THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGJCAL SOCIETY. 



Miss L. S. Williams, of Hartford, a member of the 

 Society since 1907, died at her home, in January, 1911. She 

 was one of the manv ladv members whose interest in the or- 

 ganization is g^reatly appreciated. 



Alx\er Trask, of East Hai-tford, died in January, 1912, 

 at his home in wSilver I.anc. Mr. Trask was one of the So- 

 ciety's oldest members, both in years and in length of member- 

 ship. He was seldom absent from a meeting and took a 

 lively interest in pomological matters. 



A splendid Christian character, he was loved and re- 

 spected by all and his pleasant face and kindly greeting will 

 be sadl}' missed at our meetings. 



J. Frank Elwood, of Greens Farms. The sudden passing 

 away of this well-known member, at the Bridgeport hospital of 

 pneumonia in April, 1912, will come as a surprise to his many 

 friends and acquaintances. Air. Elwood had a host of 

 friends among the farmers of the state, as he had traveled 

 for years as a salesman for fertilizer concerns. Everyone 

 loved him for his genial ways and hearty good w'ill and he 

 will be deeply missed wherever fruit growers and farmers 

 gather in (he days to come.
