MRS. MARY L. STEVENS. 
Our readers will learn with regret of the death, on September 17th, 1907, 
of a charter member of the Sullivant Moss Chapter, Mrs. Mary L. Stevens. 
Her active interest in the Chapter caused her to be well known to many, and 
those whom she could help she served well and faithfully. She was ever as 
eager to find material to offer as she was to accept what others offered. 
Her interest in botany dates back many years, and her herbarium shows 
great painstaking, and contains beautiful speciments of ferns, mosses and 
liehens. She showed unusual talent in painting flowers, and among her 
numerous sketches are two sets of mushrooms and orchids that are excep- 
tionally well handled. She was careful to keep all interesting notes on 
mosses that she learned either from her own observation or from those who 
kindly helped her to determine specimens. These notes she neatly arranged 
and bound together, with an accompanying colored sketch of each moss, 
making a valuable note book for beginners. 
Those who knew her personally found Her always ready to share her 
specimens, and glad if she could pass along any bit of information. As one 
friend has said, we all have had a big slice of pleasant and helpful friendship 
taken out of our lives. Elizabeth Marie Dunham.
