Obituary 



Augustus Dietrich. 



Augustus Dietrich, a florist at 3425 

 Kensington avenue, Philadelphia, was 

 killed in a trolley accident on the 15th 

 inst. The following account of the 

 accident is from the Philadelphia Rec- 

 ord: — 



Mr. Dietrich, who was connected 

 with many German societies, was well- 

 known in Kensington, where he had 

 been in the florist and nursery business 

 for the past 35 years. His greenhouses 

 occupy nearly a block, and it was in 

 front of these that he 'w'as run down 

 by a fast-speeding car. With his sis- 

 ter, Mabel, Frederick Dietrich, a son, 

 was a shocked witness of the horrible 

 accident, and ou running out to render 

 assistance was made speechless by the 

 discovery that the body was that of 

 his own father. 



Mr. Dietrici had been suffering for 

 several months with an affection of 

 the knee, and was in the habit of re- 

 ceiving nightly treatments at the home 

 of his physician, Dr. Conrad Smith, al- 

 most directly across the street from 

 his home. After sitting all the eve- 

 ning with his family, he walked over 

 to the doctor's house for his customary 

 treatment. On returning he started 

 across' the street about 11 o'clock. His 

 residence is at the coiner of Schiller 

 street, which is the lowest point of a 

 steep incline. Stepping off the curb 

 he allowed a south-bound car to speed 

 past him, but in the noise made by 

 this he failed to hear the approach of 

 a car at full speed from the opposite 

 direction. He walked directly into the 

 front of the car and was struck and 

 dragged underneath with great force. 

 His body was mangled almost beyond 

 recognition. A large crowd gathered 

 and lifted the heavy oar from the 

 corpse. ■R^hen this had been done, 

 young Dietrich, who hart helped, was 

 heard to give a slight cry of horror, 

 and fell over in a faint. Dr. Smith was 

 then summoned and saw at a glance 

 that his friend had been instantly 

 killed. 



diffident disposition, Aldrich J. Pen- 

 nock had hosts of warm friends who 

 held him in the highest esteem and 

 affection. It has been remarked ot 

 him that neither his father nor mother 

 nor anyone else ever heard a harsh, 

 word from him under any circum- 

 stanca! If a mild mannered man ever 

 lived, that man was Aldrich J. Pen- 

 nock. 



Aldrich J. Pennock. 



Aldrich J. Pennock of Lansdowne, 

 Del. Co., Pa., died after a brief illness 

 at Denver, Col., on the 16th inst. De- 

 ceased was on a vacation accompanied 

 by his wife when stricken. Cerebro- 

 meningitis was the direct cause of 

 death, and this was supposed to have 

 develoiped from a second attack of in- 

 flammatory rheumatism from which 

 he suffered severely two years ago. 

 Interment took place at the South 

 Western Burying Ground. Lansdowne. 

 Pa., on the 20th inst. Mr, Pennock was 

 a son of Abram L. Pennock of Lans- 

 downe, and an elder brother of Sam- 

 uel S. Pennock, ot the Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co., and J. Liddon Pennock of 

 Pennock Bros.. Philadelphia. He was 

 born August 20th, 18G8, and entered 

 the greenhouse business with his fath- 

 er at Lansdowne. in 1887, under the 

 title of A. L. Pennock & Son. Some 

 years later Abram L. Pennock retired 

 and the firm became Aldrich J. Pen- 

 nock. The establishment made a great 

 specialty of lily of the valley forcing, 

 at which it was very successful. 

 Although of a rather retiring and

 111., died suddenly at his home just 

 after his seventy-seventh birthday.

 formed a partnership with him as W.

 and C. E. and W. J. Gullett associated 

 themselves with him, and the present 

 firm name of W. H. Gullett & Sons 

 was adopted. A widow and seven chil- 

 dren survive him. 



John Snyder. 

 John Snyder, a native of Germany, 

 but a resident of Kansas City for 

 thirty-five years, died on August 5 

 from injudies received by being thrown 

 from his wagon. For over twenty 

 years Mr. Snyder carried on a flower 

 store on Walnut street, giving up the 

 business five years ago. He was 58 

 years old. A widow and three chil- 

 dren survive him.
