CLASS OF 1906
Remsen Varick died on the morning of January 14 at the Elliot Hospital, Manchester, N. H., where he had undergone an operation for appendicitis on the 5th.
Mr. Varick was born in Manchester, November 11, 1883, being the youngest son of the late John B. Varick. His preliminary education was obtained in the public schools of Manchester and at Milton (Mass.) Academy. In College he was a member of Psi Upsilon and the Sphinx. After graduation he was for a time in a hardware establishment in Philadelphia, and later returned to Manchester to connect himself with the John B. Varick Company, one of the foremost hardware houses of the country, which his father had founded. In the latter part of 1909 he sold out his interest in the company, and January 1, 1910, entered the investment business in the firm of Shontell and Varick. He became actively identified with the commercial activities of the city, and held membership in the Derryfield Club and the Country Club. He was fond of athletics, but seldom took part personally in any branch of sport except tennis, which he played with enthusiasm.
February 5, 1910, Mr. Varick was married to Florence Marguerite, daughter of Charles Francis Merrill of Manchester. She survives him, with his mother and two half brothers.
A newspaper notice characterizes the deceased as "capable, manly, and most likable, giving promise of a life of usefulness, who enjoyed the esteem and admiration of a multitude of acquaintances."
