nurserymen and horticulturists. For 
the past six years (with the exception 
of the year when he was abroad) he 
had spent part of each summer at 
Siasconset, Nantucket Island, Mass., 
where he was this summer occupying 
with his family a new summer cot- 
tage. He leaves one son who is near- 
ly ready to enter Cornell, a step- 
daughter who lived at home, two 
step-sons in Canada and three sisters. 
Through many months of more or 
less constant suffering, he was al- 
ways thinking of something he might 
do which would make other people 
happier. He was hopeful to the very 
last day, and optimistic in the midst 
of his terrible suffering. Burial will 
take place next spring at his old home 
at Abbotsford, Quebec. The follow- 
ing is a brief official record of his 
career from “Who’s Who in Ameri-
