Dr Samuel T East
Birth Nov. 7, 1842
Death Sep. 20, 1880
His obit: In Memory of Dr. Sam'l T. EAST
On Sept. 20, 1880, at about 5 o'clock p.m., our late friend and townsman, Dr. Samuel T. EAST received the final summons, and passed from the cares of corrupt and sinful world and entered the land of eternal rest. His health had been failing for several months, though of late had somewhat improved, up to the morning of the day he died, when he was attacked with slight hemorrhage of the lungs, which caused but little alarm at the time. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, however, he was seized by a fit of coughing, followed by hemorrhage, from which he expired in less than 10 minutes.
Dr. EAST was born Nov. 7, 1842, and would have been 38 years old had he lived until the 7th of next month. He was raised by his grandfather, Jonah MORRIS. He studied medicine with Dr. D. T. Waddy, formerly of this place, graduating at the St.Louis(Pope's) Medical College in March 1868 and commenced the practice of medicine with his father, Dr. EAST, of Clarenda, Iowa, where he continued in the practice for a year or so, and then returned to Troy, where he has since resided.
He was married to Miss Lou WHEELER on the 21st of May 1868; gave up the practice of medicine and engaged in the drug business the same year, which he followed successfully to the time of his death. He leaves a wife and three children of tender years, besides many warm and admiring friends to mourn his untimely demise, who have the unfeigned sympathy of the entire community in this their sad bereavement and greatest trial of human heart.
