\emdash On February 27, a desperate attempt was made to assassinate Dr. Alexander Neil, one of the leading physicians of Columbus, Ohio, by an unknown man who asked him to go to see his wife and who presented a pistol at his head when he declined to go because he was ill, and offered to send some medicine.

Obituary.

Dr. Alexander Neil, one of the best known physicians of this city, died February 14, from a complication of diseases, chief among which were weak heart, and dropsy, resulting from an attack of grippe early in the winter.

Dr. Neil was born in the village of Eden, Delaware County, December 12, 1838. He was educated in the public schools of Delaware County and at Ohio Wesleyan University, from which institution he was graduated in 1858. He began the study of medicine with Dr. George C. Blackburn. He attended the Medical College of Ohio and the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, graduating from the latter institution in 1861. He enlisted soon after his graduation as a surgeon, serving four years in the Army of the Potomac. During the latter part of the war he served on the staff of Gen. H. P. Sheridan as medical purveyor of the Valley Medical Department. At the close of the war he began the practice of medicine at Sunbury, Ohio, coming to Columbus in 1870, and living here continuously ever since. While at Sunbury he was married in 1865 to Miss Marietta Elliott, daughter of Hon. David H. Elliott.

Three daughters survive, Mrs. D. R. Kinsell, wife of Dr. Denman R. Kinsell, Jr., and the Misses Dessie and Goldie Neil. The doctor had been a member of the Masonic Order since 1864. Soon after the close of the war Dr. Neil spent a year studying in the hospitals of London, England. He was president of the Columbus Academy of Medicine in 1878, and was a member of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association and the American Medical Association, and a member of the Columbus Board of Education from 1872 to 1888.
