One of Our Most distinguished members, Dr. Egbert Fell of Rockford, Ill., 
died suddenly July 15, 1960, at his home. He was a member of the Illinois 
Audubon Society, the American Medical Association, the Rockford Nature 
Study Society, the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, and many 
other scientific organizations. His son, George B. Fell, also of Rockford, 
was elected recently to the Board of Directors of the |. A. S. 
Dr. Fell served many years as a psychiatrist for the Winnebago County 
Court and the Rockford Board of Education, retiring in 1950. He be- 
came interested in the ferns of Illinois in 1943, and soon developed, in 
his own words, into a ''self-appointed botanist.’ He wrote The Flora of 
Winnebago County and contributed many articles on plant life and con- 
servation to numerous medical and scientific journals, including the Audu- 
bon Bulletin. Dr. Fell donated over 3,500 specimens of Illinois plant life to 
the Rockford College herbarium. He was still actively working on the day 
of his death, leaving behind him an enormous contribution to the knowl- 
edge of the natural history of Northern Illinois.
