Bohannon Expires Suddenly Dr. Richard Lee Bohannon, for many years one of the city's leading physicians, died suddenly yesterday at his home, 452 Atlantic St., from an attack of heart trouble. Dr. Bohannon's death was very sudden. Saturday he made his customary calls on a number of patients in the rural district of the county. Early Sunday morning, he awoke and called to his wife, expiring shortly after she reached his bedside. Dr. Bohannon had been troubled with his heart at different intervals but was in poor health as of late. However, he had been able to attend to his practice up to the time of his death. During his long medical career here he had made a host of friends, and numbered them among all classes. By nature he was genial and possessed of a strong sympathetic temperment and had during his lifetime accomplished many charitable acts in a quiet way. Dr. Bohannon was passionately fond of the great outdoors. He owned a number of horses and dogs. Hunting was his favorite pastime. He was president of the Brunswick Fox Hunting Club of Massachusetts. Dr. Bohannon was born in Mathews County, Va. in 1850, and was a graduate of Chesapeake Academy and the New York University Medical College in 1874. He began the practice of medicine here shortly afterward in Darien, moving to Stamford about 1885. He married Miss Ella Beers, of Darien.
