A Noted Horticulturist
An ardent horticulturist, Mr. Wainwright was at his happiest when he was among his flowers. Not only were the blooms and plants a hobby, but they provided considerable revenue from the many customers who made purchases. A source of great pride to Mr. Wainwright was the floral coronation display that he raised this past summer which was viewed by many residents. He is survived by his wife (Jessie).
