Obituary 



Mrs. J. L. Miller. 



Mrs. J. L. Miller, for many years 

 In the retail florist business in New- 

 ark, Ohio, passed away April 19, after 

 a few hours' illness. She is survived 

 by her son, George L., who was asso- 

 ciated with her in business. 



Peter Ross. 



Peter Ross, a florist of Flushing, L. 

 I., for thirty-three years, died at his 

 home, No. 659 Sanford avenue, Flush- 

 ing, on April 27. He was born in Bal- 

 niagown. Scotland, and five years be- 

 fore going to Flushing resided in Great 

 Neck. He was sixty-three years old. 

 He leaves his wife and two daughters. 



Arnold Burgers. 



Word has just reached this side of 

 the water of the passing away of a 

 distinguished member of the seed 

 trade, Mr. Arnold Burgers, of Baren- 

 brug. Burgers & Co.. Arnheim. Hol- 

 land, who died in the latter part of 

 March, aged 75. While Mr. Burgers 

 was nominally what we know here as 

 a silent partner in the house, he was 

 really much more and his wise coun- 

 sels and wide experience were always 

 actively at work in building up the 

 great business in natural or fancy 

 grasses for which the firm has a world- 

 wide reputation. His son, Mr. Bernard 

 Burgers, is the junior member of the 

 house of which Mr. Joseph Theodore 

 Barenbrug is the head. Mr. Baren- 

 brug has never visited America, but is 



Abnold Burgees 



well known to the trade here as the 

 author of "Barenbrug on Grasses" 

 which was published in 1908 and which 

 is very highly regarded by the expert 

 seedsmen and farmers on this side. 



Richard Lynex. 



A well-known figure in the flower 

 trade of Philadelphia passed away on 

 the 21st ulto. Richard Lynex was fa- 

 miliar to the older generation, having 

 been the original wire-worker in floral 

 designs. He was 92 years of age and 

 since his retirement from business a 

 good many years ago, made his home 

 at Atlantic City. Everybody liked 

 Richard Lynex. He was a whole- 

 souled, companionable man and 



straight in all his doings. The old-time 

 meetings of the Florists' Club, their 

 outings and their banquets; the Com- 

 modore's parties at Waretown, and 

 similar festivities, were never com- 

 plet6 without him and to the last he 

 would delight us by singing "Sweet 



Rkhaki) Lynex 

 30 Years Ago. 



Violets." The interment took place on 

 the 24th at Mt. Peace Cemetery, Phila- 

 delphia, and was attended by many old 

 friends. Commodore Wescott did the 

 decorating with loving hands. 



Mr. Lynex was a native of Birming- 

 ham, England, and came to this coun- 

 try when very young. He proved a 

 credit to us all and leaves a joyful 

 memory behind him. G. C. W. 



Lawrence Davenport. 



Lawrence Davenport, a retired flor- 

 ist of Lynn, Mass., one of the pioneer 

 residents of that city, well-known and 

 highly respected by people in all walks 

 of life, died at the family home at 58 

 Butler street early Saturday morning, 

 April 25, following an accident sus- 

 tained three weeks ago. He was 

 descending the stairs in the rear of 

 his home when he was taken with a 

 fainting spell and fell to the ground. 

 He was picked up unconscious. Since 

 tne accident he had slowly declined al- 

 though after regaining consciousness 

 he had retained his faculties until the 

 end. He was born in Chorley, Lanca- 

 shire, Eng., Dec. 28, 1836. He came to 

 Lynn with his family in 1864. He se- 

 cured a position in the Pacific mill. He 

 followed that work for 17 years, when 

 his health declined. He then entered 

 the florist business at 71 Warren street 

 near his present home. He started in 

 the florist business on a small scale 

 when at work in the mill but his busi- 

 ness grew to such an extent that when 

 he left the mill he had a very flourish- 

 ing business. 



Those who survive him are a wife 

 and three daughters, eleven grandchil- 

 dren and two great grandchildren.
