CLASS OF 1912

Morrill Hough died December IS at the Agnes Memorial Sanatorium in Denver, Colo., after an acute illness of two weeks.

He was born in Dover, N. H., October 10, 1889, the second son of Harry and Carrie B. (Morrill) Hough. His father was a nongraduate member of the class of 1875 in Dartmouth, and he was a brother of Philip Hough '09 and Woodbury Hough '15. He entered College with the class of 1911, and appears in the reports of this class rather than those of 1912, with which he took his diploma. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.

Graduating with symptoms of tubercular disease, he spent the next two years living out of doors in the White Mountains, first at the State Sanatorium at Glencliff, and later near Intervale. In the fall of 1914 he went to Colorado and took up his residence at Canon City, where he was engaged as a public accountant, spending the summer months on a ranch at Micanite. He became a member of Company C, First Separate Battalion of Infantry, Colorado National Guard, and was called into service with his company in June, 1916, being stationed for some time at Douglas, Ariz., and being promoted to the rank of sergeant. His health, which he seemed to have regained, broke down under the strain of army life. The death of his mother in March, 1916, and of his father in January, 1917, were severe blows to him, and on both occasions he underwent the strain of racing across the country, once from Colorado and again from Arizona under leave of absence from the army, to be present at the funerals of his parents.

Mr. Hough was a Mason and an Elk. He possessed a peculiarly sunny disposition and a winning personality that surrounded him with friends wherever he went. The burial was at ,Dover, N. H.
