OBITUARY. 
William Doogue, superintendent of 
public grounds of Boston, died at 
his home in Dorchester, November 2, 
after a long illness. 
Mr. Doogue was born in Stradbally, 
County Queens, Ireland, June 24, 
1828, and emigrated to the United 
States when a mere lad. He settled 
first in Middletown, Conn., and at the 
age of 17 years was apprenticed to 
Affleck, Whittamore & Co., which in 
its day had one of the largest nursery 
WILLIAM DOOGUE 
and greenhouse plants in New Eng- 
land. After Mr. Affleck’s death Mr. 
Doogue became one of the firm. In 
the early sixties the deceased sep- 
arated from the firm of Whittamore 
& Co., and removed to Boston, estab- 
lishing himself as a florist and dec- 
orator at the rear of his residence on 
Warrenton street. He did an ex- 
cellent business here, and his success 
as a decorator led to his selection in 
1878 as city forester of Boston. 
At that time there were neither 
tools, plants nor houses to work with. 
All stock for bedding had to be pur- 
chased. In 1885, after a number of
