Elm Grove in Bluff- 
ton, Ind. He was 
born and reared in 
Lindenwood C e m e- 
tery. Ft. Wayne, well

the result of the ef- 
forts of his father, 
the late John Haw- 
kins Doswell, its su- 
perintendent for more 
than 40 years, and 
a graduate of Kew 
Gardens in London. 
Mr. Doswell also has 
charge of the home

visited the City of 
Mexico for the pur- 
pose of investigating 
the condition of the 
American National 
Cemetery there. 
James K. Powers 
was recently appoint- 
ed superintendent of 
that cemetery. 
Edward A. Merriam, who for the past 
five years has been superintendent and 
treasurer of Crystal Lake Cemetery 
Company, Minneapolis, Minn., severed 
his connection with the cemetery Feb- 
ruary 1, 1907, to engage in other busi- 
ness. Mr. Merriam, through Park and 
Cemetery, bids his many friends in the 
A. A. C. S. a cordial good bye, valuing 
the many pleasant acquaintances made 
while a member of the association, and 
identified with cemetery work.
