campus. A kindly, genial, gentle man ; a gentleman in the true 

 meaning of this noble word ; a scholarly man, who had always a kind 

 word for every one who came to him, — such was the friend who has 

 gone from us. May the memory of his kindly life prove a benedic- 

 tion to those who knew him, and who tarry a little longer in. life's 

 vineyard. 



Henry T. Kelsey, of St. Joseph, Missouri, whose death occurred 

 during the latter part of 1895, was an honorary annual member of 

 the Nebraska State Horticultural Society, and was always greatly in- 

 terested in horticultural matters in this state. For many years Mr. 

 Kelsey conducted a large nursery business at St. Joseph, under the 

 style Kelsey & Co. Mr. Kelsey's business dealings were always con- 

 ducted on a basis of the highest integrity, and the death of few men 

 outside the state would cause a feeling of such personal loss to Ne- 

 braska nurserymen and horticulturists.
