ROCHESTER. N. Y. 



Death of W. J. Mandeville, 



Wilbur J. Mandeville, the well-kuown 

 seedsman, senior member of tlio firm of 

 Mandeville & King, died July 14, aged 50 

 years. 



He was born in Webster, February 9, 

 1S52, was graduated from the De Graif 

 Military Institute, and came to Eoehes- 

 ter at an early age. He was first con- 

 nected with the firm of S. Boardman & 

 Son, nurserymen and seedsmen. In 1875 

 he began business for himself in a small 

 way and gradually built up the immense 

 business of which he was the head at the 

 time of his death. 



In 1879 Mr. Mandeville became asso- 

 ciated with Herbert S. King under the 

 firm name of Mandeville & King, and on 

 the death of Mr. King in 1890 he formed 

 a partnership with Fred B. King under 

 the same firm name. This partnership 

 continued until a month or so ago, when 

 the business was incorporated under the 

 name of the Mandeville & King Com- 

 pany. 



Mr. Mandeville was the president of 

 the Mandeville & King Company, recent- 

 ly incorporated with a capital of $250,- 

 000; he was also vice president of the 

 Cleveland Seed Company, and a director 

 in the James Vick's Sons Company. All 

 three companies are more or less allied 

 and Mr. Mandeville was the controlling 

 spirit in each concern. 



Mr. Mandeville was a member of the 

 Chamber of Commerce. He was a public- 

 spirited citizen and a generous contrib- 

 utor to philanthropic enterprises. He 

 was a vestryman at St. Luke's church at 

 the time of his death. He was married 

 in 1876 to Harriet King, a sister of his 

 first partner, Herbert King. Besides his 

 widow, three children, Edna, Lois and 

 Arthur Mandeville, survive him.
