258 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Necrology. 



Since the last report was issued nine members have been 

 taken from our list by the grim hand of Death. 



Lewis J. Wells of Woodstock : Mr. Wells was one of 

 the best known farmers of Windham County, an entensivc 

 apple grower and dairyman. He had been secretar\- of the 

 State Grange and a member of the Board of Agriculture, a 

 man respected by all. 



W. E. Goodwill of Southiugfon : A member of the soci- 

 ety since 1903. 



Levi S. Wells of Nezv Britain : A veteran farmer and 

 grange worker, always zealous in his efforts for the uplifting of 

 agriculture. 



Charles Leigey of Berlin : Mr. Leigey was a native of 

 France and brought to this country his experience and love for 

 the culture of grapes. On his farm he made a specialty of 

 this fruit and w^as one of the very few in the state who have 

 profitably engaged in viticulture and the making and selling 

 of wines. He was for many years a very active member of 

 the Society and did much for its welfare. As he was seldom 

 absent from its meetings, his loss is all the more keenly felt. 

 We shall miss his genial face and kindly word. 



F. H. Wheeler of Middlchnry : A member since 1902. 



A. C. Peck of Cheshire : One of the oldest, yet one of the 

 most interested members of the Society. Mr. Peck became 

 a member in the early years of the Society and was deeply 

 interested in fruits as an amateur. A man whom all loved 

 and respected for his uprightness of character.
