We announee with deepest regret the death of .lohn 
Vail Lindley, on .lune 13, 1918. He was horn Novianhci- 
3, 1838. 
lie was the founder and since its organization, presi¬ 
dent of the J..Van Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona, North 
Carolina. 
In our June issue we gave a sketch of the life of the 
late John Van Lindley under the heading of “Deans of 
the Nursery Business.” 
The first hero from Pike County, Ca., to give up his 
life on the battle line in France, for liberty and civiliza¬ 
tion, was Sergeant Leroy Todd, of Concord, Ca. He was 
formerly an employe of Smitli Bros. Nursery Co., but 
bad been in the army over a year. He had been in France 
nearly a year. His death occurred on the battle line 
June 2nd. He was a member of tbe Marines. He has 
two brothers now working for Smith Bros., both being 
too young to enlist. He left $10,000 insurance to his 
mother, who lives on the Smith Bros, place, not far from 
their office. _
