Dr. Philip Schuyler Doane, a prominent physician and surgeon in Chicago for many years, died April 27 in Pasadena, Cal.. after a week's illness. He was 67 years old.
Dr. Doane, a native of Oak Park, was graduated from Rush Medical School and lived in Chicago until 1920 when he moved with his family to California. He was a lieutenant colonel in the medical corps during the world war and was in charge of health and sanitation for the United States Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet corporation.
He organized the Pasadena Central Health service, was president for 11 years of the Pasadena Humane Society, and for two years of the Pasadena Flower Show Association.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Helen Stewart Doane, two daughters, Mrs. Miles Hubbard (Helen), and Miss Phyllis Schuyler Doane, a son, Graeme Stewart Doane, a sister, Rachael Doane and a brother, Kellogg Doane. Funeral and burial took place in Pasadena on Tuesday.
The Doane family was prominent in Oak Park prior to 1900 and afterward till about 1925. Dr. Doane's parents were charter members of the First Presbyterian Church of Oak Park. Dr. Doane and his two sisters grew up in the village. Their old home, a large frame house, stood on the site of the present Santa Maria building at 232 North Oak Park Avenue. Few of their contemporaries are living in Oak Park at present.
That Dr. Doane was prominent in California and considered a public spirited and valuable citizen was evidenced by news of his death in Pasadena and Los Angeles newspapers. Over his picture in the Pasadena Star-News, sent to Oak Leaves by Doris Dahlberg Swan, formerly society Editor of Oak Leaves, was the lines "Contagion of Gay Spirit Felt Through Community". The biographical sketch told of his birth in Oak Park. It follows in part:
Report of the seriousness of Dr. Doane's condition, when first it was learned that no hope was held for his recovery, had come as a great shock to those who had seen him going happily about his calls last week, radiating the jolly spirit that was so characteristic of him, and which had endeared him to so many persons in all walks of life throughout the community.
As first president of the Pasadena Flower Show Association, Dr. Doane was responsible in many ways for the growth of that cultural project, always taking an active part in the flower shows, first- at Busch Gardens and later at Carmelita and the Fannie E. Morrison Horticultural Center, Brookside Park, of which he was chairman of the board of trustees. A lover of flowers himself, he enjoyed the pursuit of this hobby in his own beautiful garden. He served as president from 1936 to 1938 and then as vice-president.
Dr. Doane also was a great lover of animals. He had served as president of the Pasadena Humane Society for the past 11 years and had been an active member for 20 years.
Dr. Doane was born in Oak Park, Illinois on Aug. 16, 1872, making his home in Chicago until he brought his family to Pasadena in 1920. He was a graduate of Phillip Exeter Academy, the University of Chicago, and of Rush Medical College. He took military training at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, and served as lieutenant-colonel during the World War. Later he was a lieutenant colonel in the Medical Corps Reserves.
Dr. Doane was a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Institute of Medicine. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the California Medical Association and the Los Angeles County Medical Association.
He organized the Pasadena Central Health Service, which provided medical care during the depression to many who otherwise would have been unable to afford care. He was a director of the Pasadena Chapter, American Red Cross.
Possessed of many artistic talents, Dr. Doane spent many hours with his wood carving, painting and drawing and in embellishing his philatelic collection. He did the illustrations for text-books written by Immanuel Senn, known as the "master surgeon" and also illustrated a portion of a book written by the late Dr. Charles Lockwood of Pasadena.
