• Notes

  Montgomery Advertiser June 22, 1922 Dr. P. Sauve Rhett, one of the popular young men of Montgomery and an esteemed employee of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company died about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. R. Taber, 720 South Perry Street, after an illness of several weeks duration. But few of Dr. Rhett’s friends knew that he was ill and those who knew of his illness did not realize his condition was critical. The news of his death spread rapidly over the city and came as a shock to his friends. Dr. Rhett was taken ill about three weeks ago with malarial fever and up to a few days ago was improving but a sudden change in his condition developed yesterday Tuesday afternoon and from that time to his death he grew gradually worse. Dr. Rhett was born October 4, 1867, in Charleston, S.C. and was a son of the late Benjamin S. Rhett, a distinguished citizen of that city and a member of the celebrated Rhett family of South Carolinsa. He was educated in the schools of Charleston and at the University of Virginia. After leaving college at Charlottesville, Dr. Rhett entered the Medical School at Tulane University at New Orleans and was graduated from that institution. He practiced his profession for some years in Mississippi but gave it up several years ago because he found it unsuited to his taste. Dr. Rhett came to Montgomery about seven years ago and has since that time made his home in this city. He was a man of fine mental attainment. His affable disposition and polished manners made him friends wherever he went and to know him was to like him. Two sisters, Mrs. E. R. Taber of Montgomery and Mrs. I. D. Hasell of Charleston survive him.
