Dr. WREN, who had not practiced since June, 1952, was, prior to that date, one

time, Dr. WREN suffered a stroke and in June of that year retired from practice.
His son, Dr. Robert S. WREN, took over the care of some of his patients, but did
not in fact, take over his father's entire practice since he (young Dr. WREN)
was specializing as a surgeon. Dr. WREN is survived by his wife, and son,

brothers, Christopher WREN of New York City and Thomas WREN of Dayton, Ohio.
