The Florists' Review 



31 



OBITUARY 



Edward O. Lovell. 



Edward O. Lovell, of Grand Forka, 

 N. D., died March 7, at the age of 75, 

 death resulting from a complication of 

 diseases. The deceased was born in 

 Boston and moved to St. Paul, Minn., 

 about thirty years ago. Twenty years 

 ago he moved with his family to Grand 

 Forks, where he started and built up 

 one of the most flourishing florists' es- 

 tablishments in that part of the state. 

 He is survived by his wife, a sister and 

 two sons. The business will be con- 

 tinued by the heirs. 



Joseph H. Ounningham. 



Jos. H. Cunningham, one of the larg- 

 est growers of primulas, pansies and 

 ferns in Ohio, died at his home, Dela- 

 ware, O., March 4, at the age of 59. 



His first work as a florist was with 

 George W. Campbell, at Delaware, O., 

 the grower of the famous Delaware 

 grape. After seven years of work in 

 that field, Mr. Cunningham started the 

 present establishment, in about 1885, on 

 a small scale and in a retail way. Grad- 

 ually he increased the business and en- 

 tered the wholesale field, which depart- 

 ment now is the more important. He 

 was especially well known for his suc- 

 cess in growing primulas. 



Mr. Cunningham was a man of genial 

 personality and generous disposition, 

 living and believing in those principles 

 which now are often termed old-fash- 

 ioned. He was a Bepublican and served 

 four years as a member of the city 

 council. He is survived by his wife, 

 Emma J. Cunningham, two daughters, 

 Marian L. Cunningham and Mrs. Fred 

 Duffey, and two sons, Eugene J. Cun- 

 ningham and Oeorge W. Cunningham. 

 The business will be continued along 

 the same lines, under the management 

 of his son, George W. Cunningham. 



Lyman T. Curtis. 



Lyman T. Curtis, one of Michigan's 

 pioneer nurserymen and proprietor of 

 the Genesee County Nurseries, of Flint, 

 Mich., died March 2 at his home near 

 Flint, following a month's illness of a 

 complication of diseases. The deceased 

 was born at Flint, December 16, 1843, 

 and in 1886 started his nursery. He 

 first cultivated fruit trees, but later 

 enlarged his business to include shrubs 

 and plants. He is survived by his wife 

 and five children. Two of the sons will 

 continue the business. 



Angust Kraeger. 



August Krueger, who for thirty-six 

 years conducted a florists' business at 

 Meadville, Pa., died at his home in 

 Meadville on the night of February 25. 

 He had been in poor health for some 

 time, but his final serious illness cov- 

 ered a period of only about one week. 

 Mr. Krueger was born in Germany in 

 1841, and after serving in the Franco- 

 Prussian war he immigrated to Amer- 

 ica, Buffalo, N. Y., being his first stop. 

 In 1881 he purchased the greenhouses 

 of Herman Munz, at Meadville, Pa., 

 which then, as now, were known as the 

 Greendale Conservatories. Mr. Krue- 

 ger was successful in his business and 

 retired some years ago, being succeeded 

 by his son, Henry J. Krueger. He is 

 survived by his wife, one daughter, his 



son and two brothers and a sister in 

 Germany. 



Jotan P. Murphy. 



John P. Murphy, well-known florist 

 and seedsman of Iowa, died at his home 

 in Waterloo, March 5, after an illness 

 of several months' duration. Mr. Mur- 

 phy was born in Wisconsin in 1854. He 

 started a greenhouse business with his 

 brother-in-law, Walter S. Hall, at Osage, 

 la., but later he went into business for 

 himself at Independence. Here he was 

 highly successful and built up a good

business. About a year ago, on account 

 of his failing health, Mr. Murphy trad- 

 ed his business for a farm near Water- 

 loo, where he lived last summer. He is 

 survived by his wife and 5-year-old son, 

 John Paul. 



Asa Eldridge Brown. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 with regret announce the death of their 

 cashier, Asa Eldridge Brown, Thursday, 

 March 9. Mr. Brown was bom in New 



York city, September 29, 1854. In 1882 

 he took a position with W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee & Co., who were then located at 221 

 Church street, Philadelphia. After at- 

 taining practical experience in the dif- 

 ferent departments of the business, Mr. 

 Brown was made cashier and this posi- 

 tion he occupied up to the time of his 

 death. 



Mr. Brown had a wide acquaintance

 friends who mourn his loss.
