CLASS OF 1892

Dr. John Clement Kenney died in Winchendon, Mass., August 20. He was born in Boston, Mass., October 1, 1858. He was left an orphan in his childhood and without near relatives, and his preliminary and medical education was secured through his own exertions. He practiced for some years in Sharon, Vt., and later in Winchester, N. H. His wife died two years ago, and he had of late made his home with his two sons, Walter B. and Clarence C., who are both practicing physicians in Winchendon.

Dr. Clarence Currier Day died at his home in Newburyport, Mass., October 17, of pneumonia resulting from influenza, after an illness of eight days.

He was the son of Rev. Nathaniel and Mary L. (Currier) Day, and was born in Newton, N. H., November 30, 1865.

After obtaining his medical degree in the fall of 1891, he was interne in the Cambridge (Mass.) Hospital for a year, and then practiced for a year in his native town. In 1893 he removed to Newburyport, and a local newspaper speaks of his "enviable reputation because of his exceptional ability, his conscientious devotion to duty, his uniform courtesy, and his lofty Christian character."

He was examining physician for several insurance companies, and some of the largest manufacturing companies of the city uniformly called on him for service when any of their employees met with an accident. He was city physician for several years, until his increasing private practice caused him to decline further appointment.

He served several terms on the school board. He was a member and officer of the Prospect St. Congregational church, and after its merger with the Central church he continued his membership there, and was a member of its board of deacons. He was active in temperance work and as an advocate of no-license.

Dr. Day was a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, the Essex North Medical Society, and the Newburyport Medical Club, and was one of the staff of the Anna Jaques Hospital.

In April, 1894, he was married to Mary E„ daughter of John S. and Ellen (Fitz) Cross of Newburyport, who survives him, with one daughter.
