The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JULY 26. 1900. 



CHELLICOTHE, O. 



That William Mi-Kellar. the florist 

 and nurseryman, whose death was re- 

 corded in the Review last week, was 

 most highly regarded by his neighbors 

 is well shown by the words of sorrow 

 and sympathy printed by the local 

 papers. We print some extracts be- 

 low. 



After a lingering illness of eleven weeks. 

 Mr. William McKellar passed to his final 

 xeward at 3:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon 

 at his home on Eastern avenue. 



He was first taken ill with la grippe, which 

 finalls" terminated in athetosis, and with this 

 disease the deceased had lain in an un- 

 conscious state during the last week of his 

 Illness. His sufferings were excruciating, and 

 although the body was racked with pain, it 

 was borne with the meekness and humility of 

 a devout Christian, characteristic of the 

 deceased during his long and useful life. 

 Throughout his illnes he submitted to the in- 

 evitable with gentle resignation and at the 

 last passed peacefully into that rest which 

 knows no awakening. His death was but 

 the crowning event of a Christian life, whose 

 good deeds will ever live as a monument to 

 his name. 



In his death. Chillicothe loses one of her 

 most enterprising citizens of whom it may be 

 truly said the town was better for his having 

 lived in it. He w'as a man of great integ- 

 rity and his life's work in horticulture was 

 an evidence of his great love for all that was 

 dear to nature's God. 



The deceased was born at Paisley. Scotland, 

 .Tanuary 31st. 1S33, and consequently was in 

 his 68th year. At the age of 14 he received 

 his apprenticeship in horticulture under the 

 Buke of Argj'le and at 17 he came to America, 

 locating in the East, where he lived for 

 several years. Afterward he removed to St. 

 Louis, remaining only a few years. From 

 there he moved to Ironton and finally located 

 in this city at the present homestead, where 

 he has conducted his business successfully for 

 the past thirty-seven years. 



He was married to Mar\- Johnson at 

 Ironton. October 3rd, 1859. His beloved wife 

 preceded him to the great beyond about ten 

 years ago. 



The deceased leaves eight children and two 

 brothers to mourn his demise. The children 

 are Mrs. Theodore Miller, who resides at home, 

 Mr. James McKellar. of Columbus. Mrs. John 

 Hancock, of Columbus. Mr. Charles McKellar, 

 of Chicago, Miss Daisy, Arthur and Oliver 

 who lived at home and Albert, who is in the 

 Philippines. All the children, with the ex- 

 ception of the last named, were in con.stant 

 attendance- at their father's bedside during 

 his last illness and administered tn his every 

 want and neeti. His brothers are Mr. Oforge 

 McKellar. of Wheeling. W. Va., and Mr. 

 Joseph McKellar, of Philadelphia. Pa.

RIBBONS. 



One of the neatest bits of printing 

 we have seen is the new list of flor- 

 ists' ribbons recently issued by E. li. 

 Hunt. Chicago. It is printed in .hree 

 colors on enamelled paper, the com- 

 position is first class, and it :ontains 

 a great deal of useful information re- 

 garding the line of goods listed. The 

 pages are tied together with silk tord.
