RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

The death on February 9Th, 1921,
of Mrs. William Anderson, the Hon
orary president of the Garden Club
of Alma was a sorrow to all who
knew her. It was, too, heavy loss
to the cause of fine flower-gardening
throughout this county and this part
Of the state. For many years, she
had been giving away flowers, plants,
seeds, by hundreds. Her knowledge
of gardening was thorough, her de-
light in her flowers unbounded; her
work among them unending. At 81
she was still spading, hoeing, moving
her welI-kept strips of lawn between
her beds and borders, and welcoming
all who came for or through flowers.
The Garden Club Of Alma hereby re-
cords its sense of great loss in that
Of Mrs. Anderson and the fact that
her memory will always be fragrant
one among them. Signed:
Louisa Y. King, President.
Mabelle w. Lamb, Secretary.

only one worth while. He said:

lieve me, you can only see about
