Dr. Eggleston mentioned on page 10 died less than a year ago:
Charleston – DuBose Egleston, Jr., M.D., 98, of Charleston, died Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Visitation will be on Friday, April 26, 2013 at 1:30 P.M. in the chapel at Bishop Gadsden Retirement Home, with a Requiem Mass to follow it at 2. He was born May 9, 1914 in Augusta, Georgia, the son of DuBose Egleston, Sr. and Marie Mahoney Egleston, and the brother of John Marion Egleston. His earliest datable memory was the Great Augusta Fire of March 22, 1916. His father was yardmaster for the Augusta rail yard, and he spoke of riding home with his father on the cattle catcher. He was a classmate of Ty Cobb’s son, Herschel, and he played football with Herschel. He said that Ty Cobb took home movies of the practices. He was an Eagle Scout and a lifeguard, and attended Richmond Academy. He had two uncles and a cousin who were medical doctors, and as a boy he accompanied his Uncle Willie (William Egleston, M.D.) on house calls. He graduated from the University of Georgia Medical College in 1938. While there he was a resident of Virgil P. Sydenstricker, M.D., and he assisted Hervey M. Cleckey, M.D.; he is thanked by name (his name is misspelled) in all copies of Cleckley’s “The Mask of Sanity”. He joined the Army in 1940, studied at the Mayo Clinic, and served in World War II, attaining the rank of Major. He was a combat surgeon for the Chinese during the Salween River Campaign. He took many photographs in China and Burma, and he was present at the opening of the Burma Road. He wrote about his war experiences in a 22-page memoir. He was awarded the bronze star, with oak leaf cluster, and the Breast Order of Cloud (Order of the Cloud and Banner) medal of the Republic of China. He married Genevieve Ruth Morgan, a native of Baton Rouge, on November 10, 1941.
The couple moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in 1947. He shared a general surgery practice with Roger Doughty, M.D. until Doughty’s death a few years later. The couple’s first residence was off of Belt Line Boulevard; his first office was on Devine Street on the second floor above what is now Yesterday’s. He built a new home at 1534 Berkeley Road, and after a few years he built a home at 10 Heathwood Circle next door to Governor James F. Byrnes. Michael Egleston tells the story of neighbor (not Governor Byrnes) asking him to contribute to a fund to buy off a Jewish person who had bought property in the neighborhood, and him refusing, saying he had no problem with the person being Jewish. His office moved many times. I remember that he was on Bull Street and in two places on Hampton Street. He retired in 1988, and moved to Charleston in 2005. He was a member and past president of the Medical Journal Club and the South Carolina Surgical Association, and a board certified member of the American College of Surgeons and the International College of Surgeons.
He loved the game of tennis, playing for much of his life, and he was a contract bridge player; in recent years he worked many jigsaw puzzles. He was an avid reader, and after his retirement he and his wife attended over fifty Elderhostels. He was a great fan of Gamecock football.
In an autobiographical statement he said “You might say I have been a devout Catholic and have prayed twice a day all my life”. He was a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus. In Columbia he attended St. Joseph’s Church and in Charleston he attended the Church of the Nativity. Most Saturdays found him and his son, David, at the 5:30 P.M. Saturday Vigil Mass. He was last at this Mass on April 21, 2013. Nativity pastor, the Rev. Thomas Kingsley, will conduct his funeral.
Genevieve (his wife of 67 years) died on January 31, 2009. After Mass he will be buried alongside her in Holy Cross Cemetery, Charleston. Dr. Egleston is survived by three sons David Egleston, M.D. (Francie), Charles (Terry), and Michael (Lee Anne); six grandchildren (DuBose, Anne, Patrick, Sophie, Derrick, and Henry); three great-grandchildren (DuBose, Mills, and Ellie), and by cousin Chelle Delaney Simpson, who called him “Uncle D”, the term used by her parents to describe Dr. Egleston’s father, DuBose Egleston, Sr.
