A LETTER TO THE DONORS OF 

 THE SCOTT MEMORIAL FUND. 



Dear Friends; 



Ever since the movement was started 

 to erect a monument to my beloved 

 husband I wanted to thank you for 

 your kind thoughts. The idea, start- 

 ing as it did in the minds of a few, 

 soon spread into many and later at 

 Niagara F'alls, when in so short a time 

 the sum suIHcient to place the stone 

 was raised, I felt that it was a true 

 and sincere appreciation for that 

 which he had given you. Whatever he 

 did for the profession of floriculture 

 and the florists' themselves, he did 

 with all the willingness he could put 

 forth. Shakespeare said, "The evil 

 that men do lives after them; the good 

 l.s oft interred with their bones." Al- 

 though true in cases, it was not so 

 with my dear husband, for no greater 

 tribute could be paid to the dead than 

 that which you have erected to his 

 memory. When, as in this case, one 

 dear in memory to you, we stand and 

 read what you have said, which is all 

 that could be said of any man however 

 great in the hall of fame, the massive 

 stone and coldness of the situation dis- 

 appears and only that remains which 

 means so much to us. 



I wish I could thank you one and all 

 for myself and family, but I will re- 

 sort to the press who have been so 

 kind in this matter. 



Very sincerely, 



MRS. WM. SCOTT AND FAMILY. 



Obituary, 



Marie C.HauswIrth. 

 The death of Mrs. Marie C. Haus- 

 wirth of the firm of M. C. & J. E. 

 Hauswirth, Chicago, on Friday, March 

 19, came as a great shock to her many 

 friends. At her request the news of 

 her illness had been kept ti-om most of 

 her acquaint.inoes and few knew that 



Marie C. Hauswirth and Grandchild 



she was not in her usual health till 

 informed of her death. Mrs. Haus- 

 wirth was taken ill on Mar. 12 and 

 removed to the German Hospital, 

 where an operation for appendicitis 

 was performed March 17, from which 

 she never wholly rallied, passing away 

 at eleven P. M., March 19. The funer- 

 al was from the home, 146 Clybourne 

 Ave., Chicago, March 22nd, and was 

 very largely attended. The pall bear- 

 ers were her business associates, E. 

 C. Winterson, Joe Curran, Alex. Hen- 

 derson, Geo. Asmus, E. Blaine and H. 

 N. Bruns. 



Among the florists from out of town 

 who attended the funeral were J. A. 

 Valentine of Denver, Colo.; C. C. Poll- 

 worth, Milwaukee; Ed. Fancourt, Phil- 

 adelphia; Fritz Bahr and wife of 

 Highland Park, 111. 



Philip Breitmeyer of Detroit, W. 

 F. Kasting of Buffalo and F. Traend- 

 ley of New York, were among those 

 who sent floral remembrances. 



The Ladies' S. A. F. sent a large 

 wreath. This is the first death in 

 the Ladies' S. A. F. 



Marie C. Colluot was born at Lau- 

 pen, a/n, Wuerttenbnrg, Germany, of 

 French and German parentage, Jan. 5, 

 1864. and came to this country in early 

 childhood. She was married at eight- 

 een to Philip J. Hauswirth and was 

 associated with him in business till 

 his death, Dec. 4, 1907. Mrs. Haus- 

 wirth leaves a son, J. Edwin, her busi- 

 ness partner since her husband's 

 death, and a daughter, Blsa Hoyt, two 

 infant grandchildren and a brother, 

 Chas. Collnot. 



Mrs. Hauswirth was an affectionate 

 mother and her death will be deeply 

 felt as this is the third time the dread 

 visitor has entered the family within 

 fifteen months. As a business women 

 Mrs. Hauswirth had few equals and in 

 all her busy store life she yet had 

 time to speak the cheerful word to her 

 friends and assist others whenever 

 possible. Hers was a strong charac- 

 ter and as her friends viewed her re- 

 mains lying under a bank of palms in 

 the same place where they had so late- 

 ly taken a final look at her late hus- 

 band, they felt that her strong per- 

 sonality had left a lasting impression 

 though she had scarcely reached mid- 

 dle age. 



Interment was at Bosehill cemetery. 



Mrs. Emily Rose Youell. 



Mrs. Emily Rose Youell, wife of 

 Henry R. Youell, died of heart failure 

 Tuesday evening, Mar. 16th, at the 

 family home. 111 Lexington avenue, 

 Syracuse, N. Y., aged 67 years. Mrs. 

 Youell had been ailing some time with 

 bronchitis, but her death Tuesday 

 came unexpectedly. 



Mrs. Youell was born in England, the 

 daughter of .John Emily Hubbard, the 

 noted veterinary surgeon. She was 

 married to Henry R. Youell forty years 

 ago. She Is survived, besides her hus- 

 band, by three daughters. Miss Mabel 

 Youell, Mrs. Ernest Edwards of Fay- 

 etteville, and Mrs. Christopher J. Lam- 

 bert of Sherburne, N. Y., and by a son 

 Henry R. YouelL 



The sincere sympathy of the trade Is 

 extended to the family in their be- 

 reavement.
