Harry Garrett died at his home in West Chester, Pa. , June 

 25, 1904, in his sixty -sixth year. 



He was the son of the late Davis and Elizabeth Garrett who 

 resided in Willistown township, Chester Co., where Harry was 

 born and passed the greater part of his life. From his parents 

 he inherited a fondness for nature study and his spare hours 

 were devoted to his bird neighbors. He was of a modest, un- 

 assuming nature. He did not belong to any of our bird 

 societies, nor did his name often appear in print, yet there are 

 very few who had a more accurate knowledge of our birds, their 

 habits and haunts, than Harry Garrett. 



A taxidermist of more than ordinary skill, he amassed a very 

 fine mounted collection of local birds, which went to Swarth- 

 more college many years since. About fourteen years ago he 

 moved to West Chester, where he still maintained his interest 

 in birds, though it was divided with mineralogy, in which field 

 he was an enthusiast. Many specimens collected and prepared 

 by Garrett are to be seen in the Josiah Hoopes collection, now 

 in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. T. H. J. 



At the twenty-second Congress of the American Ornithologists 

 Union, Mr. J. Warren Jacobs was elected a Member and Mr. 

 Clark .J. Peck an Associate.
