OBITUARY. 
Charles E. Keith, Superintendent of 
Parks, Bridgeport, Conn., and one of 
the best known and most popular park 
men in the country, died August 15, a 
few days after his associates and friends 
at the Boston convention of the Ameri- 
can Association of Park Superintendents 
had elected him President Emeritus of 
that organization. Mr. Keith's death came 
following a shock while driving about 
Beardsley Park. Mr. Keith was a native 
of New Canaan, and was born on June 5, 
1848. He obtained his education in the 
public schools of his native place, and 
then entered Hoyt nurseries, where he 
learned the florist’s business. His intense 
natural love for flowers and trees made 
him an expert in this line. When he 
first came to Bridgeport he entered the 
employ of the Warner Brothers com- 
pany, soon leaving, however, to start in 
the florist’s business. He remained 
there until fifteen years ago, when he 
was selected to be the superintendent 
of the Bridgeport parks. He married 
Miss Eva Booth, of Manchester, and 
she is still living, although an invalid 
for the past fourteen years. He leaves 
two sons, Arthur S. Keith, employed by 
the Lake Torpedo Boat Company, Harry 
D. Keith, a letter carrier, and a daugh- 
ter, Miss Una E. Keith, who lives at 
home. A sister, Mrs. Malloy, of New 
Canaan, and two brothers, Royal Simeon 
Keith, of New York City, and Robert 
Keith, in the Virginian Soldiers’ home, 
also survive. A brother, Postmaster 
Bradley Keith, of Norwalk, Conn., died 
but a short time ago. C. E. Keith, the 
druggist, is a nephew. Mr. Keith en- 
joyed a national reputation as an ex- 
pert on park landscapes, and one has 
but to glance at the two beautiful parks 
which have done much to make the city 
well known, to realize that his reputa- 
tion was an earned and deserved one. 
He was an intense lover of nature and 
was an expert on trees and flowers as 
well. It was a liberal education to ride 
with him through either of the parks 
and have him tell about the different 
trees and hear of the plans which he had 
for the future. His heart and soul 
were in his work and this is another rea- 
son why he was so successful. Seaside 
park was the first to show the touch of 
his master hand, and the long stretch 
beyond the Barnum monument is a 
tribute to his skill. The flower plots, 
the shade trees along the boulevard
