Obituary 



William Bayersdorfer. 

 \Vm, Bayersdorfer. father of Harry 

 Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, a retired 

 merchant, died on March 26, aged 80 

 years. 



flciwers was the passion of his life. 

 The surviving relatives are a sister, 



Frank Buffinton. 



Frank Buffinton, pioneer florist of 

 Fall River. Mass., died suddenly at his 

 home in that city on Saturday evening, 

 March 18. He was stricken ill, pre- 

 sumably with an internal hemorrhage, 

 while in his greenhouse about 9 o'clock 

 Saturday evening, and though he suc- 

 ceeded in reaching his house death 

 followed about 15 minutes later. Phy- 

 sicians were summoned, but Mr. Buf- 

 finton was beyond all aid when one 

 arrived, 



Mr, Buftintons death, following so 

 closely upon the sudden death of his 

 brother, Waldo A, Buffinton, comes as 

 a particularly sad blow to the sur- 

 viving members of the family and they 

 have the sincerest sympathy in their 

 deep sorrow of a wide circle of friends. ' 

 The brother, Waldo, was found dead 

 in his bed the previous Tuesday morn- 

 ing from heart failure, 



Frank Buffinton was a member of 

 one of the oldest families of the city, 

 and was born July 8, 1846, As a young 

 man he taught school, but he early 

 took up the study of floriculture and 

 eventually made it his life business. 

 Few men were better known in the 

 community or more implicitly trusted 

 or more highly respected. He was a 

 man of unbending integrity, of large 

 intelligence, of wide sympathy with 

 that which was good. His love for 



Miss Mary E, Buffinton, and a nephew 

 and niece, William H. Buffinton and 

 .Mrs. Annie E. Ferguson.

 all over the country, liresnahan of 

 The Boston Cut Flower Shop received 

 a handsome cup as first .string man, 

 with Montgomery second, Individaul 

 prizes were given to nearly everyone 

 for one reason or another. 



The keynote of the affair was struck 

 by Toastniaster Zinn in his opening 

 address when he declared that har- 

 mony in the florist ranks had made 

 its beginning and was coming fast 

 Mr, Pvlliott reiterated the same senti- 

 ment. 



Local talent was much in evidence.

 by .Mr. .Vlahoney were enjoyed by all 

 and at 12 P. M. the affair drew to a 

 close, thus terminating a highly suc-
