Sweet, a nurseryman of Da^sville, N. Y., died at his home on Main street November 13, at the age of 68 years.

After a brief illness, Isaac Husbands, a well known and highly respected resi- dent of Bellevue, O., died November 23, aged 75 years and 7 months. The de- ceased had been in failing health since last spring, but was able to be up and around until two weeks ago, when he took to his bed. Mr. Husbands was born in Shrop- shire, England, where he learned the business of florist and landscape gar- dener. He came to America at the age of 21, locating first in Cleveland, where he remained for a few years, and then returned to his old home in England, where he was married to Miss Alice Gough. Four children, all living, were born to this union. They are: Richard Henry, of Spokane, Wash.; Charles, of Cleveland; Mrs. J. G. Norbury, of Crewe, England, and Miss Eleanor Hus- bands, of Bellevue. Mr. Husbands re- turned to America in 1877, bringing his family, and located in Cleveland, where for many years he was employed as gardener at the home of Hon. Dan P. Ells.
