Dr. George Edgar Hoffman
Dr. George Edgar HOFFMAN, a pioneer citizen of this city passed away 1:30 a.m. today at his home 1012 South Madison street. Death which came suddenly was attributed to a coronary embolism. He had been in failing health for the past few years. He was downtown yesterday and voted and last evening he was seen in one of the restaurants where he was eating his supper.
Dr. Hoffman had followed his medical profession here in Rochester for practically all of his adult life with the exception of eight years which he spent as assistant superintendent of the Northern Indiana Hospital, at Logansport. He was one of the founders of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, of this city and for the past several years served as president of that institution.
He was born October 22, 1865 in Miami county, on a farm near Macy. His parents were Frederick and Susanna (ZIMMERMAN) HOFFMAN. He was married to Ethel YODER, of near Macy and she preceded him in death on January 28, 1924.
Dr. Hoffman was a graduate of Ann Arbor (Mich.) and Monmouth (Ill.) medical colleges. He was a member of the Fulton County Medical Association which organization presented him with a 50 year service pin a few years ago. During his long years of practice in this community he served several years as both city and county health officer. He was a keen student of civic, national and world affairs and was one of the leaders of the Rochester Great Books class.
Survivors are a son, John Frederick HOFFMAN, of Chicago; a brother Frederick HOFFMAN, of Long Beach, Calif., and a sister, Mrs. Clara RHODES, of this city.
Dr. Hoffman was a member of the Macy Methodist Church.
