Obituary 



C. Leslie Reynolds. 



While pursuing some boys who had 

 been throwing stones at the hothouses 

 in the National Botanical Gardens on 

 Wednesday last, C. Leslie Reynolds, 

 superintendent of the gardens, dropped 

 dead from heart failure. 



He was born in Montgomery County, 

 Maryland, fifty-five years ago, but at 

 an early age he went to Washington, 

 later obtaining an appointment as 

 page at the National Capitol. When 

 fifteen years of age, he secured a trans- 

 fer to the Botanical Gardens as a 

 messenger boy. He soon became an 

 apprentice and continued up the lad- 

 der until he became assistant superin- 

 tendent and during the Illness of the 

 late William R. Smith he acted as 

 superintendent, and upon the death of 

 the latter he was the logical man for 

 the position. On July 14, 1912, he was 

 officially appointed superintendent of 

 the gardens by the Library Committee 

 of Congress, since which time he has 

 done much to beautify the gardens 

 and he has just gotten them back into 

 .'ihape following the ravages of the 

 recent storm. During his forty years 

 residence in the National Capital and 

 service with the Government, Mr. Rey- 

 nolds has made a host of friends and 

 but two days before his death he was 

 one of the guests of honor at the crab 

 feast tendered by Edward S. Schmid 

 to the Florists' Club of Washington.
