CLASS OF 1883

The death of Reverend T. M. Edmands by accidental drowning on December 21, 1905, near his home in Wahpeton, N. D., makes the twelfth since graduation. It seems that he; left his home for a walk, in the forenoon. His failure to return at noon caused alarm and search was immediately instituted. His hat was found floating in a hole in the ice, in Red River, that had been cut for watering cattle. After two weeks' effort, the hope of recovering the body was abandoned until spring. Edmands was born in Chelmsford, Vt., Jan. 4, 1858. After graduation he taught a year, then entered Andover Theological Seminary, graduating in 1887. He filled several minor pastorates, and was pastor of the Congregational church at Mankato, S. D., from 1896 to 902, going thence to the Wahpeton church. On August 27, 1889, he married Jennie Bartlett of Island Pond, Yt., who, with a daughter of thirteen, survives him and has returned to her old home. Besides these his only surviving relatives are his father and a brother, Edmands '86.
