Dr. L.G. Lincecum
"DIED, at his residence, in Lampasas, Texas, August 17, 1900,
DR. L. G. LINCECUM."
The foregoing simple announcement, published through our little city last Saturday morning, carried with it to the hearts of many of our oldest citizens irrepressible sorrow and regret.
Dr. Lincecum was a Mississipian by birth, but came to Texas in the early forties with his father, who was also a distinguished physician. Had he lived until the 29th day of this month, he would have been seventy-two years old. His first wife was Miss Lauderdale, sister of the remarkably typical southern gentleman of the ante-bellum school, Capt. J.S. Lauderdale, now sojourning in our city. His second wife was Miss Rainwater. His third, and surviving wife, was Miss Oliphant. Six children survive him, two by each marriage. He was stricken with paralysis on the morning of August 8th, and lingered in a helpless, pitiable condition, until death came to his relief. It should afford some consolation to know, that his last illness was free of pain.
For more than half a century he devoted his best energies of a vigorous manhood, an educated mind and sympathetic heart, to the relief of human suffering. For twenty-five years his relations to many of the families of this community were the closest that can exist, excepting only the ties of marriage and of blood.
During all these years, the writer was intimately acquainted with him, and shared with him as far as possible to do, many of his sore trials. These he had in greater degree than most men, but bore them all as a philosopher should. He was not a Christian, but a religionist whose convictions were founded in sound reson based upon the recognition of an infinitely wise and immutable God whose laws and purposes are fixed. He declared to the writer only a few months ago, that death had no terrors for him. Of vast experience in his profession, he posessed in addition, exensive learning upon many subjects not connected with it. If he had been endowed with ordinary financial ability he would have died a wealthy man. But, notwithstanding his long life of incessant labor for his fellowman, he died poor.
The old doctor has answered his last call, has passed through the ordeal of death, which, let us hope, was for him but a process of development. The writer does not doubt, that at the last grand assize, when the great God of justice whose judgment is ever tempered with mercy strikes the balance sheet of the old doctor's life, a triumphant surplus of good will be found to his eternal peace. W.A.
