Falling Green
April 5^th. 1921
OCTOBER 1920

On the 5^th of October 1920 the Horticultural
met for the first time at Harwood.
This was one of our mid-day meetings, so
we gathered quite punctually by 12.30, &
were served with an especially delicious
luncheon before going into the business of
our meeting. At 2 o'clock our
Pres. called us to order - his opening
remarks were on the great loss our
society had suffered in the death
of its valued member Robert H. Miller.

Cornelia Bentley read a memorial to
him she had prepared for the society,
a copy of this was suggested being sent
to the members of his family, and it
was also to be copied in the minutes of
the society. The tribute she paid
him was so true, so beautiful. He
was one who always took such an
active interest in our meetings, & when
information was wanted on any subject,
it was to Robert Miller that we always
turned for advice. Yes
