NEWS FROM THE CLASSES CLASS OF 1867

Capt. William A. Ketcham was elected commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the annual encampment held at Indianapolis in September.

On Monday, September 6, Rev. Charles H. Merrill and wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home in St. Johnsbury, Vt. There were present sixteen of the twenty of their family group. The same evening their youngest daughter, Winifred Salisbury, dressed in her mother's wedding gown, was married to Arthur Ethelbert Howard, Jr., of Hartford, Conn.

On Wednesday, August 11, Professor and Mrs. Horace Goodhue celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their home in Northfield, Minn. They were fortunate in having with them the entire family circle, eighteen in all, a fine group picture of whom is given in the Narthfield News of August 13. Of these seven came from Cape Town, South Africa, Dr. C. H. Wellman, Mrs. Clarabel Goodhue Wellman, and their five children. Mr. H. H. Wellman, Mrs. Mae Goodhue Wellman, and their two children were from Chicago, and Ralph B. Goodhue and wife and their three children were from Dennison Minn. It is interesting to note that 25 years before at the celebration of their silver anniversary two other members of the faculty of Carleton College joined with them, Prof. William W. Payne and Dr. Lyman B. Sperry and their wives, pictures of whom are reproduced in this same issue of the News. All are now living, but the two latter couples no longer reside in Northfield.

Secretary, Rev. Charles H. Merrill, St. Johnsbury, Vt.
