258 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



a well-known and successful fruit grower in the \Miigville 

 section of Bristol. \\ ith his wife, Mr. Lowry had been ac- 

 tively interested in the work of the Society, contributing 

 especially to its exhibitions for many years. Passing away 

 in the prime of life, Air. Lowry will be sadly missed in his 

 home, in the community in which he lived and in our or- 

 ganization, which he loved and for which he labored. 



Andrew Kingsbury, of Coventry, died March 25, 1911. 

 His sudden passing was under the most distressing circum- 

 stances, Mr. Kingsbury having been fatally injured by an 

 infuriated bull on his farm, Saturday morning, March 25, 

 and dying at the Hartford hospital a few hours later. 



Andrew Kingsbury filled a large place in his home, in 

 the church, in the life of the town and stateandin this Soci- 

 ety, and his place cannot easily be failed. A member of the 

 Pomological Society for many years, he was always active 

 for its welfare. He occupied the position of County Vice- 

 President for a long term of years, served with ability on 

 many committees, and at the time of his death was one of 

 the Society's auditors. A successful farmer, he made fruit 

 growing one of his specialties, and was active in promoting 

 the work of this Society and all other organizations that 

 would benefit his fellow farmers. 



He was possessed of much business and executive 

 ability and had been called to occupy many positions of 

 trust and honor, all of which he discharged with honesty 

 and integrity and ability. Although cut ofif in the midst 

 of an active and useful life, the memory of his work will 

 live long and will be cherished by those who were associat- 

 ed with him. 



The following editorial from the Hartford Coiirant ex- 

 presses well the esteem in which he was held by all who 

 knew him : 



The town of Coventry, to say nothing of the state, lost one of its 

 best men when Andrew Kingsbury died in the Hartford Hospital Sat-
