DR. E. R. MICHAUX DIES AFTER A 3-WEEK ILLNESS
PROMINENT PHYSICIAN OF CITY PASSES AT HIS HOME ON WEST MARKET
FUNERAL RITES FRIDAY
Dr. Edward Randolph Michaux, for more than half a century a resident of Greensboro and during a large part of that time a prominent physician here, died at 9:15 o’clock Wednesday night at his home, 1107 West Market street. He had been in ill health several months and his condition had been critical during the last three weeks.
Funeral service will be conducted at 11 o’clock Friday morning at the First Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev. Charles F. Myers, D. D. Interment will be in Green Hill cemetery.
Dr. Michaux leaves his wife, who prior to their marriage was Miss Cornelia Robertson[sic], of Guilford College, two sisters, Mrs. T. M. McConnell, and Mrs. T. H. Crocker, and a brother, John S. Michaux, all of Greensboro. An older brother, Macon Michaux of Goldsboro, died in 1926.
Dr. Michaux, son of the late Rev. J. L. Michaux and Sarah Macon Michaux was born in Enfield, and when a boy came to Greensboro, where he resided until his death. His father was for several years after his removal to Greensboro the editor of the Central Protestant, a religious periodical, and the Daily Workman, local afternoon newspaper.
As a youth Dr. Michaux formed a friendship with William Sydney Porter, native son of Greensboro, famous as a short story writer. The acquaintance, which ripened into a lifelong friendship, began when the two met at the drug store operated by W. C. Porter, father of O. Henry. When the latter left for Texas as a young man, Dr. Michaux succeeded him as a clerk in Porter’s store.
It was while employed as a drug clerk that Dr. Michaux became interested in the profession of medicine, and he was graduated in medicine at the University of the City of New York. Subsequently he did post graduate work at this institution, and from time to time he took courses at New York Port Graduate school.
The unusual professional skill of the surgeon and the lovable personality of the man endeared Dr. Michaux to his many patients and friends in this city, where he practiced his profession. He was one of Greensboro’s best known and most beloved citizens, one whose death brings grief to hundreds.
For many years Dr. Michaux was surgeon for the Southern Railway company and the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroad company, and served in this capacity until his death. He had also served as president of the Guilford County Medical society and as a member of various committees of the state medical society.
Dr. Michaux was a member of the Southern and Tri-State Medical societies, as well as the Guilford County and state medical societies. He was also a member of the First Presbyterian church and the Masonic order.
During the illness of Dr. Michaux, which was attributed to a combination of organic ailments, numerous inquiries concerning his condition reflected his popularity in the city. He had been a familiar and beloved figure in the unfolding life of the city, which became his residence as a boy.
