E.J. SLAWSON DIES;
SALESMAN 60 YEARS
Frank J. (Skip) Slawson, 91, formerly of 21 Springate St., a salesman for 60 years with Bowers Brothers, Inc. until he retired in 1950, died yesterday in the Masonic Home.
Mr. Slawson became a familiar figure to Uticans and to people on his sales routes through the white flower that he wore on his lapel each day for 56 years. The custom began when he was making a sales call in Norwich and the late Edward F. Quinn, a florist there, stuck a carnation in his buttonhole. From then on, Mr. Slawson wore some kind of white flower each day.
Born in Whitesboro, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard F. Slawson. Slawson Sr. was an undertaker in Utica for many years.
He came with his family to Utica when he was eight and sold the old Saturday Globe to such prominent people as Senator roscoe Conkling, Thomas E. Kinney and Judge P.F. Bulger.
Mr. Slawson was active in athletics as a youth and played baseball with the Ninth Ward Regulars as catcher. He also played on the Utica Free Academy football team. He was graduated from that school in 1886, as one of the youngest members of his class.
Mr. Slawson had been associated with Bowers Brothers since the firm was established by the brothers at 219 Columbia St. It is now located on the Truck Route 5 A.
Mr. Slawson was also known as a speaker and writer on a variety of subjects.
He was a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Oriental Lodge. F & AM.
He married Marion E. Hyde in 1896, in Utica. She died in 1945.
He leaves a son Howard H. Slawson, New Hartford.
The funeral will be at 10 Monday from the Lankton, Townsend & Cronk Funeral Home, with the Rev. John U. Miller, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will be in Forest Hill Cemetery.
Calling hours are from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 today and tomorrow at the funeral home. [1]
