In the midst of their great bereavement it cannot but bring some comfort to the family, as it surely is gratifying to us, that our lamented friend has left behind him, fostered by his, kindly encouragement, a worthy aspirant to the respect and fame which he himself has nobly earned. Dr. Bernard C. Steiner, a graduate of Yale College, of Johns Hopkins Univers- ity and Professor of History at Williams College, Mass., and eldest son of the man that is so dear to our memory, will succeed to the position left vacant by the death of his father.

Mr. J. Alexander Shriver, a late member of the Society, whose ancestors (Schreiber) came originally from Alsenborn, Germany, was born in the city of Baltimore on February 3rd. 1821. He occupied during his life time many positions of trust and was president of the Ericsson Line of Steamers up to the time of his death. His uniting with our Society gave proof, that though generations had been born and died since his ancestors came over from the Fatherland, he still took an earnest interest in the labors of those sturdy pioneers. Mr. Shriver departed this life, greatly lamented by a large circle of friends, as well as by this Society, on the Ist of March 1891.
Mr. Christopher Lipps, whose death the society had to record during the year, was born in Mainbernheim, Bavaria, on the 29th of October 1819. He came to this country in 1815 and by his indomitable energy rose to one of the largest and best known manufacturers of Baltimore City. He took an earnest interest in a great many of the social as, well as Benevolent Societies of the city and died on the 13th of April 1891.
Mr. Herman von Kapf, another departed member, was one of the best known German-American merchants in the city. He was born in Lorngo, Duchy of Lippe-Detmold on the 29th of April 1818, and came to this country at the age of 21 years. He also was an active member of many of the German Soci- eties of the city and for a number of years was the honored president of the "German Society of Maryland." He died on the 30th of April 1892.
Frederick Polmyer, business manager of the "German Correspondent," was born on March 16th, 1848 in Baltimore city; he was educated at "Knapp's Institute" and at an early age entered the business of his uncle, F. Raine, in which he was engaged for over twenty years in the capacity of business manager. He died on August 16th, 1891.

Dr. John H. Smith was one of the earliest members of the society. He was born in Baltimore city on 6th of May 1848. His medical studies he prosecuted in Cincinnati, Ohio. and then for nineteen years was a most successful physician in this city. In 1889 he left his large practice and went to Europe to prepare himself for a special branch in medical science. After spending two years in the world-renowned medical schools and hospitals of Heidelberg, Prague, Munich, Vienna and Berlin, he returned to Baltimore and established an institute in his special branch, looking forward with good reason to a most useful and successful exercise of his acquired greater skill. He was suddenly, without a moment's warning, removed from this earth on the evening of the 7th of December 1891.
