SUMMER MEETING. 95 



«, farm the next spring, 18G7, where he has resided ever since, follow- 

 ing farming and fruit-growing. 



Experiment work in fruits and vegetables was his greatest pleas- 

 ure, buying and trying many of the new varieties offered ; he also tried 

 his hand at raising seedlings of different varieties of fruit, in which he 

 had some success, having raised a seedling grape of the Elvira, which 

 is very promising. 



He leaves a widow (having married again October 9, 1867) and 8 

 -children. May he rest in peace. Yours respectfully, 



Otto Segessemann.
