CLASS OF 1877

Fred Winslow Farnsworth died at his home in Mount Vernon, N. Y., very suddenly, of angina pectoris, on the night of June 24.

The son of Thomas Treadwell and Lucy Brigham (Rice) Farnsworth, he was born in Milford, N. H., November 8, 1854, and prepared for college at the high school of that town. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi. He made a good rank in scholarship throughout the course and was greatly esteemed by his classmates. This regard and confidence of those who knew him has followed him through life.

In the fall of 1877 he went to Red Wing, Minn., to become principal of the high school, and remained in that position until 1888. He then returned to his native town, and taught its high school for three years, after which he was proprietor of a bookstore in Milford, until 1903. For a short time after this he held a business position in Minneapolis, and in 1905 he went to New York city to enter the office of the Underwriters Salvage Company, where he remained.

While in business in Milford he served on the school board. He was actively connected with the Congregational church of Milford, and with the Presbyterian church in Mount Vernon. He was a member of the Masonic order.

June 9, 1885, Mr. Farnsworth was married to Emlie May, daughter of Morris and Martha (Albright) Herschler of Red Wing, Minn. She survives him, with their two daughters and three sons. One son, Harold T., is a non-graduate member of the class of 1911.
