1. Obituary: Obituary of Dr. Abraham Clifford Wolf Beecher. On 18 Nov 1893 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. ² Dr. Abraham Clifford Wolf Beecher, who was stricken with apoplexy in the Masonic Temple, died November 7. Dr. Beecher was born in Bainbridge, Lancaster County, Mary 26, 1859. He was the son of Jacob F. Beecher, for a number of years a wholesale dry good merchant of this city. He removed to Philadelphia with his parents in 1852, and after studying in the public schools entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, but later abandoned the study of pharmacy for that of medicine, graduating from Jefferson College in 1867. For two years thereafter he was resident physician at the Philadelphia Hospital, and later acted as assistant to the late Professors Wallace and Meigs at Jefferson Medical College, where he also became Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy, holding the latter position for a number of years. About four years ago he resigned, devoting himself entirely to his private practice.
