ROGER HENNEDY-Died 22nd October, 1876. 



Strew flowers. Strew flowers upon the bier's dark lid ; 

 Strew the wild flowers he loved the sable signs amid, 

 Ere dust to dust is gone, and is for ever hid. 



Plant flowers. Plant flowers around and o'er his tomb- 

 To the loved flowers give space, make ample room, 

 Perennial flowers that In Memoriam bloom. 



Worthy and true an ardent student has he been, 



His work will live in it his monument is seen, 



" CLYDESDALE FLORA," thy leaves will keep his memory green. 



On Mr. Kennedy's death the Press, not only of Glasgow, but also of 

 Edinburgh and other places, even as far away as America, contained long 

 notices, all of them tributes to character and work. One of these, which 

 appeared in the form of verse in The Bailie, ist Nov., 1876, was so true 

 in feeling, that it is here, with only a slight change in some of the words, 

 preserved.
