Notable in Many Fields
Native of Washington, He Was One of the Founders of Georgetown University Hospital, and Was Its Dean—Aided in the Crusade That Purified the District’s Milk Supply.
Dr. G. Lloyd Magruder, former dean of Georgetown University Medical School, and responsible in a large measure for its founding, died last night at the age of 65 years, at Georgetown University Hospital, after an illness of several weeks.
Dr. Magruder was born in this city, November 1, 1848, and was the son of Thomas C. and Elizabeth O. Magruder.
He Won Many Honors.
In 1868 he graduated and had won many honors from Gonzaga College, with the degree of A. B., and later from Georgetown University with the degrees of A. M. and M. D. In 1882 he married Miss Bell Burns, daughter of Gen. W. W. Burns, U.S.A.
Dr. Magruder was one of the originators of the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital; a member of the consulting staff of Providence Hospital; a member of the board of visitors of the Government Hospital for the Insane for nine years, and a member of the Washington Academy of Science.
Bettered the Milk Supply.
Several years ago, when the movement was started for purer milk in the district of Columbia, Dr. Magruder was appointed one of the committee to submit a report on the condition of the milk supply in Washington. As a result of this carefully prepared report and the endeavors of Dr. Magruder, pasteurized milk was insured all residents of the city, and the example was followed by all great cities.
Dr. Magruder is survived by his wife, one daughter, Miss Pauline Magruder, of New York, and one son, Lieut. Burns Magruder, U.S.A. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
