DR. MCDONOUGH'S FUNERAL.
WILL BE BURIED FROM HIS HOME TOMORROW MORNING-TRIBUTE FROM A FRIEND.
The funeral of Dr. John J. McDonough, who died last Friday evening, will take place tomorrow morning from his late residence, 1416 West Jefferson Street, at 8:30 o'clock and from St. Patrick's church at 9 o'clock. The following physicians have been selected as pallbearers: Drs. Samuel Manly, W. B. Doherty, H. H. Grant, George W. Griffiths, E. R. Montgomery, and J. W. Drake.
One of Dr. McDonough's lifelong friends said yesterday in speaking of the dead physician: "In the death of Dr. John J. McDonough, the city lost one of the most worthy and kindly physicians. For thirty years he was engaged in the laborious duties of a general practitioner in Louisville. He had an extensive clientele and probably had a larger obstetrical practice during his time than any other physician in the city. While he was able to talk or ride in his buggy, he never refused a call, no matter from what source it came. He delighted to be 'in the field,' as he expressed it, visiting his patients. Quietly and unostentatiously he plodded along and the experience he obtained while visiting impatiens at their homes with his study of their habits, suroundings, and temperaments, combined to give him the reputation of a safe, prudent, and meritorious doctor. He was of the most sympathizing nature, and no word against a brother physician ever escaped his lips. He was neither a medical society nor a club man, and was slow to adopt any of the new methods. He was a safe counselor and had a happy manner of inspiring his patients with hope, even in the most critical ailments. He was a good and affectionate husband and left his widow in very comfortable circumstances, having been heavily insured.
