DR. WILLIAM SPANKIE
Was Typical of the Country Practitioner
Dr. William Spankie, M.P., who died on Sunday, was one of the last of the old-time country doctors. While on Wolfe Island for 45 years he attended families to the third generation. His practice extended over an island 22 miles long. He had several narrow escapes while attending the sick in winter time. While driving over icebound bays and rivers, he was nearly drowned when his horse and cutter broke through the ice. A son was with him at the time.
A strong and powerful man, Dr. Spankie tossed the son to strong ice and managed to roll out of the water. He also was a noted boxer and runner of his younger days.
On one occasion he was called to attend an islander, ill with pneumonia, and he had to construct a tent from bed clothes to keep the snow out of the little shack in which the sick man lived. On his return journey he was lost in the storm and found himself on the ice of the American channel opposite Cape Vincent, N.Y.
