It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of Dr. Adam A. Slaughter, which event occurred near Pocahontas, Randolph county, Arkansas, on Saturday, April 8, at 8 o'clock A.M. It is seldom that we have been compelled to write the untimely decease of any one who while living, was more justly entitled to the esteem and condolence of his fellow men and of more promise as an enlightened physician and exemplary member of society. Dr. Adam A. Slaughter was born in Nelson county, Kentucky, October 11, 1845. He moved to Ballard county with his parents in 1857. He studied medicine with Dr. Lilliard, of Columbus, Kentucky, attended two courses of lectures at the Medical Department of the Louisville University, and graduated with the first honors of his class in February, 1870. He at once commenced the practice of his profession in his adopted county, and rapidly accured a large and lucrative business, in which he was actively, industriously and laboriously engaged until overtaken by the fell desease, Consumption, which eventually put an end to his usefulness among his fellow men. In December last he became convinced that he must seek a more genial climate than ours to restore his shattered constitution. With this view he started to Texas for the purpose of locating to that State to practice physic and regain his health. While on his way to Texas he stopped with a brother of his living in Arkansas to pay a brief visit, and while there was suddenly taken worse and gradually sank into the cold embrace of death, as above stated.
Dr. Adam A. Slaughter was no common man. He was a man of brains, energy and of the highest principles of the Christian physician and gentleman. He was a staunch member of the Baptist church and a devoted Mason. In his profession he was remarkably expert and thoroughly posted. He became a member of the Southwestern Kentucky medical Association at its organization May 25, 1871. He was received into the Kentucky State Medical Society April, 1873, and has ever been an active, zealous and blameless example of medical honor for the good of his craft and his fellow creatures.
While we drop a tear to the loved and lost associate of former years in the person of Adam Slaughter, but lately our companion and our friend, we must not forget to imitate the virtues of his excellent character, while we treasure his memory in the ranks of those who were his pride and delight.
