Obituary. 
Frederick Emery, for 14 years super- 
intendent of the Springfield Cemetery, 
Springfield, Mass., died March 15 at the 
age of 64 years. Since his retirement 
from his position at the temetery last 
December, Mr. Emery had been in poor 
health, and his death resulted from a 
general breakdown. Before his connec- 
tion with the cemetery, Mr. Emery was 
superintendent ot Col. James A. Rum- 
rill’s farm in Goshen, Conn. During 
his 10 years’ service here he obtained 
the extensive knowledge of landscape 
gardening, which well fitted him for 
the position of superintendent of the 
Springfield Cemetery. This position he 
held with success from October, 1891. 
till last December. Under bis eye the 
work of beautifying the cemetery pro- 
gressed steadily, and to him must be 
given most of the credit _for the ex- 
cellent condition in which the cemetery 
has been kept.
