PHYSICIAN DIES AT HOME OF A PATIENT
Dr. J.H. MacCallum Succumbs to Heart Attack

Dr. John H. MACCALLUM, of No. 619 Monroe avenue, died suddenly last evening when making a professional call at the home of William RAUBER, No. 73 Evergreen street.

Dr. MACCALLUM had gone in a street car to Evergreen street and started to walk to the home of his patient. When in front of the house he was stricken with heart trouble and signaled to Fred KELLNER of No. 38 Durgin street, who happened to be passing, for help. He asked to be helped into the RAUBER residence, and once inside he collapsed. A call was sent to Dr. M.S. COLLIER, of No. 680 Clinton avenue north, who as soon as he made an examination pronounced Dr. MACCALLUM dead. Coroner SMITH granted a certificate of death from heart trouble and the body was removed to an undertaker's for the night.
Dr. MACCALLUM was 57 years old on Saturday. He has been practicing in Rochester for thirty years and was very well known. He had a large practice and was a member of state and county medical associations, Valley Lodge, F. and A.M., Rochester Consistory and Monroe Commandery.
Dr. MACCALLUM leaves a wife, Hattie CLARK MACCALLUM; a son, Harold MACCALLUM at Harvard University, and a daughter, Miss Lillian MACCALLUM, at home. He leaves also his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archibald MACCALLUM, of No. 7 Almira street, who will reach the sixty-fourth anniversary of their marriage on March 13th; a brother, William MACCALLUM, of Rochester and four sisters, Mrs. Charles COCHRANE of Alden and Mrs. A.C. HERMANCE and the Misses Maud and Lucy MACCALLUM, of Rochester.
