George McGilchrist, son of Mr. and Mrs. William McGilchrist, Sr., prominent Marion county residents, died at a local hospital Monday afternoon at 4:30 oÂ’clock, about an hour after an emergency operation had been performed to relieve a case of acute appendicitis. Mr. McGilchrist was in excellent health Wednesday afternoon and became suddenly ill Thursday morning. He was removed to the hospital Monday. He died without coming out from under effects of the anaesthetic.
Mr. McGilchrist was well known in Salem. He was born near this city, in the Red Hills district, February 29, 1896, and attended the public schools at Rosedale and later high school there. Following graduation from high school he enrolled at Oregon State college his studies there being interrupted for two years during the World war while he wore his country’s khaki. Following the war, he returned to Corvallis and was graduated from the college about 1920. Upon completion of his college course, he went to Albany and established a restaurant, which he conducted until this spring, since when he had divided his time between the parental home and improvement of an acreage south of Albany.
