摘要：In the passing of Dr. H. Winnett Orr of Lincoln, Nebraska, the Medical Library Association has lost a valued honorary member and an understanding friend. Dr. Orr was born in West Newton, Pennsylvania and moved to Nebraska during his boyhood. He graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1895 and from the University of Michigan School of Medicine in 1899. He began active practice in orthopedic surgery in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1899 and continued his work there until shortly before his death, except for the interruption entailed by his military service in World War I. He served with the Medical Corps from May 18, 1917 until June 1, 1919, at which time he became a colonel in the Medical Corps, U. S. Army Reserve, with special assignment as consultant in orthopedic surgery. The method which he advocated for the treatment of compound fractures and osteomyelitis bears his name. Dr. Orr was at hand to receive the first patients at the Nebraska Orthopedic Hospital (Lincoln) in 1905 and he greatly enjoyed its fiftieth anniversary celebration, September 30, 1955, at which time he, too, was honored.
