| Text | Dr. G. W. McClure died at his home in Springfield Monday
evening about 6 o'clock after a lingering illness of many weeks. Diseases of
the lungs are the causes of his death. His illness was due to pleurisy and
later tuberculosis developed. The deceased had several operations performed
but all the treatment was of no avail. Dr. White McClure was a son of the late William McClure and was born on a farm, one mile north of Washburn, about 37 years ago. There he grew to manhood. Being ambitious from childhood to enjoy the advantages of a professional occupation, after attending school at Washburn he entered the Rush Medical College at Chicago, Ill., from which he graduated in 1900. Soon after completing his medical course he began the practice of his profession at Carterville and became recognized as one of the most prominent Jasper County's physicians. Last October he moved to Springfield with the expectation of taking charge of a hospital. Within a few days after his arrival he became ill, and grew worse continually. For several days prior to his death all hopes of saving his life had been abandoned by his physicians. Besides a wife and one son he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Janie McClure, one sister and four brothers, Mrs. S.W. Chandler of Cassville, Will of Claremore, Okla., Guy of Springfield, Charley of Lawton, Okla., and Walter of Kansas City. The funeral services were conduced Wednesday, afternoon at the family home in Springfield by Rev. J. E. McDonald of the M. E. church South at Springfield and interment was made at Maple Park Cemetery. |
