CLASS OF 1897

Dr. Charles Frank Caverly died March 6 of Bright's disease at his residence in the city of Boston. He was born in Norway, Me., Nov. 26, 1867, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. John L. Home. His mother having died soon after his birth, he was adopted by an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Caverly of Rochester, N. H., and took their name. He prepared for college at Rochester High School and Phillips Exeter Academy, and was two years a student at Harvard. Here he gained a reputation as an athlete, winning the championship as a heavy weight boxer. At Dartmouth he was the center of the football eleven of 1894, but was afterwards ineligible, owing to the adoption of the rule disqualifying students in professional schools. After obtaining his degree he was for a year house physician in St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Boston, and was then connected for two years with the City Hospital. He remained in Boston, opening an office in the South End, and acquiring a large practice. He was married, Nov. 25, 1890, to Lottie, daughter of Henry F. Walker of Rochester, N. H., who survives him, without children.
