OBITUARY:
PASSED TO HIS REST
Dr. S. R. Jessup Succumbed to Disease Yesterday - After an Illness of Over One Year - A Physician in This City for Thirty Years.
Dr. S. R. Jessup, aged 62 years, 5 months and 22 days, died at his residence, at No. 178 State street, yesterday morning at 6:10 o'clock, after over one year's suffering, of stomach trouble.
Dr. Solon Robinson Jessup was born at Stilesville, Indiana, on April 23, 1839, and came to Oregon in 1861, settling in Dallas, where he remained until he came to Salem and has resided here continuously since. In the year 1868 he graduated from the Medical College of the Willamette University, and on August 26th of the same year was married to Miss Sophronia Cashow [Coshow], who, with one son, Dr. Albert A. Jessup, survives him. In 1872 he graduated from the Bellevue Medical College of New York City and, returning to this city, he built up a large and lucrative practice, which he enjoyed and attended to unfailingly up to about one year ago, when his ailments bore him down to such an extent that he was obliged to relinquish his practice, being relieved by Dr. Charles A. Ballard.
Dr. Jessup was ever a very careful and painstaking physician, always ready to respond to the summons of suffering humanity, a kind, affectionate and devoted husband and father, and a loyal and patriotic citizen, with a pleasant smile and kind word for everybody. He was a devout and faithful member of the First Baptist church of this city for many years, and was one of the principal contributors at the time of the erection of the new church of that organization. He was also a liberal contributor to the Y.M.C.A. and to many charities throughout his long life.
Dr. Jessup was a member of Pacific Lodge No. 50, A.F. & A.M., and also of Protection Lodge No. 2, A.O.U.W.
