  Notes	He is mentioned as Hugh Pratt (no wife’s name listed), surviving stepson of Mildred Giddings, in Mildred’s obit. An article in the Binghamton (N.Y.) Press, dated April 22, 1946, announced: Oneonta - Mr. and Mrs. William W. Watkins of 46 Elm Street have announced the engagement of their daughter, Kate Louise Watkins, to Hugh McLean Pratt, son of Hazen C. Pratt of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Jean McLean Pratt of Rochester. Miss Watkins, whose father is superintendent of the City Water Department, is a student at the University of Rochester. She attended Oneonta High School and Northfield School for Girls. Mr. Pratt is a graduate of Avon School in Connecticut, and formerly was enrolled in the Navy’s V-12 program. He also is attending the University of Rochester where he will enter the College of Medicine in the fall. (”Avon School” probably refers to Avon Old Farms School, a private boys’ high school in Avon, Connecticut.) His obit, which does not mention his half-siblings: Hugh McLean Pratt, 87, died July 1, 2013, while visiting his daughter and her family in New Hampshire. He was born in Rochester, N.Y., on May 28, 1926, to Jean and Hazen Pratt. He graduated from the University of Rochester Medical School in 1950 and went on to receive further training in internal medicine. From 1952-1955 he served in the Navy as a flight surgeon. In 1955, Hugh and his wife, Kit, moved to North Canton, Ohio. From 1960 until 1997 Hugh practiced internal medicine at the North Canton Medical Foundation where he was beloved by his patients. From 1997 to 2001 he was a part-time Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at Mercy Hospital in Canton. Hugh is remembered by his patients for his care and great kindness and by his family for his love of nature, birding, and photography. He was active in the development of the Wilderness Center in Wilmot and served as treasurer for Meals on Wheels in North Canton for many years. At the time of his death Hugh was very actively involved in the Copeland Oaks and Sebring Presbyterian Church communities. Hugh's wife of 58 years, Kit, died in 2005.
