Obituary 



Charles Hewitt. 



Charles Hewitt, long time superin- 

 tendent on the iMrs. C. P. HunlinRton 

 estate at Throgs's Neck, and well 

 known and respected in the gardening 

 fraternity, died on Friday. August 3. 



H. A. Jahn. 

 Heinrich A. Jahn. widely known as 

 a carnation raiser, died at his home 

 in New Bedford. Mass., on Saturday. 

 August 4. aged 5fl years. Mr. Jahn 

 was long a member of the American 

 Carnation Society and a frequent ex- 

 hibitor of seedling carnations at their

John A. Bopp. 

 The body of John A. Bopp, florist, of 

 Cumberland, Md., was found on the 

 morning of August 1st in a pond on 

 his farm by his son Arthur. Mr. 

 Bopp sold his farm on the Potomac 

 river as the site for the Kelly-Spring- 

 field tire plant, being paid $50,000. He 

 had worried over moving and had not 

 been in good health. Mr. Bopp was 

 born in Germany 62 years ago. The 

 destruction of his fine greenhouses 

 seemed to prey on his mind, although 

 he sold out at big profit. The pond, 

 about 200 yarus from the home, is 

 about three feet deep, and the body 

 was found lying face downward 

 some distance from the edge. A son, 

 William Bopp, was drowned some 

 years ago while skating. The father 

 recovered the body. Mr. Bopp is sur- 

 vived by his wife, two sons — J. Elmer 

 Bopp and Arthur Bopi) — and one 

 daughter, Mrs. J. Garfield Sowers. He 

 left a big estate.
