Browder, Hardin Co Taken from The Elizabethtown News, Elizabethtown Ky March 8, 1889 Edition Typed as published and submitted by Laura Frost Wright PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF DR. GEORGE R. BROWDER EDITOR NEWS: Many of your readers have seen in some of the Louisville papers an account of the death of my brother, Dr. GEORGE R. BROWDER, of Fairview , Ky, in which notice there appeared that his death was possible from suicide , It is to correct this unfounded statement that I ask a space in your column. I wish to say there is no ground whatever for the least suspician in the matter. Any conjecture that he died from else than natural cause is unwarrented and out of place. My brother did die suddenly and in a room by himself, but it was the result of an aggravated case of Bright"s disease of the kidney"s, which had produced valvular disease of the heart , which was the immediate cause of his trouble and death. two weeks previous to his death he spent a day and night with me in Elizabethtown on his way to Louisville to seek medical advice. Dr. J.M. RAY, of Louisville, voluntarily wrote me that him and Dr. COTTEL had made a careful examination of Dr. BROWDER and found him to be the victim of an advanced case of bright's disease, and that death was inevitable in the near future, and he was not at all surprised at his sudden taking off. My brother reached the home of my brother at Ormstead, on Sunday evening, Feb. 24th-then in a dying condition, though his friends did not apprehend the seriouness of his trouble. He purposely avoided breaking the news to his mother of his approaching end requesting them with whom he talked not to tell his family, as they had trouble enough to bear, and he would not add anything to his mother's burden. He was a successful phycician with a large practice, a devoted christian and steward in the M.E. church south. A citizen of great influence in his community, and no one who knew him well, would attribute other than the purest motives to him. I have felt it important to say this in vindication of the character of a noble brother, who now sleepth and cannot plead his own case. R.W.
