 Gus Heyman was man of ex5 ceptional personality. Coming to Arizona over a third of a century ago as a commercial traveller, his
 first trip won for him a splendid name particularly in business circles, which lasted to the end. He had tender heart for the needy and dis ,ressed. One of his beautiful char acteristics was exemplihed every Christmas. when he would send a bunch of flowers to every public place or private house in which he knew there was sickness or misfor- tune And in another way he prov
 cd his affection toward the Arizona pioneer by donating the furniture and fixtures of one entire room in the pioneers home when it was dedicated in Prescott for occupancy. "The Pilgrims of the Hassayampa deserve all they are getting, and l am assisting them as best I can,' was the modest manner in which he turned this donation over to the trustees of the home. Heyman later was appointed Librarian of the
 Home, asking this favor that he might collect literature that flowed into the institution from every sec ton of the country.

occupied by Rev. Mr.. Adams, OF Connecti-
