Daniel Hall died at his home in Dover, N. H., January 8, 1920, after an illness of several weeks.

He was the son of Gilman and Eliza (Tuttle) Hall, and was born in Barrington, N. H., February 28, 1832, preparing for college at New Hampshire Conference Seminary and with private study. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, having overcome a poor preparation so that he became the first scholar of his class.

Being a Democrat in his political affiliations, he obtained upon graduation a clerkship in the New York Custom House, which he retained for four years. Returning to New Hampshire, he began the study of law in the office of Daniel M. Christie (Dartmouth 1815) of Dover, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1860. In 1859-60 he also served as school commissioner of Strafford county.

Having become a Republican in politics, in the fall of 1861 he was appointed clerk of a committee of the United States Senate of which John P. Hale of New Hampshire was chairman, to investigate the surrender of the Norfolk Navy Yard to the Confederate government. When the work of this committee was completed, Mr. Hall was appointed clerk of the. Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, of which Mr. Hale was chairman. In March, 1862, he resigned this position to accept a commission as captain and aide-de-camp in the regular army, serving first on the staff of General! A. W. Whipple and then on that of General O. O. Howard. He participated in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, being slightly wounded in the last battle. In December, 1863, he left the service on account of poor health. In June, 1864, he was appointed provost marshal of the First District of New Hampshire, and served as such to the close of the war.

Having resumed his law practice in Dover, he was in 1866 appointed clerk of the Supreme Court for Strafford county, and in 1868 judge of the police court of Dover. These positions he held until 1874. In the meantime he had been judge advocate with rank of major in the state militia under Governor Smyth (1865-7), and was a member of Governor Harriman's staff (1867-9) with the rank of colonel. For this reason he was subsequently commonly known as Colonel Hall. In 1876-7 he was reporter of decisions of the Supreme Court, and also again judge of the police court of Dover. From 1877 to 1886 he was naval officer of the port of Boston. After the last date he was in legal practice in Dover and interested in many financial matters, achieving in both lines an eminent success. Though always active in politics, the only elective office he ever held was membership in the Constitutional Convention of 1912.

Colonel Hall was greatly interested in historical matters, and had been president of the New Hampshire Historical Society, before which he had delivered addresses. He had also been president of the Dover Historical Society, and had read valuable papers before it. In 1892 a volume of his occasional addresses was published.

He was the principal mover in the establishment of the New Hampshire Soldiers' Home at Tilton, and was long one of its managers. In 1892 he was department commander of the G. A. R. For many years he was trustee of Berwick Academy, the Dover Public Library, and of the Strafford Savings Bank, and director of the Strafford National Bank.

January 25, 1877, he was married to Sophia, daughter of Jonathan T. and Sarah (Hanson) Dodge of Rochester, N. H., who survives him, with one son.

Colonel Hall was the last survivor of the academical graduates of 1854, Messrs. Kimball and Nute being graduates of the Chandler School.

CLASS OF 1870

The death of James William Cheney, which occurred at his home in Washington, D. C, October 20, 1917, has only recently been made known to the MAGAZINE.

The son of James William Cheney, he was born in Newburyport, Mass., January 22, 1849. In college he became a member of Alpha Delta Phi. His musical ability and his skill as an organist quickly gained him recognition, and for the greater part of his college course he was the regular organist for the college chapel. His career as church organist was practically continuous to the very close of his life. He was also in continuous service professionally in connection with the Masonic organizations of Washington.

The earlier years after graduation were spent in teaching. For the first ytear he taught in LeRoy Academical Institute, Genesee County, N. Y., the next year he was principal of an academy at Hartford, Ohio. In 1872-3 he was principal of Rockville Center Institute, Rockville, L. I.; in 1873-4 he taught in Lockwood's Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y.; in 1874-6 he was principal of Hampton (N. H.) Academy; in 1876-9 of the high school of Merrimacport, Mass.; in 1879-81 of an academy at North Sewickley, Pa.; in 1881-3 of Eclectic Institute, Jersey Shore, Pa., and in 1883-7 of a private academy in the same place. In 1887-8 he was engaged in business in Williamsport, Pa.

