DEATH OF DR. HOWARD DENSMORE AT NOEL SHORE, HANTS COUNTY.
The news of the death of Dr. Howard Densmore, the well known and highly esteemed physician, late of Elmsdale, which took place at his father's residence, Noel Shore, Hants County, Thursday evening, the 9th inst., will cause sorrow and sadness in many families, where his kindly face and sympathetic nature, made him a general favorite.
Dr. Densmore was born at Noel Shore, Hants County, 38 years ago. He was the second son of Capt. Levi Densmore.
His father was one of the most enterprising and successful sea Captains on that shore. His family consisted of three sons, Frederick, Howard and Albert. It was Captain Densmore's ambition to give his boys an education that would qualify them to be useful citizens. From his boyhood, Dr. Densmore manifested a love for study.
Four years of his early life were spent at sea, during which time he passed from sailor to the position of chief officer in his father's ship. His last voyage was a notable one, in the fact that owing to the severe sickness of the Captain (his father) he was obliged to assume full command of the ship, which he did with success, being but a boy: and in addition to the responsibility of the command of the ship, he nursed his father back to health.
Leaving the sea, he turned his attention again to study. After following a course of studies, one year of which was spent in Halifax Medical College, he entered the John Hopkins Medical University of Baltimore, and in three years graduated with honors from the medical faculty of that University.
After graduating, he began at once the practice of medicine at Elmsdale, where he continued for 11 years, winning a high reputation as a general family physician. While attending to his practice which rapidly extended in all directions, he was at the same time a man among men, and studied the wants of the community, and took an active interest in Municipal affairs. Three years he was elected to the County Council in the District of Elmsdale.
Failing health forced him to relinquish his practice, he came to his father's for rest. Entertaining a strong hope that he would fully recover his health, and with a desire to further qualify himself for usefulness in his profession, he went to London to take a three months course. He entered the University, and studied for three weeks, when his strength failed him, and he was reluctantly obliged to give up and return home. In that home to which he came, all that science and care and love could do was done for his comfort. During his sickness, tokens of love and expressions of sympathy were continually coming to him from his friends at home and abroad, testifying to his worth and expressing the hope and prayer that he might recover.
How deeply all this touched his large heart, no words can tell. In full possession of all his faculties, and the recognition of the inevitable end, he expressed his faith in Jesus Christ as his Saviour, and a firm hope of everlasting life.
The funeral took place at his father's residence, Saturday afternoon. The service was conducted, and the sermon preached by his personal friend, Rev. A.W. Main, from text, 1st. Thess., iv:14 "They who sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." Mr. Main spoke in high praise and paid a warm tribute to the worth of Dr. Densmore. The Rev. George Ross, of Maitland, was present and took part in the service. Three favorite hymns were sung, "Asleep in Jesus," "Rock of Ages," and "Jesus Lover of My Soul."
The chief mourners were, the father and mother, Capt. and Mrs. Densmore, his brother, Frederick and Albert, with their families; his aunts, Mrs. Simon McCulloch and Miss Ida Densmore. He was followed by a large concourse of sorrowing and sympathizing friends. The interment took place in the Lower Selma Cemetery, where all that was mortal of him, was laid to the dust, believing that his record is on High, and we can therefore with humble confidence leave his spirit with Him who knows the secrets of every heart, and whose tender mercies are over all his works.
