Dr Robert Haile Latane
In the death of Dr Robert Haile Latane, which occurred last Saturday, Buchanan and Botetourt county has lost one of their best beloved and most highly esteemed citizens and physician. In his more than forty years of professional service in this section he had so endeared himself to all our people as to leave indelibly stamped on their minds a memory akin to that of a Good Samaritan. Always kind, considerate and generous, he was never too busy nor fatigued to respond to the call of the sick, the needy and afflicted. So truly the passing of this good man and talented physician leaves a void in this community which only time can erase.
