Of this visit we wrote at the time when describing his " Home of the Honey Bee'' in a former issue as follows :—" Starting from our headquarters at Leamington Spa on a fine day in the ' show ' •week, we drove four or five miles through a beautiful part of Warwickshire before reach- ing Honey Cott. And a very pretty little 'cot' it is; nicely retired—just far enough how many of God's bast gilts are available in a humble home with such occupants as John Walton

And a very pretty little 'cot' it is; nicely retired—just far enough how many of God's bast gilts are available in a humble home with such occupants as John Walton and his good wife.'' A recent letterifrom'his son tells that, afier recovering from his illness of last year, he felt a recurrence of his old trouble, viz., gastrifis, a few days ago, and kept his bed, when on the 7th a sudden sharp pang of pain caused heart failure, and he passed peacefully JOHN WALTON. Born June 10, 1831. Died March 7, 1903. away from the main road to suit the owner of a goodly stock of bee-hives—and surrounded by all that makes a ' model' for an English cottager's home. The front, facing south, is covered by a large plum-tree, loaded with fruit when we saw it. Flowers, fruit, and vegetables grow in abundance in the good- sized and well-kept garden facing the cottage. Indeed, the neatness, scrupulous cleanness, and order prevailing everywhere, inside and out, made it quite delighiful to contemplate In sincerely sympathising with the bereaved family we add a closing line from his son's letter:—" You, who knew him, will have recog- nised his perseverance and industry in all that concerns bee-keeping. We who mourn him nearest can look back upon a model of a life of strenuous earnestness, of uprightness and. integrity, and certainly of him the Master shall say : ' Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.'". Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally
