Dr. John Thompson KILBY 

  DR. KILBY'S DEATH. - Dr. John Thompson Kilby, one of the most venerable and 
accomplished physicians of Suffolk, died yesterday morning at 4:30 o'clock, 
at the residence on Main street.  Dissolution was caused by a general physical 
exhaustion resulting from a complication of chronic diseases, and can be 
ascribed to no one specific ailment.  He had been an invalid for several 
months.  He was born in Suffolk seventy years ago and with the exception of a 
few intervals of absence has been a lifelong resident.  After graduating with 
honor he began the practice of medicine about 1848 and shortly alterwards 
increased his knowledge of the profession by foreign travel and attendance at 
lectures of prominent instructors in Paris.  Returning he practiced his chosen 
calling for nearly half a century with marked success. He has also been medical 
examiner for prominent life insurance companies in this section.  He was well-
known and much liked throughout Nansemond and adjoining counties.  Seven 
children survive him as follows: Mesdames W.E. Hines, J.C. Smith and H.E. 
Elam, of Suffolk; Mrs. S.R. Dunn, of Philadelphia, aud Messrs. J.T., Matt and 
C.H. Kilby, all of this section.  The funeral will take place at 4:30 p.m. to 
day from his late residence, Rev. John N. McCormick officiating.  The 
physicians of the town met last night and drafted suitable resolutions 
commemorating his demise.
