Death of Isaac C.- Martindale. 
The readers of the BuLLETIN will receive with deep sorrow the 
news of the sudden death of Isaac C. Martindale from apoplexy, 
at his home, No. 322 Penn street, Camden, N. J. 
Mr. Martindale was born in Byberry, Philadelphia county, Pa., 
July 15, 1842. _ His parents were members of the Society of 
Friends, and his early education was acquired chiefly in schools 
under their control. His father was a descendant of John Martin- 
dell, who early settled in Bucks county, Pa. Many of the family 
have become prominent in the history of that region. His ancestry 
on both sides had shown literary ability which he inherited, while 
there was also in him an inherent love for nature. He began the 
study of natural history while on his father’s farm, and in spite of 
of lack of books he acquired considerable scientific knowledge in 
all its departments. He left the farm to become a clerk in a 
bank at Byberry. In 1875 he was appointed Cashier of the Na-  _ 
tional State Bank of Camden, the duties of which he performed 
with great fidelity. A few years ago some of his friends estab- 
lished the Camden National Bank, the cashiership of which was 
confided to him. He had been for the last three years Treasurer — 
of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, a position in — 
which his financial ability made him eminently useful. . 
The study of botany, in whatever hours he could snatch from 
his daily duties, was to him a welcome relaxation. He early made | 
himself acquainted with the plants in the vicinity of Byberry. Ag
