All Colfax and eastern Washington was shocked to learn of the critical illness followed by the sudden death of Dr. Wm. Clay Cardwell at 6 o'clock Tuesday night. Leukemia, a rare blood disease little understood and for which medical science knows no help, was the cause of death. Dr. Cardwell was not feeling perfectly well when he went east early in November to attend the surgeons congress in Philadelphia as a delegate from the state of Washington. While in New York a minor operation was performed to remove a gland from the doctor's throat and it was during this operation that the surgeons discovered the presence of the fatal disease. A careful examination and diagnosis was made by the best doctors in America. There was no mistake about the presence of the symptoms of leukemia. All that remained for the doctor to do was to return home and arrange his business affairs. His condition was made known to only his family and a very few intimate friends. He was in his office nearly every day through December until Thursday afternoon of last week when he was suddenly taken worse and removed to St. Ignatius hospital. His condition was reporter as critical on Sunday. He lingered until late Tuesday afternoon, rational and able to talk until almost the last moment. Dr. Cardwell was 36 years of age last June. At an early age he decided to take up the study of medicine and before he was 21 years old he was practicing at Carollton, Ark., his birthplace. He was an untiring student and before completing his professional training had graduated from Marion Sims Medical college at St. Louis, Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Term., and the Polyclinic school of New York. He was also an annual visitor at the best surgical clinics in the United States. Before coming west Dr. Cardwell practiced at Ripley, Term., where he was also a railroad surgeon. About 11 years ago he came to Pomeroy in Garfield county, where he practiced in partnership with Dr. Kuykendall until he came to Colfax a little over three years ago. During his stay here he practiced with marked success and was considered one of the bright surgeons of the Northwest. The Whitman County Pythian society will miss an ex-president and active worker. The doctor was also a member of the Washington Medical Society and the American Medical association. He was also recently appointed surgeon for the Spokane and Inland railroad. While living in Pomeroy Dr. Cardwell married Miss Grace Crofford, who survives as does one daughter, Elizabeth, four years of age. He is also survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Cardwell, three brothers, C. W., Frank and H. H., and three sisters, Mrs. J. A. Gardner of Spokane, Mrs. R. D. Williams of Pomeroy and Miss Beulah Cardwell of Pomeroy. The father and three sons are in business in Pomeroy under the name of J. N. Cardwell & Sons and conduct the largest department store in Garfield county. They began business there about the same time that Dr. Cardwell began to practice medicine there. All three brothers were visitors here during the last few days of the doctor's illness. At the time of his death Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Cardwell, Frank Cardwell and Mrs. Cardwell's sister, Mrs. Catherine Elsensohn, were at the bedside. The body of Dr. Cardwell was taken to Pomeroy Wednesday. A large delegation of Knights of Pythias accompanied the body to the 0.W.R.& N. station and several members of the lodge went to Hay where they were met by a delegation from the Pomeroy lodge. George Neil, as a representative of the local lodge, accompanied the relatives to Pomeroy. Funeral services were held at the home of the parents in Pomeroy Thursday and burial was in the Pomeroy cemetery. The Colfax Gazette, Colfax, Whitman County,Wash.
