OBITUARY. 



Patrick Sutton. 

 Patrick Sutton, an old employe ot 

 the Landreth Seed Co., and a well 

 known figure in Bristol, Pa., died, in 

 his 75th year, on February 13th. 



David Walters. 

 David Walters, a retail florist in a 

 small way at Catasaqua, Pa., died Feb- 

 ruary 12th, aged about 65. Deceased 

 also conducted a general store under 

 the title of Walters Bros. He was 

 highly esteemed in his community. 



Mrs. Elizabeth V. Schmid. 



We note with deep regret the death 

 of Mrs. Elizabeth V. Schmid, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, on the 9th inst. at the ad- 

 vanced age of 82 years. Mrs. Schmid 

 was the mother of one of our most 

 highly respected and public-spirited 

 men, Edward S. Schmid, who has for 

 years been closely affiliated with the 

 florists of Washington. 



Mrs. Schmid was born in Switzer- 

 land in 1828, and after her marriage 

 to Louis Schmid came to America. 

 They settled in Washington and estab- 

 lished a paper box factory; they also 

 inaugurated the woven wire funeral 

 designs. Mrs. Schmid has made her 

 home for the past sixteen years with 

 her son, Edward S., and to him, as 

 well as the rest of her family, we 

 tender our heartfelt sympathies. 



S. M. Owen. 



S. M. Owen, editor of Parmstock and 

 Home, is dead. What a shock the an- 

 nouncement gives me! He was an 

 honest man. ne defended his readers 

 by never allowing a doubtful ad. in 

 his columns. He was a progressive 

 man with encyclopedia information 

 along all the lines of agi'iculture. He 

 was intensely interested in horticulture 

 and forestry. You always knew where 

 to find him. We did not agree in 

 politics, but there was a broad world 

 of common interest which gave him 

 and his friends plenty of room. He 

 died of heart trouble, February 2, at 

 his Minneapolis home. Minnesota sus- 

 tained a gi-eat loss when her beloved 

 Governor passed away, and now an- 

 other loss falls heavily upon her. But 

 the grand state has an array of strong, 

 good men to take their places and 

 carry on their work.
