THE FORUM Vol. 7, NO. 31. SPRINGFIELD, ULL., SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 1910. 15C A MONTH DECATUR NEWS. A deep cloud of mourning hangs over the otherwise gay Decatur this week, caused by that most tragetic event which marked the death of one of the state's most popular physicians, Dr. Ganaway, and his wife. This, also, marks an epoch in the march of progress of the city's colored population, because never has a practically unknown quantity entered a great community as the late Dr. Ganaway did, and within the short period of time which the Almighty allotted him steadily tread the obstinate waves of competition, and braved the mighty storms of opposition, and forge his way to the zenith. When Dr. Ganaway came to Decatur, six and one-half years ago, his was not a great practical reputation, being fresh from school. But before two years had elapsed he had a practice which was the envy of even his white competitors. This patronage not only continued, but increased so that up to the time of his death he had succeeded in not only building up a practice second to none in the city, but had gradually emplanted himself in the hearts of his fellow-citizens. This latter fact was further testified to when the Doctor barely missed election to an important office by a mere handful of votes, beating out an opponent by several hundred counts who had been a resident of the community for half a century. Dr. Ganaway was a member of the K. P., Masons, and numerous other organization, including St. Peter's Church of this city, and it goes without saying that he was always among the most popular men in any of them. In fact, the Doctor was looked upon by both white and colored as the logical leader of his race in Decatur. The funeral was held in the great First Methodist Church (white), which was packed to and beyond its seating and standing capacity. Indeed, many were unable to gain entrance at all. Rev. Morrow of St. Peter's Chapel preached the funeral sermon and paid a most glowing and intellectual tribute to the deeds and achievements of the Doctor and his wife. The large audience was fairly dotted with white friends who insisted on getting a last glimpse of and hearing the last words said over the remains of their lost protege. It was the first double burial in Decatur, and the proces- "Be ve doers and not sayers only." sion was one of the longest seen here in years. It is a very difficult matter to fill the doctor's shoes in this city, and it will be many a day before undulating vibrations caused by this terrible shock have subsided. The Decatur Review said: "Dr. Ganaway was probably the most influential Colored man in the city, and his loss will be keenly felt by the residents of this city." The Decatur Herald said: "No other Colored citizen had won the confidence and respect of the Decatur people as had Dr. Ganaway." — Decatur Correspondent. MATTOON NEWS NOTES Grand Master Geo.
