OBITUARY. 
Dr.  George  Ross  died  at  Lebanon,  Pa.,  November  30th,  in  the  sixtieth 
year  of  his  age.  He  was  a  native  of  Elizabethtown,  Pa.,  learned  the  drug 
business  at  Harrisburg,  and  was  afterwards  for  about  eight  years  in  busi- 
ness in  his  native  town,  during  which  time  he  studied  medicine,  graduat- 
ing from  the  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  1849.  Since  1852  he  resided  at 
Lebanon,  carrying  on  the  drug  business.  He  held  numerous  offices  of  trust 
and  responsibility,  and  was  an  active  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  and 
American  Pharmaceutical  Associations.  Honorable  and  energetic  in  his 
dealings,  kind  and  friendly  in  his  intercourse  with  others,  faithful  and 
prompt  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties,  he  leaves  a  large  circle  of  friends  to 
whom  he  had  become  endeared  through  liis  genial  qualities. 
Samuel  E.  Wilson,  a  native  of  Virginia,  but  a  resident  of  Texas,  died 
in  Philadelphia,  December  3d,  where  he  temporarily  resided,  attending  the 
College  of  Pharmacy.  He  was  a  faithful  and  earnest  student,  who  had 
secured  for  himself  alike  the  regards  of  his  teachers  and  fellow  students. 
The  senior  class,  of  wliich  he  was  a  member,  took  the  following  action : 
Whereas,  It  hath  pleased  Almighty  God  in  His  wise  providence  to 
remove  from  our  midst  our  esteemed  friend  and  fellow  student,  Mr.  Samuel 
Eston  Wilson,  of  Terrell,  Texas,  therefore  be  it 
Besolved,  That  it  is  but  a  Just  tribute  to  the  memory  of  the  departed  to 
say  that  in  regretting  his  removal  we  mourn  for  one  who  was,  in  every 
way,  worthy  of  our  respect  and  regard. 
Resolved,  That  we  sincerely  condole  with  the  family  of  the  deceased  in 
their  affliction,  and  commend  them  for  consolation  to  "Him  who  doeth  all 
things  well,"  and  whose  chastisements  are  in  mercy.
