He was born in Germany in 1845 and was tluis 75 years old at his death. Mr. Michel had always been an espe- cially active man in the florists' busi- ness. He was the oldest member of the trade in St. Louis and was the head of the first florists' establishment in St. Louis, on Broadway near Pine street, under the name of Michel Bros. & Kern. This was fifty years ago. The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. suc- ceeded the old firm and moved to 1010 Olive street; it also operated a green- house range at Magnolia and Tower Grove avenues, now the Bourdet Floral Co. From here Mr. Michel moved to Kirkwood, where he started a nursery and grew outdoor flowers for the local market. His son, Eugene H. Michel, who was with his father until that time, moved his family to Riverton, N. J., having accepted the management of the new range of Henry A. Dreer, Inc. The father was one of the first mem- bers of the trade to join the St. Louis Florists' Club thirty-four years ago, but was not a member at the time of his death. No one in the trade was more respected or had more friends than Albert Michel, as he was better known to his friends. Mr. Michel had an attack of influenza last fall and was confined to his home with a recurrence of the attack thia spring, which caused his death. He is survived by his wife, two sons. Eugene H. and Frederick Michel, and four daughters, Mrs. C. C. Kendall, Mrs. B. Nehrling and Anna and Emma Michel, who were all present at the time of their father's death. The funeral took place May 27 from the residence on Geyer road, in Kirk- wood, Mo.; the interment was nt the old St. Marcus cemetery. Many in the trade attended the serv- ices at the home and extended their sympathies to the bereaved family. Many beautiful floral emblems filled the room. J. J. B. Maurice
