The Berlin News Record Thu, Feb 20, 1913 Page 3 ______________ DR. KITCHEN DIED TO-DAY One of the Oldest Practitioners of Brant County Passes to His Rest. A life devoted to the service of the community in philanthropy in the science of medicine, and in citizenship ebbed peacefully away this morning in the person of Dr. Edward E. Kitchen of St. George, one of the oldest practitioners of Brant County. The death occurred at the late residence in the village where the deceased was held in universal esteem. It followed after a somewhat extended illness, and was due mainly to natural decline, The illness of Dr. Kitchen was known to have been serious for some time, the chief concern of his family and friends being the condition of his heart. The late Dr. Kitchen belonged to a pioneer family of South Dumfries. His father, Edward Kitchen took up land there in 1826 and was the first farmer of the community to introduce agricultural machinery into farm. work. As a young man, the son Edward, was bent along educational lines and he entered Toronto University, where he first took his degree in arts and then completed his studies in medicine, concluding his course with honors. He commenced practice at St. George. Dr. Kitchen proved most successful in his chosen profession. He served as examiner at the University of Toronto for many years and also occupied the position of chairman of the Provincial Board of Health. He was Divisional. Doctor for the Grand Trunk Railway. In the homes of the people he was a welcome visitor at all times, counsellor, guide and friend to all. In religion the late doctor was an adherent of the Baptist church although his contributions extended to other denominations and not unsparingly. In politics he was a Liberal, and frequently espoused the principles of that party from the platform. For many years he wrote a budget of news for The Expositor, in which his interest in municipal and other matters was always prominent and tending towards the progress of the community. The doctor's chief work, however, was for charity and for education, he being a strong exponent of the usefulness of the public library. Those who knew him and they were numbered by thousands loved him as a man of exemplary character and high ideals of service, and citizenship. His life work was spent and spent well amid the surroundings of his boyhood and manhood, and his name will stand out prominently when the pages of South Dumfries' history are written. The late doctor is survived by a widow, one brother, Salem Kitchen. and two sisters, Vesta and Lucinda all of St. George. Messrs. Frank and Charles Kitchen of Brantford are nephews of the deceased. The funeral arrangements were not completed to- day. The Brantford Daily Expositor Brantford, Ontario, Canada Wed, Feb 19, 1913 Page 1
