THE WESTERN STAR, 10 May 1890
Obituary of DR. GEORGE W. PRICHARD
Dr. G. W. Prichard was born in Fulton county, Illinois, September 23, 1855, where he continued to reside with his father on a farm until he reached man's estate. Having concluded to enter the medical profession, he attended Rush College, at Chicago, for three or four years, and graduated with honor there, in February, 1887. In the summer of 1887, he came west to Comanche county, and began the practice of medicine in Coldwater, and has lived here continuously ever since, and built up a fine practice in his profession, as he had been phenomenally successful with his patients he was much sought after to attend the sick. On the 25th of December, 1888, he was married in this city, to Miss Agnes Stipp, a most estimable young lady who is left a widow, after a brief period of married life.
Dr. G. W. Prichard, was of brilliant intellect, of strong force of character, of upright ways, of happy, genial disposition, and true to his friends, and it was no wonder he moved a favorite in a circle of true and devoted admirers. No wonder his remains were bedewed by the tears of hosts of sorrowing friends. No wonder they came in crowds to pay a last tribute of respect to one so highly esteemed.
Tuesday, the funeral took place from the Opera House, at 2 o'clock, services by the I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 301, and the clergy of Coldwater. It was largely attended by the people from city and country surrounding, turning out to do honor to his memory. The remains were laid to rest in the Coldwater cemetery.
