OBITUARY 
Ferdinad Haase, founder of Forest 
Home cemetery, Chicago, 111., died 
at his residence in Forest Park on 
January 6, at the age of 85. Mr. 
Haase was born in Brandenburg, Ger- 
many, April 27, 1826, the son of a 
miller and in due time he learned the 
upholsterer’s and harnessmaker’s 
trade, working later in Berlin. In 
1851 he located in Proviso township 
upon his second trip to America. He 
bought forty acres near the Des- 
plaines river. This he added to from 
time to time until he owned 240 acres. 
Later he turned his grounds into a 
park and induced the Chicago and 
Northwestern railway to build a spur 
from Oak Park to his place. In 1871 
the northern portion of this park was 
sold to form Concordia cemetery. In 
1873 more was sol.d to form Waldheim 
cemetery, but part of this was taken 
back and in 1876 the Forest Home 
Cemetery company was incorporated. 
Charles H. Peters, a pioneer of 
Saginaw, Mich., and a man of far- 
reaching public spirit and helpfulness 
in municipal as well as community 
affairs, suddenly passed away on No- 
vember 12 last, at his home in Sagi- 
naw. His death was due to apoplexy. 
Mr. Peters was born in Germany in 
1848, and came to Saginaw while a 
boy, in 1854. Mr. Peters was for years 
a member of the Board of Park 
and Cemetery Comissioners, to which 
he was reappointed Jan. 1 , 1909, for a 
five year term. He was one of the 
original members of the latter board, 
and to his energy and appreciation of 
the importance of such work is large- 
ly due the excellent condition of Sag- 
inaw’s parks. 
Fred Dorner, or Father Dorner, as 
he was well known, intimately asso- 
ciated with the culture and develop- 
ment of the Carnation, to which he 
had studiously devoted himself, 
passed away at his home in Lafayette, 
Ind., on December 23. after an at- 
tack of pneumonia. He was born at

We are among the largest growers of ornamental 
trees, shrubs and plants in America. Hardy va- 
rlettes a specialty, we employ a competent land- 
scape gardener for the service of our large patron- 
age. Cemetery and t'ark Organizations are invited 
to correspond relative to either Planning or Plant- 
ing, or both. We will be pleased to make estimates 
on any proposition.

We have given special thought to the manu- 
facture of pumps developing sufficient pressure 
to thoroughly spray shade trees in parks, cem- 
eteries, along city streets, etc. Deming outfits, 
therefore, are particularly adapted to that 
work — they develop high pressures, even when 
supplying eight or more nozzles. 
Deming Power Sprayers 
are the choice of park superintendents, com- 
missioners and owners of great estates. Deming 
outfits are durable and efficient; all working 
parts are brass, and the rigid construction 
prevents lose motion between pump and engine. 
We shall be pleased to furnish specifications, 
blue-prints, and estimates. We make pumps 
for all uses; general agencies in principal cities.
