THOMAS BOOTH BRIERLEY - SHEFFIELD 1895
I came across this obituary whilst I was assisting a researcher who was trying to obtain more information about Sheffield's original Children's hospital which was also known as the Wicker Hospital.
It is from the Cheshire Observer (Chester, England), Saturday, May 18, 1895; pg. 8; Issue 2232. under the title
The cause of death was blood -poisoning or as it is called nowadays SEPSIS. It must have been an extremely vigorous in its form, for Dr Brierley was only 26 and in the prime of life, when he died. It must also have been a cruel blow to his parents. The same newspaper the previous month (20th April 1895) reported the death , after " a lingering Illness" of Mr J C Brierley who was Thomas's Uncle and the brother of his father
As for Thomas's father he lived until 1917 and the ripe old age of 84. The British Medical Journal carried the following obituary
