Dr. Neil J. McColl, 71, former mayor of Croswell, practicing physician and surgeon 50 years, died Sunday in his home, 1117 Pine Grove Avenue after an illness of five months.
Dr. McColl, born 27 Aug 1876, in Clachan, Ont., was graduated by the University of Indiana Medical school in 1898. He began practice with his brother, Dr. D. J. McColl, in Elkton, Huron County, Michigan. Dr. McColl was first mayor of Whittemore, Michigan, after the city was incorporated. In 1911 he moved to Croswell where he practiced until 1928.
He was elected Mayor of that city in 1922, serving two terms. From 1928 to 1930, Dr. McColl lived in California to rest and regain his health. He resumed practice with his brother in Port Huron in 1930.
He was well known as an inveterate traveler, having been twice around the world. At the time of his election as mayor of Croswell, he took the oath of office in Paris, France. His travel tales were in demand at speaking engagements.
He and Miss Jennie Hanes, Akron, Ohio, were married in 1900.
Dr. McColl is survived by his widow; two brothers, Dr. McColl and Hugh A. McColl, Windsor, Ontario, and four nephews and five nieces.
He was a charter member and first president of the Croswell Rotary Club, life member of the Port Huron Rotary Club, member of Croswell Lodge No. 469, F. & A. M. and member of the First Baptist Church here.
Funeral services will be conducted at 4 pm Tue in the family home. Rev. Roland M. Traver, pastor of First Baptist church assisted by Rev. E. J. Soell, pastor of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Church, will officiate. Burial will be in Lakeside Cemetery.
The remains are in the family home. Dr. W. A. Schafer, Dr. H. O. Brush, Dr. C. F. Thomas, Dr. E. C. Sites, Dr. Donald A. Pollack and George C. Higgins, all of Port Huron, and Dr. H. H.
