The Doctor Did Not Attend

New York, 1895

Indignation is felt at Freeport over the death of Mrs. Sammis Wilsen, on Tuesday. The circumstances involve the action of Dr. Edwin Carman, the town poor doctor. Wilsen and his wife lived in a little house near the Milburn pumping station. Both were ill with grip, and the woman developed pneumonia. One of the neighbors discovered their condition and notified Dr. Carman. He failed to appear, and he was notified a second and third time. Three days later another doctor was obtained. He found the woman dying. There was no food in the house. Dr. Carman claims he was ill himself and could not go.
