Bill, I was waiting for you to write it up! Perhaps as an installment in the
What's in a Name series in ROOTS? I did one of those already on Alice
Harding, one of my own heroines, and Donald Eaves is doing one that will rock
the casbah.
A friend and I were just talking about this question the other day when I
went by to pick up a few rhizomes. She'd heard William A. Setchell was
someone involved with tobacco, and judging by the amount of that iris in this
town that is rather plausible. Maybe that middle initial distinguishes him.
I'm really going to have to let someone else do the research on this one. I'm
writing up an article now for the Anniversary Edition of our Regional
Newscast on the early days of irises in Richmond and surrounding areas and
have nearly blinded my poor eyes looking at microfilms. And I've got two
other articles researched and ready to be pulled together when I finish.
And then, of course, there is the usual HIPSource business at this time of
year...and some few things need to be dug...
