Dr. G. A. Nash
Death Follows Operation for Cancer.
Following a serious illness of three weeks, Dr. George Allen Nash, one of the most widely known physicians in northwest Missouri, died at 2:30 o'clock this morning at St. Francis hospital.
Dr. Nash had been failing in health for the past three years. During this time he kept constantly at his work never relaxing until a few weeks ago when his condition made it imperative. At that time, several other physicians were called in consultation, Dr. Nash's malady was found to be carcinoma of the pancreas and his symptoms were grave. An operation was decided upon and he went to St. Francis hospital, where he underwent an operation on December 17. He rallied from the effect of the operation and for a time slightly improved, although the physicians in attendance realized that his ultimate recovery was impossible.
Dr. Nash came to Maryville in April 1879, and engaged in a general practice of medicine. He had been continuously in practice in Maryville since that time with the exception of a few periods which he spent in attending lectures and taking special study to advance himself in his profession.
Dr. Nash devoted special attention during all his years of study and practice to surgery and for the past ten years had practiced surgery exclusively gradually giving up his general practice.
For twenty years Dr. Nash had been chief surgeon of St. Francis hospital and was also local surgeon for the Wabash and C. B. & Q. railroads. Thru Dr. Nash's liberal financial support and his efforts in behalf of the institution, is due largely the up building and growth of St. Francis hospital.
Dr. Nash was born February 1, 1849, in Hendricks County, Indiana. He received his early education at Prairie City, Illinois being graduated from the city schools in 1867. In the fall of that year he came to DeKalb County, Missouri. During the intervening years, until 1879, Dr. Nash spent in study and was graduated from the St. Joseph medical college in February of that year. Later he took a post graduate course in the University of Pennsylvania. He kept constantly in touch with the highest and best of his profession until he attained a position as one of the highest medical men in the middle west.
Dr. Nash was married November 13, 1870 to Miss Mary C. Houston, who with one daughter, Alma M. survives him. He also leaves a young adopted daughter, Elizabeth Nash, whom he and his wife took into their home several years ago, and five brothers and sisters. They are A. W. Nash and S. A. Nash of St. Joseph, A. M. Nash and Mrs. Lydia Jacques of Watonga, Oklahoma and Mrs. Elizabeth Betts of Prairie City, Illinois.
