S. embassy announced last night. He was 68. At his side were his two sons, Sterling and John, and his hospital staff. The U.

S. embassy here reported last Wednesday that Dr. Seagrave was critically ill at his jungle hospital, suffering from several ailments, including a weak heart. The hospital is 800 miles north of Rangoon and only five miles from the border with Communist China. Struggles for Hospital In the last two years, Seagrave had fought to keep his nonsectarian hospital operating despite restrictions of the Burmese government, which is striving toward nationalization of its resources.

A decree revoked permits of two of his doctor assistants. A government grant of $10,000 yearly was not renewed. Drugs and i i es previously brought in duty-free from the United States were taxd. But with private contributions from Burmese and Americans and with income from his books such as Burma Surgeon and My Hospital in the Hills he fought to keep his 250-bed hospital going. Seagrave was born in Burma March 18, 1897, the son of the Rev.

and Mrs. A. S. Seagrave, Baptist missionaries. His greatgrandfather and his grandfather served as missionaries in Burma before him.

Educated in U. S. When he was 12, the family returned to the United States and settled at Granville, O. He was graduated from Johns Hopkins with a medical degree in 11)21 and the next year with his wife, the former Marion G. Morse, returned to Burma.

At Namhkam, he found a rotten wooden building, its floors soaked with blood, and one patient. Through the years he built it into a 22-building hospital compound serving 5,000 patients a year. When Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell arrived in World War II to take command of the American Army, Seagrave placed his facilities at the general's disposal and was commissioned a major in the medical corps.

When the Japanese drove Stilwell out of Burma, Seagrave was along on the long march, arriving in India with his feet covered with sores and his body racked by malaria. In 1944 Seagrave returned to Burma with the victorious allies and found his hospital in ruins. He rebuilt it. He designed many of the cobblestone and concrete buildings himself. Dr.

had told those close to him that it was his wish to be buried there. A telegram from his son, Sterling, to the U. S. embassy here said funeral services would be held Wednesday and he will be buried in a grave next to that of his sister Grace, who died at Namhkam in 1951.
