Oscar Park Becklej;, president of the Berryhill Nursery ;, Harrisburg, Pa., died at his home Sunday, October 15, after a brief illness. For more than a quarter of a cen- tury Mr. Beckley was connected with i the J. Horace McFarland Co., first in the capacity of photographer, and in later years as salesman and sales man- ager.

Surviving Mr. Beckley are his moth- er, his wife, a daughter. Miss Lucile, and two sons, Oscar Beckley, Jr., and Park A. Beckley. The latter is in ac-. tive work with nursery interests.
