PARK AND CEMETERY. 
were his delight, and the upper portion 
of Beardsley park shows clearly the 
splendid ideas of the man and the love 
for his work. 
He was a man of very sunny disposi- 
tion, and he was always cheery and good 
natured. Some years ago he was one 
of the founders of the “Hello” club of 
the Odd Fellows, in which organization 
he was prominent for years, and his 
greeting was always “Hello, hello, hello,” 
in the pleasantest tone imaginable. 
This salutation will be greatly missed 
among the members of the fraternity 
at the annual gatherings of the park su- 
perintendents, and indeed by all who 
knew him, for he always greeted his 
friends that way. He was a good citi- 
zen, always with the best interests of 
the public at heart. Mr. Keith had 
filled all the chairs in Pequonnock lodge, 
I. O. O. F., and was a past chief patri- 
arch of Stratfield encampment, I. O. 
O. F., and was treasurer of that organi- 
zation for 15 years. He was also vice- 
president of the Israel Putnam Camp- 
ground Association, appointed by the 
late George L. Lilley. He was second 
vice-president of the American Associa- 
tion of Park Superintendents for sev- 
eral years, and would have been chosen 
as its president. The association, how- 
ever, by way of a compliment to him 
and appreciation of his worth on hear- 
ing of his illness elected him as presi- 
dent emeritus. Public servants of the 
type of Charles E. Keith can ill be 
missed, as there are few who are actu- 
ated by such a whole souled enthusiasm 
and love for their work as were his. 
As a man he was also an example which 
could not be ignored, and his death 
brings grief to many who will sincerely 
mourn his loss.
