Hall, of Clyde, O., died at his home on Piety Hill, May 3. He was nearly 53 years of age. His severe ill- ness of four weeks' duration was due to a relapse after having a siege of the grip. Mr. Hall was a son of Ezra and Nancy Hall and was born May 18, 1857, in Clyde, where he spent all of his life. He was married to Eva Stark June 17, 1885. To this union were born six children— four sons, Eugene, Breese, Uoyd and Frank, and two daughters. Amy and Lulu, who, with the wife and mother, are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. He also leaves an aged father, Ezra Hall, who thirty years ago started as a florist and gardener in Clyde. He retired in 1898 and the busi- ness has since been carried on by his son, the subject of this sketch, in a most prosperous manner, and in later years he has been assisted by his sons, Eugene and Breese. Through his prosperous business aa a florist ho gained a wide reputation and was also well known and highly respected by the community at large. Funeral services were held from the home Friday afternoon, May 6, with in- terment in McPherson cemetery. The florists in attendance were Messrs. Krueger and Bayer, of Toledo, 0., and I. Husbands, of Bellevue, 0. Deceased was a member of the following orders: S. A. F., American Carnation Society, Toledo Florists' Club and the Indepen- dent Order of Foresters. Henry C Eickhoff. Henry C. Eickhofl', a nurseryman of Julietta, near Indianapolis, Ind., died of heart trouble April 29, at his home on the Michigan road. Mr. Eickhoff was born June 9, 1853, on the farm where since his twentieth year he carried on the nursery business. Originally he conducted the business in partnership with his brother, Edward A. Eickhoff, under the firm name of Eick- hoff Bros., nurserymen. In later years, however, he conducted the business in his own name. His home and surround- ings were always a beautiful example of landscape gardening. In 1907 he be- came ill with heart disease and compli- cations, from which he never fully re- covered. He leaves a widow, formerly Miss Elizabeth Kuehn, and eight children, five girls and three boys. Jonathan Keim. Jonathan Keim, a retired florist of Pottstown, Pa., died May 2, at the age of 93 years. His family was one noted for longevity, a number of his brothers and sisters living to be nonagenarians. MRS. McKELLAR. Long known among convention-goers as the champion of the lady bowlers, Mrs. C. W. McKellar has added another accomplishment, that of driving a six- cylinder car. Mrs. McKellar is as enthu- siastic an automobilist as she is a bowler, and as successful, for in the first auto- mobile floral parade at Chicago, held this week, she won first prize for her six-cylin- der Winton, vermilion red, decorated with Asparagus plumosus and poinsettias. The accompanying illustration is from a pho- tograph made just after the parade. Mr. McKellar's special pleasure is to occupy the mechanician's seat, as in the picture. Meridex, Conn.—John Bonell, besides being a member of the florists' trade, with an establishment at 131 Converse avenue, has also, for the last fifteen years, held a responsible position as fore- man in the pen department of the Miller Bros. Cutlery Co. Now, however, he has severed his connection with the cutlery firm and he will thus be able to give more attention to his interests as a flo- rist, though he may also engage in other ' business.
