Death of Dr. I. S. P. LORD, in Cali.
A Former Resident of Batavia, at the Age of 91 Years.
We clip the following from the Los Angeles (Cali.) Daily Times, which will be of interest to many of our citizens, as the deceased was a former resident and practicing physician of Batavia:
The death of I. S. P. LORD, occurred Wednesday, July 15, 1896, of paralysis. He was born in Batavia, N. Y., in 1805, thus having reached the venerable age of 91 years. He practiced medicine in Chicago, Brooklyn, and Poughkeepsie, before coming to Cali., in 1849. He returned to the East, but came back again in ’77, and afterward married his present wife, whose maiden name was CASE, and who has been an unusually devoted wife for over 20 years. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. S. S. Sterns of South Moline avenue, and Mrs. LUCKY of Poughkeepsie, and one son I. W. LORD, the founder of Lordsburg. Dr. Lord was remarkable for vigor of mind and body. He was prominent as a physician and was always in the front rank for reform. The cause of the slave was near to his heart; he was deeply interested in the temperature question, and vigorously opposed the Mormons during the agitation of that question before they moved to Salt Lake.
