282 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



NECROLOGY. 



Again we are forced to acknowledge the Hand of Death 

 in the ranks of our Society. 



Seven of our members have been added during the year 

 of 1909 to the Roll of the Dead. These final pages of the 

 Report are devoted, as is most fitting, to the memory of those 

 who have labored with us, but who are now at rest in the 

 Great Beyond. 



Following is the list of deaths reported to the Secretary's 

 office since the last Report was published : 



L. A. Vibberts, of New Britain, died July, 1908. He 

 had been a member of the Society for a long term of years, 

 although not actively engaged in fruit growing. Mr. Vibberts 

 was prominently identified with the business interests of New 

 Britain. 



D. E. Stone, of Cheshire, died during the year 1909. He 

 was a well known farmer and fruit grower in Cheshire and 

 had been a member of the Society since 1901. 



C. P. Pease, of Ellington, died in April, 1909. He be- 

 came a member of the Society in 1904 and was always inter- 

 ested in its welfare. 



Huber Bush nell, of Berlin, died suddenly in May, 1909. 

 Mr. Bushnell had been a member for many years, and, with 

 Mrs. Bushnell, took an active interest in the work of the 

 Society, especially the annual exhibitions, to which they con- 

 tributed large exhibits. Mr. Bushnell was of a genial, kindly 

 nature, respected by all who knew him. He was a veteran 

 of the Civil War and engaged in farminsr at Berlin.
