It is our sad duty to report the pass- 

 ing away of Lawrence Cotter, manager 

 of the Lakeview Rose Gardens, James- 

 town, N. Y., who died on Saturday, 

 March 24, after a long and painful 

 illness. He was a native of County 

 Cork, Ireland, coming to this country 

 when a young man, since which time 



and flower grower he displayed abili- 

 ties of the first rank. In manner he 

 was trenchant and outspoken and 

 never lacked for incisive words to ex- 

 press his views but he possessed a 

 keen sense of humor and a ready wit 

 which made him a welcome conpanlon 

 among a large circle of acquaintances. 

 At heart Lawrence Cotter was kindly 

 disposed and generous and in his pass- 

 ing the trade has lost a worthy repre- 

 sentative, and his family an indulgent 

 husband and father.
