OBITUARY. 
James Braik, assistant superintendent 
of parks, Buffalo, N. Y., died suddenly 
at his home, 1263 Elmwood avenue, 
Wednesday, January 16, 1907. Capt. 
Braik was fifty-eight years of age and 
was appointed assistant superintendent 
of parks in 1887. He was born in Scot- 
land, and previous to his arrival in this 
country he served as a soldier in the 
British army, in the 79th Cameron 
Highlanders. He was a prominent 
member of the local branch of St. An- 
drew’s Scottish Society, having occu- 
pied the position of president from No- 
vember, 1892, till November, 1893. He 
retained his love for military life and 
was the first captain of the Gordon 
Highlanders of Buffalo. He was a past 
master of a Masonic lodge before go- 
ing to that city nineteen years ago. His 
breadth of knowledge concerning both 
the practical and the scientific side of 
park improvement made him particular- 
ly well fitted for his official position. 
He was an active member of the -Buf- 
falo Florists’ Club. He is 'survived by 
his widow.
