FREDERIC AUGUSTUS MEGOWAN
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE ON THE
28TH JANUARY 1860
IN HIS 27TH YEAR.
Out cycling this morning (July 19, 2013) I passed
the Residency, climbed the slope to the Daliganj bridge and rolled down the other side with the Imambaras in mind. I had already been that side
twice this week! Then I remembered the memorial to Muslim Poet Meer near the City Station, so I rode up Shahmina Road towards the
King George's Medical University (formerly College), and then towards Golaganj. After taking a couple of pictures of the Meer Memorial I headed past Christian College towards the Balrampur Hospital. In 1950-60 my brother, Richard was admitted there for the removal of his tonsils. I had then seen a grave outside one of the wards and at some point of time concluded that a doctor was buried here, so I stopped by to take a picture and get the name etc. The grave is in good condition because its in a place where no one goes.
On getting home I checked the net for information on FA Megowan and came up with a letter from from Dr Rosie Llewellyn-Jones, in reply to a query by Dr Anil Nautiyal. Dr Nautiyal, an old Martinian, has worked at this hospital for many years.
