DR. JAMES H. HONAN IS DEAD

K. P. Honan Called to Augusta, Georgia, by Death of Brother. Dr. James (Hi. Honan, youngest brother of E. P. Honan of this city, died at his winter home in Augusta, Georgia, at 9 p. m. Sunday after an illness of three months, which first started at his summer home at Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania. Mr Honan left on the 11:20* train Monday to attend the funeral, which held at Augusta this afternoon. News of Dr. Honan’s death came as a distinct shock to his brother and family here. They received a letter in which both Dr. Honan and his wife told how much better the former was feeling and it was thought that he would soon regain his former health, both the letter and the telegram telling of his death reaching here at about the same time Monday morning. His death, therefore, must have been quite sudden. Dr. Honan was born in Delphi, Indiana, fifty-eigßt years ago last Tuesday, November 6. He took up the study of medicine when a young man and was practicing in Berlin, Germany, when the great war broke out in 1914, he having been in Germany twenty-three years at that time. He had attained great prominence as a physician and had written several works that had attracted much attention, but he hurried out of the country as soon as possible to his native land when this conflict broke out. Both Dr. Honan and wife had frequently visited in Rensselher with his brother and he was well known to many people here who will be pained to learn of his death, and they extend sympathy to the ‘bereaved widow and brother. He left no children.
