Son of Duncan MacMartin and Mary MacArthur and husband of Laura Mae Whitrock.
———
Dr. Duncan R. Martin, one f Chicago's leading physicians and whose former wife was Laura Whitrock of Steven's Point, was found dead in a bathtub in his suite in the Great Northern hotel, Chicago, on Wednesday.
Dr. MacMartin was accustomed to taking a cold bath in the morning before leaving his room for his appointments. At 11 o'clock the maid who takes care of the rooms entered the suite and, looking in the bathroom, found the doctor in a sitting posture in a half-filled tub and leaning forward until his face was submerged. The coroner was notified, and the body removed to C.H Jordan & Co's. undertaking rooms, 164 North Michigan avenue.
The verdict of the inquest, held a few hours later, substantiated the physician's belief that he died from apoplexy. Dr. Robert D. MacArthur, and uncle of the dead physician, testified that his nephew had been in ill health for some time but had recently said his health was improving. There are no relatives in the city, but several brothers and sisters are living in Ontario, Canada, where Dr. MacMartin lived before coming here.
Commenting on the death, Judge Laughlin, owner of the Great Northern hotel, where Dr. MacMartin had lived and been house physicians for 20 years said:
"He was a most unassuming man and devoted to his friends. He took more interest in charity cases than in cases of the rich and was always looking after their interests."
He was a member of the Chicago Athletic club and the Union League, was a member of the staff at St. Luke's, Henrotin, and Polyclinic hospitals, and was a graduate of MacGill university. He was identified with many charitable projects. His long services at the Great Northern hotel brought him in touch with many people and in many cases, he was confidential adviser on matters outside his profession. He was 54 years old.
Funeral services will be held at Graceland chapel Saturday at 3:43 o'clock.
Dr. Macmartin was divorced in 1914 by Laura Mae MacMartin, author, poet, and philanthropist, who later married James W. Corrigan, Cleveland millionaire and sportsman.
