Summary/Abstract: On September 30th, 1914, in Bucharest, around noon, a funeral procession took a silent itinerary from the street called Spătarului, number 13, towards the Șerban-Vodă cemetery. His mother, his wife and children, his close relatives, and his friends paid one last homage to Dimitrie I. Ghica. The central press included mentions of the one who had been an “ephoros of civilian hospitals; a former plenipotentiary minister; a former deputy and senator”. He passed away on September 28th, 1914, following a brief illness.
