Gertrude M. Altemus, a gardener who used her knowledge of horticulture toreturn historic gardens to their former state, died Wednesday at her homein Middletown.
Known to her friends as Gipsey, Ms. Altemus was the daughter of JamesDobson Altemus of Philadelphia, PA, and Rosalie Pillot Altemus of NewYork and Newport, RI. She is predeceased by her brother the late PeterStuyvesant Pillot Altemus of Tuxedo Park, NY.
An inveterate traveler, Altemus was born in New York City and grew up inNewport but spent much of her adult life pursuing an eclectic amalgam oftalents. She moved to Japan after her marriage, to Jerzyk Hutten-Czapski,an electronics specialist in U.S. Army who was stationed there during theKorean War, and then to Argentina, his home, before returning in 1963 toPalm Beach, where she became a reporter for the Palm Beach Gazette.
Ms. Altemus moved back to New York City in 1966 and went to work for theAd Council, where she helped to develop such public service ad campaignsas Smokey The Bear. She then took a job as an executive assistant at TheNew Yorker and started summering in the Hamptons, where she met thelandscape artist, Sheridan Lord. The two were married and built a housein Sagaponack.
In 1970 she met and married her third husband, Charles Vanderveer III aresident of Bridgehampton, Long Island, and an authority of Long IslandAntiquities. The couple moved to Bridgehampton痴 Whiskey Hill Farm, namedafter a distillery that produced a renowned local brew duringProhibition. While there, she started a self-sufficient farm that raisedlivestock and sold produce at a roadside stand while providing a pettingzoo, including pony rides, to area visitors.
During that time Ms. Altemus wrote a horticulture column for theSouthampton Press and quickly began focusing on organic gardening and thehistoric characteristics of gardens. Dissatisfied with local preschools,Altemus, the mother of five children, including two toddlers, started analternative nursery, The Farm School. It used Whiskey Hill Farm as thefoundation of the curriculum and emphasized hands-on experience with farmanimals.
While living in Bridgehampton, she and her husband developed an auctioncompany, Charles Vanderveer Country Auctioneer. The company, whichconducted up to 10 auctions a season, became renowned throughout theHamptons - as much for providing family entertainment as for makingcountry style chic.
A graduate of Miss Collins School and Milton Academy, Ms. Altemus movedback to Newport in 1978 and started a catering business, The Brown Bag,which she based in her ice cream/clam cake shop at King痴 Park inNewport. As part of that business, she became the exclusive caterer forThe Advance Syndicate, an Australian competitor in the 1983 America痴Cup. Time spent with the syndicate sparked a renewed interest in sailingwhich led to a variety of sailing experiences including that of crewingon square riggers in a sail training program.She moved to 1276 Green End Avenue, Middletown, RI in 1991 and becameinvolved with the Newport Garden Club. Her specialty was restoring herbgardens, which she did for Green Animals in Portsmouth and the WhitehallMuseum House. She was a member of the Colonial Dames of America, TheNewport Garden Club, and Spouting Rock Beach Association, to which herfamily belonged for generations.
She is survived by two sons Michael Hutten-Czapski and Charles StuyvesantVanderveer, both of Middletown; three daughters, Gertrude Mercer "Lowie"Crisp, of Newport, Maria "Bondi" Macomber and Sarah Altemus Vanderveer,both of Middletown; a step brother, Julian Sloan, and five grandchildren.
A memorial service was held on Saturday, January 18, 2003 at 1:00 p.m. inthe St. Columba, The Berkeley Memorial Chapel, Vaucluse Avenue,Middletown.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to TheWhitehall Committee, Altemus Orchard Fund, 21 Bull Street, Newport, RI,02840.

Gipsey was a good dancer.
When she moved back to Newport she loved renewing old
acquaintances, and returning to the fun she always had at
Bailey's Beach.
She delighted in introducing her children to her childhood.
Clearly, Newport was where she felt she belonged.
We're all lucky she came back.There was nothing ordinary about Gips. She was stubborn, and oftenopionated, but she was also intensely curious about everything. She wasascerbic, but articulate; she read voraciously. In short, she could talkto anybody about anything when she felt like it.
Gipsey was also an intrepid risk-taker.
Does anyone remember MOSTLY FISH?Most of all, I will remember Gipsey as the family glue for
Michael
Lowie
Bondi
Sarah and
Stuyvie.She was a seat-of-the-pants mother, who, in recent years, found enormousjoy in her grandchildren. She earned her stripes with Mercer and soon hadthe living room filled with transformer toys for Raymo. She planted amoon garden hide-away for the children, hosted christenings and birthdayparties and the group soon included lsabelle and Georgie and the newestprincess, Bridget.
Her family was her delight and her best legacy!This is a quote which sums her up, as if one could sum Gipsey
up with any degree of success!
"Live with intention.
Walk to the edge.
Listen hard.
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon.
Laugh.
Choose with no regret.
Continue to learn.
Appreciate your friends.
Do what you love."
