home of his adoption and was an American citizen in the full 

 meaning of the term, a lover of the republic and of republican insti- 

 tutions. 



He took a lively interest in all that pertains to the elevation and 

 enlightenment of the masses. A true philanthropist, his chosen 

 profession was for the alleviation of suffering humanity. His skill 

 and untiring efforts have restored to health and happiness hundreds 

 who survive to honor his memory. The Monroe County Medical 

 Society, the New York State Medical Society, the Pathological 

 Society, the City Hospital, the Western New York Institute for Deaf 

 Mutes, the Rochester Board of Health, alike lament the untimely 

 removal of one, for many years so closely identified with their 

 interests. 



The plans which he developed for the systematic study of our 

 water-supply, if fully carried out, would be of very great importance 

 to the city of Rochester, and would place upon record facts and data 

 which might be the means of tracing disease and epidemics, and 

 would place within easy reach a means of comparison for all future 

 time. 



His work in scientific research was methodical and painstaking, 

 and his reputation far exceeded local bounds, as his connection with 

 the American Microscopical Society, the British Royal Society of 

 Microscopy and the American Association for the Advancement of 

 Science bears witness. 



A warm friend of Dr. Mallory recently wrote : — " His youth and 

 early manhood were not free from adversity, which was nobly met 

 and valiantly conquered. The struggles of youth gave way to the 

 successes of manhood, and there was developed a finely-rounded and 

 symmetrical character. His mental endowment was of that cumula- 

 tive kind which could rapidly take up new pursuits and almost 

 intuitively absorb their substance and master their details. This was 

 true in many and widely diverse directions. A casual observer could 

 not form an idea from his calm and dignified manner of his manifold 

 acquirements. It was only as one became better acquainted with 

 him that he was really appreciated, and to those who knew him best 

 his life for many years was a constant inspiration to higher 

 achievement.'' 



Physician, philanthropist, scientist, scholar, patriot, citizen, 

 comrade and friend, we shall miss the words of greeting, warm from 

 thy heart, we shall miss thee from the familiar walks of life, and the
