IN MEMORIAM — LYCURGUS R. MOYER. 195 



of Mauston, in 1876. Six children were born to this union. 

 Waldo and Burrows died some years ago. Sumner, Amos, Cath- 

 erine and Rose survive." 



Judge Moyer, as we commonly term him in our society, be- 

 came a member of the association, at least his name then first 

 appears upon the membership roll, in the year 1889, the second 

 year preceding my connection with the society as secretary. My 

 acquaintance with Judge Moyer began at that time, and with the 

 official relationship which he maintained with the society up to 

 the time of his death there existed also a close acquaintance, 

 which was ever a pleasant and, to myself at least, a profitable one. 



During all these years Mr. Moyer conducted a trial station 

 for the society, and, considering the extensive field that his trial 

 service covered, I am sure that no one will be offended at this 

 statement that the most important trial station reports, including 

 both fruits and flowers, that were published by this society came 

 from his pen. In support of this statement, I call your attention 

 especially to his last report, to be found in the April number of 

 our monthly for this year. The card index of the contributions 

 of our members to the work of the society shows that Mr. Moyer 

 had contributed sixty-four articles, most of them reports from his 

 station, though aside from this there were a number of especially 

 valuable articles on some phase of ornamental horticulture, in 

 which Mr. Moyer was especially interested. 



In the year 1895 Judge Moyer was elected a member of the 

 Executive Board, which position he filled with distinguished 

 fidelity up to and including the year 1913, in all eighteen years. 

 At his age and state of health we anticipated his being with us 

 for a long period of service yet, but we must bow to that inscrut- 

 ible wisdom which determines events from a standpoint alto- 

 gether beyond our reach. — Secy.
