Obituary:
From Journal of the Maine Medical Association, vol. 10, 1920:
Elizabeth Kingman Horr
1835-1920
[Note: headstone gives birth year as 1833]
We regret to announce the death, at an advanced age, of Dr. Elizabeth Horr, widow of a physician once famous in medical Maine, Dr. O. A. Horr, of Lewiston. Those of us who are sixty years of age, or over, will recall vividly the steady appearance at our meetings, for years, of Dr. O. A. Horr, both on account of his striking personality and for his keenness of debate on almost every paper presented. He was indeed ubiquitous with us for years, and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Horr, was equally a fluent speaker on many occasions. Together, too, they practiced medicine from the same home, one as it were, supplementing the work of the other. Dr. Elizabeth Horr was a nurse in the Civil War, one of the earliest women physicians in Maine, and she owed much of her great success by keeping out of politics as much as she could, and also out of too prominent progress on the part of women.
It is rare in the annals of medicine to be able to bear testimony to the unity of medical work accomplished by this active, capable, and happily wedded pair of medical practitioners, and for that reason we stop a moment to think it over, and to write these few words of farewell to a worker, lately laid to rest, and of a memorial to her husband, both of them once famous personages in the ranks of our Association.
In the absence of additional information concerning the death of Dr. Elizabeth Kingman Horr, we state, as a matter of historic fact, that she died suddenly at Waterford at the age of 85, in May, 1920, having retired there after a long and honorable practice in Lewiston soon after the death of her much admired husband. -- J. A. S.
