"Dr. Ivo W. Buddeke died yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his residence, 1143 Poplar Street. His illness was of short duration. The announcement will be a shock to the entire city. He was taken sick Sunday morning, after returning from church. His malady was supposed to be a chill, but it was so severe in its nature that Drs. Karsh and Morrow were called. The physicians pronounced the chill to be congestive in its nature. It was believed that the attack was not dangerous, and it was supposed that the patient was recovering, but yesterday morning another attack presented itself. The two medical men were again called. Their efforts were unavailing. Death came in the afternoon.

All the members of the family were about him at the time.

Dr. Buddeke was not a native of Memphis. He came to this city late in 1877, having been born in Nashville, Tenn., in 1852. He attended school in the later city until graduating with honors, then applied himself to a course of medicine, taking a degree from the Cincinnati Medical College in 1875. From the medical school, Dr. Buddeke returned to Nashville, remained in his home town for two years, and then moved to Memphis.

Fought the Fever. (Yellow Fever)

The young physician reached Memphis in time to share in the dreadful days of the fever epidemics of 1878 and 1879. His work and heroic devotion in the battle waged with this malignant enemy gained for him the love and honor of his fellows. In 1878 he contracted the disease, rallied from its ravages, and, though weak and unfit for the fight, again entered the ranks of the heroic few whose efforts saved the city from complete destruction. In 1879 Dr. Buddeke was once more found in the front ranks of those who were a second time called on to struggle with the horrors of the plague, and with characteristic devotion and love for his fellow-being, the physician responded gallantly to the call.

On December 5, 1885, Dr. Buddeke married Miss Blanche Speed, a daughter of one of the oldest families in Memphis. His brave yet gentle character and the genial, loving disposition endeared him to all who met him, and his wisdom as a man and his ability as a physician marked him as one of the most distinguished practitioners of the South.

Was a Homeopathiest.

Dr. Buddeke practiced medicine from the standpoint of the homeopathist. Comparatively, the number of physicians in this field is small. In it he knows no superior. His high character and sterling worth gained him the respect and the confidence of the practitioners of both phases of medicine, and his splendid manhood and useful life won the affections of the entire public. His death is a public calamity, and his family, consisting of the widow, one son, two daughters, a sister, Mrs. L.M. Karsh, and a brother, J.H. Buddeke, have the sympathy of the city.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but it will take place Wednesday, from Sacred Heart Church. The interment will be in Calvary Cemetery."
