CLASS OF 1879

Frank Linus Biddlecom died in Ouray, Colo., March 27, of pneumonia, after an illness of three days. He was born in Waukegan, Ill., December 12, 1856, and entered this class in the Chandler Scientific Department at the beginning of the course, remaining through the four years. In the fall of 1879 he went to Denver, Colo., and was employed for one season on the engineer corps of the Denver, South Park, and Pacific Railroad, then in process of construction. He was then United States deputy land surveyor for a time, being again employed by the railroad company in the summer of 1881. After a short time in business in Denver as a merchant tailor, he returned to government work as deputy land surveyor. In 1886 he went to Ouray, and was there associated for three years with the firm of Reed Brothers (one of the brothers was David R. Reed '79) as United States deputy mining surveyor, and afterwards continued independently in the same line of work until 1907. From the last date he was more or less engaged in mining. In April, 1886, he was married to Sue S. Nash of Ouray. This union, to which no children were born, was dissolved by divorce in 1905. Mr. Biddlecom was connected with the orders of Elks and Woodmen, the Elks conducting the funeral service. The burial was at Wauke gan, Ill., his old home.

John B. Morrill was appointed by the governor and council of New Hampshire, May 13, probate judge of Belknap county, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of W. B. Fellows '80.
