Though this part of the Transactions is devoted to the work 
of the Union prior to 1912, we cannot fail to express our sense of 
the great loss caused by the deaths of three Ex-Presidents. All 
our members, we feel sure, will desire to express their sincere 
sympathy with the bereaved families. 
A notice of the death of the Rev. Canon WILLIAM 
FOWLER is to be found on another page. 
Mr. F. M. BURTON, F..s., F.G.s., died on May 16th, 1912, 
aged 83. Most of our members are well acquainted with the 
great interest he took in the work of the Union, On more than 
one occasion he conducted us over ground which was well known 
to him, and where he had made research long before some of us 
were born. To the last he kept up his work in the science he 
loved. His last days were spent in a revise for the “County 
History” which we are glad to know was completed and is ready 
for publication. In our Transactions Vol. I., p. 73, there is a 
brief outline of his life. His collections and part of his library 
are to find a home in the County Museum. 
Dr. G. M. LOWE died May 24th, 1912. He was particularly 
well known in Lincoln and took a large part in advocating a 
Museum for the County. For several years he has lived in the 
Isle of Wight, but was a most energetic worker for the Union 
whilst in Lincoln. In Vol. II. page 73, will be found an account 
of his interesting work.
