Rev. John Hall-Out of TOWN. atoring
Place Notes.-The Centennial.
NEW YORK, Aug 5, 1876.
In the recent mortuary list, notice the
name of Peter Martin, one Of whose last
requests was that no flowers should be used
AZ his funeral. Mr.. Martin was an old
fashioned man, and had from observation
concluded that the flower fashion had
reached an excess which deserves reproof.
1t is certainly large increase in funeral
expense, and many who cannot afford it
are under the compulsion of fashion. From
800 to $500 Is the floral bill at what are
called respectable funerals, and sometimes
thrice the last mentioned sum il expended.
| Mr.. Martins request is the first practical
sermon directed against this outlay. No
| doubt it will have some effect, for many
feel that the enormous expense of funerals
| is not only foolish, but is morally wrong.
| In this connection it may be mentioned
that jim Fisk's coffin was heaped with
| flowers, whose cost Gin january was not
less than 81 600 The only flowers at Mr..
Martins funeral was the tribute of society
to one of its valued members-a man of
signal honesty and irreproachable charac-
ter. Such flowers do not fade.
THE MARTINS.
They were three brothers, who came
from New Jersey many years ago, and be-
came jobbng grocers, trade which made
them rich. How strange it now seems to
recall the fact that the vicinity of the Bat
terry was the centre of this business. Here
milford Martin, with his brother, Peter
and William, reached distinction and
wealth. milford died about three years
ago, leaving an estate worth two millions.
He had at an early day invested heavily in
the suburbs of Brooklyn, and the advance
was beyond his highest dreams. Peter
also became a man of wealth, and William,
the sole survivor, is well to do in the world.
This leads to the remark that New Jersey
has supplied large number of our most
thrifty businers men. Let any one ira
verse the North river district" and he
will notice the abundance of Jersey names,
a style entirely different from that OF our
own state or Of New England. There are
the Mettlers, the Apgars, the Duckworths,
the S,igcra, etc, They come hither poor,
but they generally end in wealth. The
HOppocks are prominent business iaInily
which has risen thus to distinction Ley
| ApgGr, president OF the North hiVer oahk'
was once poor Jersey lad, and other names
could be mentioned.
