George Paul Greeves (1806–1850)
The death of Dr [George Paul] Greeves, formerly of the River Ex, but lately resident in Geelong, has thrown a gloom over the town. For several days, he had been laboring under an attack of inflammation of the brain, but on Friday night appeared to be much better; before the morning, however, he, while in a state of delirium, laid violent hands upon himself, and before aid arrived was dead; an inquest was held on his remains in the afternoon. The deceased was esteemed as much for his amiable qualities as for his professional skill and acquirements.
