Vestal & Son, Little Bock and Argenta, Ark., died at his home on Eiverside drive, Argenta, August 6, after an illness of two weeks. Although Mr. Vestal had b^eu in ill health during the last year, his condi- tion was not considered serious until shortly before his death. He was 82 years of age and is survived by his wife, one son, Charles Vestal, and two daugh- ters, Mrs. William Smith, of Argenta, and Mrs. Ella Wiggle, of Chicago.

He came to this country forty-six years ago, and in 1901 bought a greenhouse range on the Potomac river. In February, 1916, he added a retail store to his holdings. Mr. Bopp was the third of his family to die by drowning, his father having lost his life under similar circumstances in Ger- many, and his son, William Bopp, hav- ing been drowned several years a
