in his specialty, landscape architecture. 
Mr. Child devoted a considerable portion 
of his time to study of the conditions in 
southern Europe applicable to his growing 
practice in southern California, and also 
especially directed his attention to “city 
planning’’ work. He had the opportunity 
in England to visit, under the guidance of 
Mr. Unwin, the later’s work at Letchworth, 
The First Garden City, and Hampstead 
Garden Suburb, very valuable experiences. 
Mr. Arthur J. Graves, secretary and su- 
perintendent, Bloomington Cemetery Asso- 
ciation, Bloomington, 111., has been troubled 
with a throat complaint and is sojourning 
for a short time in the South, from which 
he has before received benefit. The Illi- 
nois State Monument Dealers’ Association 
had invited Mr. Graves to give an address 
at its meeting, just closed, at Bloomington, 
which he regretted much to have to de- 
cline. 
Mr. Sid J. Hare, of Kansas City, Mo., 
became a Fellow of the American Society 
of Landscape Architects at a recent meet- 
ing of that body. 
A few weeks ago Mr. Howard Evarts 
Weed, who in addition to his professional 
work in landscape planning has established 
the Beaverton Nursery in Portland, Ore., 
placed an exhibit of plans and nursery 
stock at the Portland Flower Show, and 
again a little later at the Land Products 
Show. At the former he was awarded a 
silver cup for the best display of plans, 
and at the latter was the only exhibitor of 
ornamental nursery stock. He reports a 
busy time and prospects good. 
OBITUARY 
Samuel P. Cumming, father of Mrs. Ed- 
ward G. Carter, died, aged 82 years, at the 
home of his daughter, 6359 Kimbark ave- 
nue, Chicago, December 16. Mr. Cumming 
was for many years in charge of the me- 
chanical department of Oakwoods Ceme- 
tery, but retired some years ago, feeling 
that he had performed his share of the 
world’s work. He was fond of books and 
travel and his health and means fortu- 
nately permitted him to enjoy both, his 
final illness being of short duration. Peoria 
was his former home, and burial was made 
in Springdale Cemetery, in that city.
