Charles  Holz  hauer. — It  has  again  become  our  sad  duty  to 
record  the  decease  of  another  leader  of  American  pharmacy. 
Charles  Holzhauer,  President  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation, died  suddenly  at  his  home  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  on  Monday 
afternoon,  November  19,  at  the  age  of  sixty-nine  years.  He  was  at 
home,  playing  with  his  grandchildren,  whose  company  and  play  he 
greatly  enjoyed,  when  the  call  of  death  came. 
Charles  Holzhauer  was  a  self-made  man  in  every  sense  that 
these  words  imply.  He  applied  himself  energetically  in  whatever 
he  undertook ;  be  it  his  personal  business,  Association  work  in  phar- 
macy, work  of  the  church,  corporation  or  civic  duty  alike  received 
his  enthusiastic  best  efforts.  Those  who  were  associated  with  him 
in  pharmaceutical  circles  knew  of  his  generous,  big-hearted  philan- 
thropy by  his  deeds  and  never  by  any  statements  of  his  own,  for  he 
was  not  wont  to  say  much  about  his  personal  doings  and  disliked 
anything  pertaining  to  show  or  notoriety. 
In  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association,  he  was  the 
leader  whose  sound  judgment  and  advice  was  sought  in  many  trying 
situations.  In  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  he  was 
always  faithful  in  attendance  and  noteworthy  in  service,  and  it  is 
our  most  sincere 'regret  that  he  was  not  spared  to  fulfil  his  ambition 
to  carry  into  effect  his  plans  as  president  for  this  year. 
Mr.  Edward  A.  Sayre,  a  personal  friend  and  pharmaceutical  as- 
sociate of  many  years,  will  contribute  to  an  early  number  of  the 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  an  appropriate  memoir  of  our 
deceased  friend. 
Sir  Edward  Evans.  On  October  10,  at  Spital  Old  Hall,  Brom- 
borough,  Cheshire,  death  claimed  Sir  Edward  Evans,  who  long  held 
a  prominent  position  in  the  wholesale  drug  circles  in  England.  He 
was  the  second  son  of  Edward  Evans  and  grandson  of  the#  founder 
of  the  wholesale  drug  business  now  carried  on  by  Evans  Sons, 
Lesher  &  Webb,  Ltd.,  of  London  and  Liverpool  and  with  branches 
in  Montreal  and  New  York.  At  the  time  of  his  decease  he  was 
chairman  of  this  corporation.
