604 Dr. Charles Mohr 



gave him opportunity for making observations and collecting valu- 

 able notes on the hard-wood trees of that section. His last illness 

 came on suddenly after a day spent in the herbarium where he 

 was greatly interested in the new species of Crataegus, there being 

 worked out by Mr. Beadle, and in the accessions constantly coming 

 in from the collectors in the different parts of the country, espe- 



cially the South. 



He died at Ashville 17 July, 1901. 



Personally, Dr. Mohr was one of the gentlest and most lov- 

 able of men, totally devoid of affectation and pretense, making fast 

 friends with old and young wherever he went, and inspiring in 

 them love and respect for the fullness and accuracy of his knowl- 

 edge and for the nobility of his character. 



The amount and quality of the botanical work accomplished 

 by him fills us with admiration when we consider that it was done 

 in hours that otherwise would have been hours of rest and recre- 

 ation. His unselfish devotion to science is coming to be appre- 

 ciated and the name of Charles Mohr will long be held in loving 

 remembrance by all who recognize and honor true merit.
