OBITUARY 
Thomas White, superintendent of Riv- 
erside Cemetery, Fairhaven, Mass., for 
over twenty years, and a member of 
the American Association of Cemetery 
Superintendents, died at his home on the 
afternoon of July 16 after an illness of 
several months. Mr. White was a na- 
tive of England and came to this coun- 
try when young, and it was in 1891 that 
he was made superintendent of River- 
side, which office he held until his death. 
He was known throughout his state as 
a skilled and thorough horticulturist, 
and was an excellent writer and con- 
tributed many interesting articles to hor- 
ticultural publications. He was a man 
of tender nature and scrupulous views 
as to honesty and character. In May 
last he lay unconscious for three weeks 
with an obstruction of the heart from 
which he as suddenly revived, and he 
gained rapidly, but the death of an only 
son was a shock from which he never 
recovered, and the hot spell in July 
prostrated him. His loss will be keenly 
felt and he leaves a sorrowing widow. 
He was buried in Riverside cemetery, 
the Masons being prominent in the serv- 
ices. 
PERSONAL 
F. H. Lyman, secretary Kenosha 
Cemetery Association, Kenosha, Wis., 
has sent Park and Cemetery photo- 
graphs of a new boulder cemetery wall, 
recently completed, which he predicts 
will be “a joy forever to our descend- 
ants and successors.” Three tons of 
drift boulders were gathered from one 
farm and used in the construction of 
the wall. 
Mr. Lyman invites delegates to the 
Cemetery Superintendents’ Convention, 
at Milwaukee, to stop over at Kenosha 
to see the wall. 
Mr. George F. Kessler, of Kansas 
City, has been reinstalled as landscape 
architect for the park board of St. Jo- 
seph, Mo. Mr. KeSsler severed his con- 
nection with the board last spring, but 
the necessity for his services had be- 
come so apparent even to those who
