Century Memorial
Dr. Walter De Forest Day was a man who was held in love and honor by troops of friends, and justified their regard for him in the fullest degree. He occupied one of the most responsible positions in the Health Department of this city, from the time of its establishment until a short time before his death, and proved himself to be a model public servant, earnest, faithful, intelligent and of rare integrity. He bore his last painful illness with characteristic courage and cheerfulness, and has left an unfading memory behind him.
