CLASS OF 1874

Lloyd Thompson Mead, who was for a part of freshman year a member of this class, died March 4 of valvular disease of the heart at the Elliot Hospital, Manchester, N. H.

He was born in Northwood, N. H., July 5, 1853, his father being John G. Mead, a merchant of that town. He fitted for college at Northwood Academy. After his short connection with Dartmouth he went into business, first in Salem, N. H., then in Natick and Spencer, Mass. About thirty years since he removed to Manchester and purchased the City News Company, in which business he had since been engaged.

In 1908 he was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for mayor of the city. Mr. Mead was prominent in fraternal circles, and was one of the best known men in Manchester.

Soon after coming to Manchester, he was married to Alice, daughter of Ezra Huntington, who survives him, without children.
