Deaths 
Mr. Frank Kiernan came to us as night watchman on January 
19, 1919. On March 28 of the same year, he was promoted to 
the position of janitor and held that position until his death, after 
avery brief illness, on September 12, 1928. His uniform courtesy, 
his efficient discharge of the duties of his position, and his loyalty 
to the Botanic Garden made him a most valuable man, held in 
high regard by all, and his passing was a distinct loss to the Garden.
