Obituary 
Our City sustained a severe loss yesterday in the death of 
two of her most active and useful citizens, Dr. J. Kearny Rodgers 
and Gardiner G. Howland. 
Dr. Rodgers had been seriously ill for some time with a 
typhoid fever, which terminated fatally at three o'clock yesterday 
morning. The deceased has occupied a prominent rank in his pro- 
fession for many years in this city, and at the time of his decease- 
in the fifty-eighth year of his age - was just reaching the meridian 
of his professional fame. He was one of the attending surgeons of 
the New York Hospital, one of the Trustees of the College of Physi- 
cians and Surgeons, one of the consulting surgeons of the Northern 
Dispensary, and a surgical director of the Eye and Ear Infirmary 
in Mercer street. His death has created a vacancy in the medical 
profession which few are competent to fill, and will be deplored 
by an unusually large circle of kindred and friends. The funeral 
services are appointed to take place at the First Presbyterian 
Church, Fifth avenue, to-morrow afternoon, at four o'clock precisely.
