887. They had no children.
