Obituary 



Aaron W. Morgan. 



Aaron W. Morgan, for many years 

 a florist in Danville, 111., and who 

 bought the Iralson store on 43rd St., 

 last May, was found dead in bed on 

 Sept. 10th. The gas was found turned 

 on but no one thinks it was inten- 

 tional as Mr. Morgan's hands were 

 badly crippled with rheumatism and 

 were consequently unsteady. 



The remains were taken to Dan- 

 ville on the 12th. 



Mr. Morgan was 71 years old and 

 leaves a son and two daughters, and 

 though his stay in Chicago has been 

 brief he had made many friends. H© 

 was a member of the Chicago Flor- 

 ists' Club. 



Alexander Bogie. 

 Alexander Bogie, an aged florist, died 

 at his home. 506 Summit avenue, Jersey 

 Citv, N. .T., on the 12th inst. 



See the advertisement of the Broad- 

 way Iron Foundry Company in this 

 issue. The most durable grate bars 

 at the lowest price is a proposition 

 the ma.iority of greenhouse owners 

 ought to be interested in at this par- 

 ticular season. 



In Memoriam. 

 The funeral of Mr. T. M. Waters,, 

 whose death was recorded in our last 

 week's issue, was attended by the flor- 

 ists of Richmond. Ind., who acted as 

 pall-bearers. We have received the 

 following tribute to his character, 

 which we gladly accord a place in our 

 columns: 



Thomas Marion Waters, son of John and 

 Mary Waters, was born on a farm in 

 Preble County, Ohio, almost 04 years ago, 

 and practically all his life was passed in. 

 this county. Graduating from the college 

 at Ladoga, Indiana, in early manhood, he 

 spent several years teaching in our public 

 schools, laboring between terms on the- 

 farm and at various other callings, until 

 his brother. Will Waters, was' elected 

 sheriff of this county, and under him he 

 served as Deputy Sheriff for four years to- 

 the satisfaction of the public and with 

 honor to himself. 



On July 21, 1880, he united in marriage 

 with Ida May Bell, who survives him. 



Uniting with the Presbyterian Church at 

 Eaton, Ohio, in l.Sni. he was and continued 

 to be until his death, an earnest, con.sistent 

 and faithful Christian. He was one of the 

 best known men in our community and be- 

 ing of a kind, gentle and retiring dispo- 

 sition, lie was loved, honored and respected 

 by all with whom he came in contait. 

 (lifted with a loving nature that admired 

 and followed the good and true and lieau- 

 tiful, he was so soft spoken with voice and 

 words, that although the writer knew him 

 closely and well for more than a iinarter 

 of a cenlnry he was never heard to raise 

 his voice in anger or liitter words or ex- 

 (-itenient even when danger tlu-eatened. 

 On every moral question he only asked 

 whi(-h side is right, and there he to(ik his 

 stand. 



Engaging in the business of florist at 

 Eaton. "Ohio, in 1,802, he continued therein 

 honoring his business; he admired his 

 llowers, handling them with the caressing 

 tenderness of one who loved their beauty 

 and fragrance, and talked of them as 

 though they were things of life. Winning 

 by his gentleness, he held the love and 

 esteem of his associates iu business, and 

 it seems proper and titling that those who 

 spend their lives and time decorating ever.v 

 phase auil walk of life with the most 

 lieautifnl tokens of God's love for man 

 should lay away their brother worker amid 

 tile emblems tliat typify Heaven's Eternal 

 iiloom. 



A loving husband, a good and kind 

 lirother, a gentle Christian, a faithful 

 friend and neighbor, and a good citizen has 

 gone to his rest. 



Berkeley, Cal.— Otto C. Dorrier. who 

 had been employed by A. Hutchinson, 

 florist, at 2315 Telegraph avenue, 

 was arrested in San Francisco, Sept. 

 11, charged with having robbed his 

 employer.
