tery, from heart failure. He was a 
native of Saltsburg, Pa., and came to 
Pittsburg about twenty-five years ago 
and became associated with Thomas 
Wightinan, President of the Home- 
wood Cemetery Association. He was 
one of the best-known residents of 
the East End, having a large circle 
of friends among business men. 
James J. Hagerty, formerly Super-

Salem, Mass., is dead. E. J. McMa- 
hon succeeds him as Superintendent. 
John C. Teas, the veteran nursery- 
man of Carthage, Mo., died at his 
home there on July S9, 1907. He was 
80 years of age, and had shown an 
unusual amount of vitality until the 
last few months. He became ill dur- 
ing the unfavorable weather of the 
spring planting season and had since 
been ailing. For the last two weeks 
he was confined to bed, and his death 
had been anticipated for several days. 
Mr. Teas was born in Philadelphia in 
1827, of Quaker parentage. He went 
to Carthage, Mo., in 1867. He had 
previously been in ■ the nursery busi- 
ness at Richmond, Ind. His techni- 
cal education was obtained in New 
York, where he first learned the prin- 
ciples of plant growth and manage- 
ment. He it was who originated Teas’ 
weeping mulberry, a shrub that has 
been sold the world over under his 
name. He also put on the market the 
white Judas tree. His life was one of 
devotion to his calling, his family and 
his friends, and to his untiring efforts 
were due important improvements in 
the fruits and ornamental flora of the 
great Southwest.
