JESSE O'QUINN, FLORIST, DEAD
Rsieigh Times.

We wish We could say it with
flowers for Jesse L. O'Qulnn whom
death met suddenly and snatched
from a community in which he had
Ilabored so long and effectively just
VIXEN he had gotten around to the
place where he was willing to take
some time out for recreation. There
| is abundant pathos in the picture OF
train in a hurry running dc%n
Jesse who for once in his busy lie
was not.
We repeat that we'd like to ex-
press with flowers some part of the
appreciation which the community
feels for the active life that has end
ed. Jesse said it with flowers. Do you
remember how when Red Cross cam
paigns were on J. L. O'Quinn, florist
was so prompt to give a days re-
ceipts from the sale Of his flowers
to the cause?
Self-made was Florist O'Quinn,
hut into his making must have gone
muclr Of the fragrance and beauty OF
his. .4o1ers. How else can 0ne explain
the fact that Capitalist O'Quinn FIND
ing time for play at siXty-three put
out for the open with fishing pole
for company? However. surface in
dications are not required in proof
Neighbors and business associates
knew him for his simple friendH-
ness: the lower Polk street childran
loved to play around his greenhouse
and came home with flowers.
In the business and commercial
life Of the community other business
men knew where to find him. He was
until recently, when he retired from
his florists business and yielded his
classification to his succesCr. an ac
tive Rotarian and ever willing to
hold up hi end at anything proposed
in behalf of the community as d
whole.

Germans Poor Vision Caused Him
to Put out the Wrong Flags

Chicago. Ill. July 5.--August Geb-
hardt's poor eyesight led him into an
error yesterday which proved danger
Gus for him. He hung up two flags in
front of his home in honor OF Inde-
pendence DAY. but the boys in the
neighborhood identified them as flaGs
of the former German Empire. They
had succeeded in pulling down one
and burning it when Gebhardt came
out and started fight.
Convinced that because of his fail
ing eyesight he had hung up German
instead of American flags, Gebhardt
took down the other and burned 1t
and replaced them with the stars and
Stripes.

which the departed one was held by
'his many friends who had assembled
at the grave.
Robert was "A young man just TWEEN
Ety-one years OF age. just beginning
'iife, az II were. and his sudden demisa
has caused a gloom to fall over the
entire community In which he lived.
A pleasing and good natured dis
position was his characteristic ana
was often commented on by his asso-
ciates and those with whom he met
each day in a business as well as So
cial way.
He was devoted to parents and
bowed the associations OF home rather
than the frivilous things OF life.
At the time OF his death he was
bookkeeper at the First National
Bank and had held other positions
Of trust. His keen business ability and
oieasant disposition peculiarly fitted
hIm for positions Of trust and his pro-
notion would have been rapid.
Robert will be missed by his many
friends at Snyder and elsewhere. and
though absent the memory of his bis
heartedness and his kind and affec-
tfonate disposition shall ever linger in
the hearts OF HIS associates and
frinds.
We are reminded that death is no
Inspector of persons, that 1t plucks
the youth as we'll as the old. that in
the miG3t OF life there is death. But
heartaches will be healed by the ever
rccuring memories Of the beautiful
ne Of the one who has passed away.
