Favorite of Dartmouth Students Dead

Alumni of recent years will share in the general student regret at the sudden death on January 11 of Walter H. Pelton, known to Dartmouth men as "Tony the popcorn man." Pelton was born and brought up in Hanover and lived here during all but five of his sixty years. In his younger days he was an expert driver and guided many a fourhorse coach. Of late years his green popcorn cart, where he dispensed frankfurters, popcorn, and good natured chaff to the undergraduates was one of the features of the campus in piping times of peace, and of the athletic field upon occasion of contests. A kindly and honest soul, "Tony" never imposed upon the students, and they in turn patronized him freely, so that, although he gave away a considerable part of his earnings, he had, at the time of his death, a tidy sum in the bank.
