OSCAR VERILHAC
Originally published in 1900 |
|
OSCAR VERILHAC, the well known florist of Arlington, N. J., is the son
of Matthew and Mary (Salee) Verilhac, and was born in Leon, France, on
the 19th of April, 1S47. His parents were both natives of that country. Mr.
Verilhac was educated in the public schools of Leon, and for a number of
years was successfully engaged in business as a florist there. He served in
the French army during the war with Germany, and in several important
battles displayed great
courage and bravery.
In 1876 Mr. Verilhac
came to New York City,
where he resumed his
business as a florist. In
1886 he removed to Arlington, Hudson County,
N. J., where he still resides, and where he has
since been engaged in the
same business. He is one
of the leading florists in
this part of the State,
and enjoys a reputation
for ability, thoroughness,
and fair dealing. Mr. Verilhac has won success through his own efforts, and since boyhood has displayed those intellectual qualifications of integrity and honor which distinguish the successful man. He has displayed in his adopted country the same degree of patriotism, public spirit, and energy which led him to volunteer as a soldier in the war between France and Germany, and which have always marked him as an exemplary citizen. He is thoroughly identified with the public affairs of the Borough of Arlington, a Democrat in politics, a member of the Presbyterian Church, and respected and esteemed. As a florist and horticulturist he is recognized as an authority. His knowledge of the science is broad and accurate, while the ability and fair dealing which he has displayed in business matters stamp him as a man eminently worthy of the success which he has attained. He was married, in 1884, to Selma Rothe, of Pearl River, Rockland County, N. Y.
