IN MEMORIAM

BERT HARTRANFT 



Mr. Bert Hartranft died at Cortland, September fourteenth, 1912, 

 aged forty -nine years. Mr. Hartranft began market gardening work 

 some fifteen years ago, building a small greenhouse on a little plot of 

 ground. By increasing the working area of his land and by extending 

 his greenhouses, he was just bringing his plant to the point where he 

 could nicely supply his trade. His last and largest greenhouse was 

 not quite completed at the time of his death. Mr. Hartranft was one 

 of those who work at gardening not merely because there is money in 

 it, but just as much because he enjoyed it. 



Mr. Hartranft is survived by a widow and two sons. He was a 

 member of the Odd Fellows.