The main work of his life was in government service in Washington. August 1, 1888, he became a clerk in the Post Office Department; in December, 1889, he was transferred to be stenographer for the private secretary of the postmaster general; in 1897 he was made librarian of the War Department Library, one of the largest, as well as one of the most valuable collections in the national capital, numbering about 100,000 rare books and pamphlets. He held this position until 1914, when a reorganization placed this library, or the greater part of it, in the War College, and changed Mr. Cheney's position, not for the better. In 1916 he received a promotion to nearly the same position he had held prior to the reorganization. This near restitution to what seemed to him and his friends his rightful place added much to the happiness of his last year of life.

Mr. Cheney was a man of unusual simplicity and sincerity, of thoroughgoing integrity, of a sensitive and kindly nature. It was the privilege of his class secretary to visit him in 1916, both at his post in the War College and in his home, and the impression thus gained was that he was a man of much originality, of singleness of purpose, and of clear honor. Mr. Henry P. Blair '89 of Washington, well known to Dartmouth men, speaks of Mr. Cheney in the following terms: "Mr. Cheney had a long and honorable record of service in the War Department, and will be greatly missed by those who were closeyl identified .and associated with him there. He has been the chorister of the local Dartmouth Association for a great many years, and was active and happy at the Dartmouth Night meeting here only eight days before his death."

Mr. Cheney was twice married. August 8, 1871, he married Dora E. Ballou of Newburyport, Mass.; and July 19, 1887, nine years after her death, he married Margaret Kline Stover of Williamsport, Pa. He left three sons and a daughter. One of the sons, James W., Jr., is an accomplished organist, and serves in that capacity at the First Baptist church of Pittsburgh. The daughter, a graduate of George Washington University, has a position in the Library of Congress.

Charles Edward Putney died at his home in Burlington, Vt., February 3, after a two weeks' illness, following a general breakdown.

He was born in Bow, N. H., February 26, 1840, one of fourteen children of David and Mary Putney. Younger brothers were in the classes of 1873 and 1875. He prepared for college at New London Institution (now Colby Academy), and was ready to enter at the outbreak of the Civil War. August 16, 1862, he enlisted in Company C, Thirteenth New Hampshire Volunteers, was mustered in September 19 as corporal, and was mustered out with the regiment as sergeant June 21, 1865. This regiment had a long and brilliant record in the Army of the Potomac, and had the honor of leading the advance at the occupation of Richmond, Mr. Putney being one of the first four men to enter the city.

Entering college in the fall of 1866, he maintained a high rank for scholarship, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at graduation. His fraternity was Kappa Kappa Kappa.

From 1870 to 1873 he was principal of the Classical and English Boarding School at Norwich, Vt. In 1873 he became a teacher in St. Johnsbury Academy, and in 1882 was promoted to the principalship, remaining there until 1896. In 1884, during this service, the College conferred on him the honorary degree of Ph.D. He was then for five years superintendent of schools of the Templeton district in Massachusetts. In 1901 he removed to Burlington, and has since been a teacher of Latin and Greek in the city high school.

He was long a member of Stannard Post, G. A. R., and at his death commander of the post, having at last accepted an office which he had long refused. He was active in the work of the College Street Congregational church, of which he was a deacon.

September 2, 1871, Mr. Putney was married to Abbie M. Clement of Norwich, Vt., who died in 1901. Two daughters survive, Mrs. L. P. Wood of San Marcos, Texas, and Mrs. W. O. Lane of Burlington; there are also five grandchildren.

From many words of appreciation in the Burlington Free the following are chosen: "It is not uncommon for a man to be beloved — most men gather about them some little circle in which they find a measure of kindly regard and a degree of protection from the world without. But it is not for many men that the cup of affection is filled so full or filled by so many hands as it has been for Charles Edward Putney. It was the glory of some ancient cities that they needed no walls, because the quality of their own sons was their sufficient protection. Mr. Putney had that within him which disarmed the world. He was a fine and minute scholar ; he was a patient and considerate instructor ; he was a wise and sympathetic friend, he was a high and noble man. There are few whose names could bring so cordial a response from so wide a circle. In the many years during which he served as a teacher, how many boys and girls passed through his hands! Upon each he left some impress stamped something of his own personality to be carried with them broadcast.

