n8  Meeting  of  New  York  Branch  A.  Ph.  A.  {^'Jruiv^llT 
Mr.  Runyon,  lifelong  friend  of  Mr.  Charles  Holzhauer  and 
Prof.  Joseph  Price  Remington,  in  touching  words  spoke  of  the  great 
loss  and  of  his  deep  regret  caused  by  the  deaths  of  his  two  friends. 
Finally  Prof.  Jeannot  Hostmann,  chairman  of  a  committee  ap- 
pointed to  draw  up  resolutions  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Holzhauer,  read 
the  following : 
IN  MEMORIAM. 
Charles  Holzhauer  has  answered  the  call  which  has  taken  him  to  the 
great  beyond.  Actively  engaged  in  retail  pharmacy  for  over  fifty  years  he 
leaves  behind  him  a  record  of  achievement's  well  worthy  of  emulation.  Hon- 
est, useful,  thorough,  untiring — are  some  few  of  the  adjectives  that  may  be 
truthfully  applied  to  his  life's  work.  He  believed  in  the  Golden  Rule,  and, 
believing  in  it,  he  lived  up  to  it.  He  was  devoted  to  his  family,  to  his  pro- 
fession, to  his  church,  to  his  associations — in  fact,  he  was  devoted  to  every- 
thing he  was  interested  in  and  he  was  interested  in  everything  that  makes 
this  life  worth  while.  His  advice,  often  sought  and  usually  found  sound,  was 
born  of  a  nature  absolutely  unselfish  and  noble.  Well  may  we  repeat  the 
words  of  the  poet, 
"  To  live  in  the  hearts  we  leave  behind  us  is  not  to  die." 
Insofar  that  the  members  of  the  New  York  Branch  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  wish  to  express  their  heartfelt  regret  caused  by 
the  taking  away  of  their  fellow  member,  Charles  Holzhauer,  be  it 
Resolved,  That  these  words  of  appreciation  be  inscribed  upon  a  page  set 
aside  in  the  minutes  of  this  meetiing,  and  be  it 
Furthermore  resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  instructed  to  send  a  copy 
thereof  to  the  widow  of  our  deceased  member. 
This  concluded  a  meeting  which  will  be  long  remembered  by 
those  present.  It  was  an  attempt  to  honor  Joseph  Price  Remington 
and  Charles  Holzhauer,  an  attempt  which  proved  a  failure,  for  is  it 
possible  for  any  meeting  of  men  to  honor  two  such  leaders  as  Rem- 
ington and  Holzhauer?  Two  such  men  who  were  so  far  beyond 
all?  Is  it  not  rather  an  impertinence  for  any  organization  of  men 
to  claim  that  they  can  possibly  honor  such  super-men.  No !  The 
meeting  proved  simply  to  be  a  small  touching  attempt  of  emulators 
to  express  their  admiration  for  Prof.  Joseph  Price  Remington  and 
Charles  Holzhauer,  departed  Giants  of  Pharmacy. 
Hugo  H.  Schaefer, 
Secretary.