CLASS OF 1873

James Horace Pettee was born July 16, 1851 in Manchester, N. H. He was the son of Horace and Elizabeth Fairbanks (Wilson) Pettee. His mother died while he was very young, and his father married for his second wife Sarah Adams. The father was for many years a dealer in flour and grain in Manchester.

Entering Dartmouth at the opening of the fall term in 1869, he continued his studies without interruption until his graduation. As was the general custom in those days, he engaged in teaching during his course, being so employed in Wells, Maine, in sophomore and junior winters. He was a member of Delta Kappa freshman and Kappa Kappa Kappa upper class fraternities, as well as the Theological and Missionary Society, the predecessor of the Christian Association. He was a fine scholar, his rank giving him a .place on the Junior Exhibition and Commencement programs. He was also a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. At the close of junior year he was one of the party which, according to the annual custom of those days, went on a pedestrian trip to the White Mountains and back.

After his graduation he spent a year in teaching in a private school in Pittsburgh, Pa. In September, 1874, he entered the theological seminary at Andover, Mass., taking the full course there, and graduating in 1877. During one of his vacations he took a trip abroad with a friend, the two going steerage and roughing it around Europe, but thoroughly enjoying the experience. He preached constantly during his seminary course, supplying churches at New Boston, Goff's Falls, Candia, and elsewhere. Early in his course he decided to devote himself to missionary work in foreign lands, and May 8, 1878, he was ordained as a missionary by a council of Congregational churches held in his boyhood church in Manchester, N. H. He sailed from San Francisco, October 1, and anchored in Yokohama Bay October 21, his wife accompanying him. Thence they sailed south, and after a trip of 350 miles arrived two days later at Kobe. Six months later they were granted permission to begin work at Okayama, which was not a treaty port. They opened the mission there on April 20, 1879, with their first public service, but did not fully establish their home in Okayama until the middle of September of that year. The remainder of his life was spent in Japan, which he saw change from an exclusive, backward despotism to a progressive government, a first class naval power, a country eager for the advanced western educational methods. Pettee made several trips to the United States. His earnest, helpful, self-denying labors endeared him to the Japanese, and a native Christian church was soon organized. Okayama became the central station for work in the many outlying villages, the Okayama division of Japan having a population of over a million people.

Mr. Pettee was present in Hanover at the reunion of his class in June, 1898, and received from Dartmouth at that time the degree of Doctor of Divinity. lowa (now Grinnell) College that same year conferred upon him the same degree.- In addition to his regular work he was foremost in all charitable enterprises, and was deeply interested in the work among the orphans of Japan, and in the orphanages established by Mr. Ishii. Dr. Pettee was an easy, forcible writer, and contributed many articles on Japan to the papers and magazines. He was the author of two books, "Mr. Ishii and His Orphanages," published in 1894, and "A Chapter of Mission History in Modern Japan, 1869-1895," published in 1895. He was a member of the Japanese Asiatic Society, the American Asiatic Society, and other organizations. A number of his poems and hymns were published in Japanese. When .the Christian Endeavor movement spread to Japan, Dr. Pettee took up the work with great, and was permitted the pleasure of entertaining the founder of that movement, his classmate, Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, on his visits to Japan.

Dr. Pettee came home on a furlough from Japan about a year ago, and during this, as during his previous visits, had made many addresses. He. had planned to return to Japan in April, and both he and Mrs. Pettee were joyful in the anticipation of resuming their labors. Had he been permitted to return, he would have been at the head of the Congregational missionary work in Japan. During his stay in America, he had been living in Auburndale, Mass. For some time he had not been so well as usual, and yet was making his plans for his return. While making a call at the rooms of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Boston, to arrange for his going back to Japan, he was taken suddenly ill and died, February 17, 1920, of pernicious, pyaemia. Impressive funeral services were held on the afternoon of Friday, February 20, in the chapel of the Old South Congregational church, Boston.
